“Hello everyone! You might recognize us on the other side of the pharmacy counter, at Skippack Pharmacy. My name is Kyle Schulze and this is Nico Lastauskas we are both fellow Pharmacy students at @duquesnepharm . Over the weekend we had the opportunity to visit both the PA state capital in Harrisburg and the country’s capital in D.C. At our state capital, we had a unique experience where we met with state legislators to advocate for our profession. Did you know in the state of Pennsylvania, pharmacists are not considered healthcare providers? Pretty crazy right. As many of you know, Dr.Mak has made a major impact not only in our local community but in the state as a whole with the Covid-19 pandemic. He has vaccinated thousands of children, adults, and grandparents. He embodies the definition of a healthcare provider, and not having that title is unjust. Pharmacists are essential to the healthcare team, and we want the credibility that we deserve! We want to thank Duquesne Pharmacy for allowing us as students to advocate for our profession and we hope there will be a change in the near future.” - Kyle Schulze & Nico Lastauskas (Skippack Pharmacy interns)APhA - American Pharmacists AssociationPennsylvania Pharmacists AssociationCPESN National Community Pharmacists Association

If you’re a Philadelphia Phillies fan today surely doesn’t feel like a Monday!Where were you last night when you saw that the game ended and realized we are headed back to the WORLD SERIES!Seen in this picture is a young Phillies fan, Dominic, with hands folded not losing Phaith 🙏🏽 To make this more fun, we are going to give away a Phillies bobble head doll and a classic rally towel to a couple lucky fans who share that moment with us. The picture or video with the most hearts will win.Let’s see those pictures & videos below!

We’ve lived the story of the “underdogs” all of our lives, but one thing Philadelphians (and suburbians) don’t do is give up! We are headed to the World Series! ⚾️ Philadelphia Phillies #Philly #RedOctober #LetsGo

So many things to be proud about but today, we are proud of our summer intern, Macy Richards, who presented to other student pharmacists & pharmacists at the annual Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association meeting about her experience with our pharmacy & community.Before the summer, she had emailed our pharmacy team that she was interested in a summer internship program we were offering in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Health, CDC, PPCN.When we replied to her email we asked her if she knew we were an hour away from her. She had no issues, never complained, but came in, took ownership, and went into action helping lead many patient-centric initiatives at our pharmacy that will positively impact thousands of lives.Thank you, Macy & thank you, Dr. McGrath, and Dr. Hake for your leadership in making this happen 🙏🏽#ChangeTheWorld #LoveOurInterns
