 RESOLUTION

Recognizing October 2025 as ``American Pharmacists Month'' in honor of 
 the contribution of pharmacists to provide safe, accessible, 
 affordable, and beneficial patient care services and products to all 
 residents and protect the public health of our communities.

Whereas pharmacists are some of the most accessible health care providers 
 delivering critical services to patients and contributing to the health 
 and well-being of all people;
Whereas pharmacists are best positioned to be the health care provider that 
 ensures optimal medication therapy outcomes, and helping to ensure 
 patients are adherent to their medications;
Whereas, with a community pharmacy located within 5 miles of nearly all 
 Americans, pharmacists and pharmacy personnel are best suited to work 
 collaboratively with other health care providers and are making an 
 impact helping patients overcome illness and live healthier lives 
 through chronic disease management and the full, effective use of their 
 medicines; and
Whereas, today, there are over 330,000 licensed pharmacists, over 400,000 
 pharmacy technicians, and 47,000 student pharmacists providing care and 
 serving as patient advocates to ensure access to the best and safest 
 therapy to the patients they serve: Now, therefore, be it
 Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

    (1) recognizes ``American Pharmacists Month'' in honor of 
 the contribution of pharmacists to provide safe, accessible, 
 affordable, and beneficial patient care services and products 
 to all residents and protect the public health of our 
 communities;

    (2) pledges to celebrate contributions of pharmacists to 
 the health and well-being of all people in each State;

    (3) recognizes pharmacists as one of the most accessible 
 health care providers delivering critical services to patients 
 and contributing to the health and well-being of all people; 
 and

    (4) commits to working collaboratively with pharmacists and 
 other health care providers to help patients overcome illness 
 and live healthier lives through chronic disease management and 
 the full, effective use of their medicines.
