From the Desk of the CEO

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about many unforeseen changes in our personal and professional lives, from social distancing with our coworkers to counseling patients through plastic shields.

As pharmacists, we are the most accessible health care providers, and for many patients, pharmacists are the first connection for patient care.

The importance of patient-centered care is drilled into us from day one of our professional training as pharmacists.

Pharmacy Today is available online and as a print magazine. As with any printed publication, much of our content is finalized when the issue goes to press, which is about 20 days before it makes it to your pharmacy. As I sit down to write this month’s Perspective, I find that this time delay presents me with a unique dilemma as an editor. I am honestly unsure of where we will find ourselves 20 days from now.
