Celebrating Pharmacists: UPMC Health Plan Hosts Inaugural Pharmacy Care Day

It’s been a rough year for both national chain and independent pharmacies. To highlight the vital role of pharmacists in the community, UPMC Health Plan recently organized its first Pharmacy Care Day. This event aimed to raise awareness about the essential services provided by pharmacists and their impact on public health.
During the day, attendees had the opportunity to receive flu shots, ensuring they are better protected against seasonal illnesses. The event also featured engaging activities, including appearances by mascots, which added a fun element to the informative sessions. Community members were encouraged to interact with local pharmacists, who provided valuable insights into medication management and health screenings.
Pharmacy Care Day served as a reminder of the critical support pharmacists offer, especially during challenging times. By fostering connections between healthcare providers and the community, UPMC Health Plan is paving the way for enhanced health outcomes and greater public awareness of pharmacy services.
