CALL TO ACTION!

TO: ALL COMMUNITY PHARMACISTS

Pharmacy as we know it is in jeopardy.

The patient care and services you provide, the way you practice your profession, your wages, your hours, and your livelihood are in jeopardy.

We need every pharmacist in Ontario to take action and stand up for pharmacy.

The Ontario government is considering making major cuts to pharmacy funding. It’s time to come together, prepare ourselves with the facts, and fight for our patients and our profession.

Please plan to attend one of the important information sessions for all pharmacists.

RSVP by January 5th to calltoaction@opatoday.com.
