It’s National Pharmacy Week, Oct. 19-25, a time to recognize the powerful impact the pharmacy department has on patients at Wayne Memorial Hospital. The third full week of October is a time to shine a spotlight on the essential contributions hospital and health-system pharmacists make as part of the patient care team, WMH officials said. Pharmacists use their knowledge and expertise on the selection, administration and management of safe and effective medications to improve patient outcomes.
