                               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.
                                 <all>
