Celebrating the difference pharmacy technicians make

National Pharmacy Technician Day is Oct. 20.

More than 8,000 pharmacy technicians work in our company, and we celebrate them this National Pharmacy Technician Day. From processing and preparing prescriptions to administering vaccines and providing premier customer service, pharmacy technicians play a vital role in keeping the pharmacy running smoothly.

Two Publix Pharmacy technicians share how they grew their careers.

Immunizing Pharmacy Technician Scott Lam, #1802, Clarksville, Tennessee

“Once I became a registered pharmacy technician, I realized how much I really enjoyed helping people. Then I continued building my skills to become an immunizing pharmacy technician.”

Lead Immunizing Pharmacy Technician Ann Spinelli, #398, Tampa, Florida

“At the time, they were looking for associates to train in pharmacy. I thought it was a good opportunity to continue to learn and grow.”
