A Tip of the Hat Goes to…
We give a tip of the hat to both RESEARCH ADMINISTRATOR DAY and WORLD PHARMACIST DAY. Where would we be without either one of these specialists. No research would happen, and we would be in a world of pain and sickness without our pharmacists. Thank you both for what you do.
