Pharmacist Moms Group® Honors 2025 Women Pharmacist of the Year Award Winners
The annual awards program recognizes women pharmacists whose leadership and innovation have advanced health care and made an impact in communities nationwide.
MONROE, N.J., Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pharmacist Moms Group® (PhMG) has announced the winners of the 2025 Women Pharmacist of the Year Awards, recognizing their significant contributions to pharmacy practice on Women Pharmacist Day, October 12.
Founded in 2017, PhMG works to advance the profession of pharmacy, advocate for women in the field, and support a trusted network of over 45,000 women pharmacists.
The awards are presented during American Pharmacists Month, highlighting the impact that women, who now make up over 60% of working pharmacists in the country, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, are making in health care and in their communities.
“Pharmacists are highly trusted providers, available to patients right in their communities,” said Suzanne Soliman, PharmD, BCMAS, founder of PhMG. “Their accessibility makes it possible for patients to get timely advice, learn about treatment options, and receive preventive care like vaccinations. We are proud to partner with Pharmacy Times® to celebrate Women Pharmacist Day and honor their essential contributions behind the counter and beyond.”
