National Pharmacy Technician Day is this month.
This special day, Oct. 21, is an opportunity to show our pharmacy technicians appreciation for their contributions, invaluable service and commitment to caring for our customers.
Pharmacy technicians prepare medications, pack prescription orders, manage inventory, and provide vaccinations and high-quality care to our customers and associates. Six Publix Pharmacy technicians share why they decided to pursue a career in pharmacy.
