MEDIA RELEASE Thank you, Pharmacy: March is Pharmacy Appreciation Month |
Dartmouth, NS – Early success of the Community Pharmacy Primary Care Clinic demonstration project launched in February has inspired an expansion of the project.
Dartmouth, NS – “It’s a momentous day,” said Allison Bodnar, CEO of the Pharmacy Association of Nova Scotia (PANS), as all of our community pharmacy primary care clinics celebrated grand openings across the province.
Dartmouth, NS – Today, 11 community pharmacy primary care clinics across the province open their doors to provide pharmacist-led primary care services. These clinics, from Yarmouth to Sydney will improve access to community based primary care services in Nova Scotia, one pharmacy clinic appointment at a time. A 12th site, in Bedford West, will open later in February.
