ALACHUA, Fla. – At their September 23 meeting, the Alachua City Commission recognized the Pharmacy Profession by proclaiming October 2024 as American Pharmacists Month.

This proclamation acknowledges the service to our communities by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Pharmacists provide much more than access to medications; they also provide accurate information and communication about medications and the safe and appropriate use of those medications.

The Alachua County Association of Pharmacists (ACAP) Is a Unit Association of the Florida Pharmacy Association, which is affiliated with the American Pharmacists Association. ACAP serves as one of the main local professional pharmacy associations in north central Florida. As an association, ACAP advocates for appropriate medication related legislation, serves as a local source for professional development, and is involved with mentoring pharmacy students at the University of Florida.
