With more than 3,150 pharmacists and 7,600 pharmacy technicians working in over 1,200 pharmacies, Publix is proud to celebrate them this American Pharmacists Month.
Pharmacists support the health care system and give lifesaving vaccines, clinical interventions and high-quality care. They care for and guide communities through many health challenges.
Pharmacists also play an important role in helping reduce health care costs. They contribute significantly by finding alternatives and being the main point of contact for concerned patients looking for lower-cost solutions.
Not only are Publix pharmacists and their staff trusted sources of information, but they also take pride in continuing Mr. George’s legacy by providing our legendary customer service. Four Publix pharmacists tell us why they love their job:
