CRANBURY, N.J., Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacist Moms Group, was founded in 2017 by Suzanne Soliman, Pharm.D., BCMAS, to help advance the profession of pharmacy, advocate for women in pharmacy and provide a network for pharmacist moms.

COVID-19 has created a new set of realities that none of us could have imagined and with the new variants pharmacists continue to help save lives by immunizing the entire country.

We are happy to partner with Pharmacy Times® on this important day," said  Soliman.
