The pharmacy community in Nova Scotia has lost a bright light in the tragic passing of Glenn Rodrigues on December 27, 2025. Glenn, a pharmacist, graduated from the Dalhousie's College of Pharmacy in 1999. In 2018, Glenn joined the PANS team as Coordinator and Practice Facilitator for Prescription to Thrive, where he supported pharmacy teams in improving workflows and implementing services. This work led to the creation of the Thrive Manager Support Program, allowing Glenn to further inspire pharmacy leaders through his positivity and passion for change.

He was deeply passionate about advancing pharmacy practice, supporting pharmacy professionals, and improving patient care. Creating positive, supportive team cultures was always a top priority for Glenn. At PANS and beyond, he consistently recognized the strengths of others and made people feel valued. Glenn will continue to be remembered for his humour, enthusiasm, and unwavering drive to make things better.
