What People Are Saying About NGP
What a beautiful, fun-filled evening honoring pharmacists and technicians who are excelling in the profession! Pharmacy Times & Parata, you once again have outdone yourselves with this gala for The Next-Generation Pharmacist. What a fantastic program!
I have truly never been more overwhelmed with gratitude and amazement at any event that honored the accomplishments of our profession. I’d like to offer a huge thanks for Parata Systems and Pharmacy Times.
Support of this program and recognition of pharmacists is a great thing because you’re supporting and celebrating the individuals who are quickly becoming the first and last line of healthcare.
What an unbelievable evening! This is an event I will never forget. The category award I was presented is something I take great pride in and hope every patient who comes into my store feels the presence of that effort.
It was also so humbling to share the night with a room full of so much wisdom and hear all the finalist’s stories about how they’re working toward improving healthcare quality. What an incredibly inspiring and invigorating event!
It was an honor to be a finalist for the 2017 Next-Generation Pharmacist Health-System Pharmacist award… I love what I do as a pharmacist and it was both humbling and rewarding to be recognized for my work.
