Women in Pharmacy

Meet the next 10 Women in Pharmacy Honorees>>

Situated within the APhA headquarters, the Women in Pharmacy Exhibit and Conference room celebrates the achievements of remarkable women throughout the history of pharmacy. The exhibit highlights many firsts for women in U.S. pharmacy, including innovating pharmacy practice as entrepreneurs, advocating for health care, serving in federal pharmacy and providing leadership in national pharmacy organizations.

Cherry blossoms are a central theme in the design of the Women in Pharmacy Exhibit and Conference Room. This steadfast tree with its delicate flower is a symbol of hope, strength, humanity. and new beginnings. The cherry blossom represents hope for equal rights and strength to persevere in hard times. It is also a symbol of compassion, kindness, charity, and sympathy, all of which are characteristics of the women honored on the wall.

The history tree featured in the conference room represents a sampling of the many women who have contributed to the advancement of pharmacy -- women leaders who had a profound influence on the profession of pharmacy in their era. Each woman on the wall represents thousands of women standing behind them and thousands more yet to enter our ranks.
