Celebrating National Pharmacy Week
By Office of Communications & Marketing | Oct 20, 2025
From October 19 through October 25, 2025, we proudly join the nation in recognizing National Pharmacy Week, where we honor the vital work of the professionals in the Department of Pharmacy Services and their commitment to patient care and community health.
The role of pharmacy has evolved in extraordinary ways, empowering healthcare systems to meet the growing needs of patients while advancing public health in meaningful and measurable ways.
Today, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are trusted, accessible, and indispensable members of the healthcare team. In the three divisions within Pharmacy, clinical pharmacy services, operational pharmacy services, and our Outpatient Pharmacy @ University Hospital at Downstate, they all ensure safe and effective medication use, support vulnerable populations, offer preventive care services, and improve outcomes across all communities we serve.
We are deeply grateful for the expertise, dedication, and compassion of our pharmacy colleagues. Their daily commitment safeguards health, inspires confidence, and ensures that every patient at Downstate receives the very best in care and support.
Please join us in celebrating National Pharmacy Week by extending your thanks to the Pharmacy team at Downstate. These professionals make a difference every day, protecting health, advancing care, and helping us to always #KeepCareClose.
