APEX Award Nominations Are Now Open!

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.
