Meet the 2026 APEX Award Winners

Pharmacists are among the most accessible healthcare practitioners in Alberta, located in nearly every community across the province. Every day, pharmacists provide primary care, support public health initiatives, and deliver essential health services to Albertans. From community pharmacies and clinics to hospitals, long-term care facilities, research centres, policy environments, and even in the homes of patients, pharmacists play a critical role in improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities.

Many of these moments of care and impact happen quietly and often go unheard. Recognizing and celebrating the positive contributions pharmacists make every day is an important source of pride, purpose, and engagement within the profession.

The 2026 APEX Awards celebrate pharmacists whose work truly stands out. This year’s recipients were nominated by their peers for providing exceptional patient care to Albertans and for their contributions to advancing pharmacy practice.

We applaud the efforts of all the 2026 APEX Award recipients and thank those who took the time to recognize their colleagues by sharing their stories through nomination letters. Their achievements highlight the impact pharmacists continue to make every day.
