Former Chief Executive Officer, Henry Ford Health System
American Pharmacists Month at Walgreens
In this video series, we highlight the achievements and experiences of Walgreens pharmacy team members.
Pharmacists hold a unique and trusted position as the front door to healthcare.
Today’s pharmacy teams are increasingly involved in delivering clinical services such as testing, assessing and treating patients. They help manage both acute and chronic conditions and medications, provide preventive care and enhance access to clinical trials.
Motivated by the pressing need to advance health equity and Walgreens unique position to improve access to care, our pharmacy teams make it possible to drive meaningful advances in creating a better healthcare experience for all.
During American Pharmacists Month and every day beyond, we are grateful for all the ways our pharmacy teams model what it means to provide exceptional care for our patients.

AnnMarie Soliman knew she wanted a career where she could help people. So, it only makes sense that she ended up the pharmacy manager at a Walgreens in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. Soliman takes pride in her pharmacy being both an HIV Center of Excellence as well as a newly established Walgreens Clinical Trials site.
Thirty years ago, Dina Huerta took a chance on a part-time job as a cashier at a Walgreens in Arizona. Her best friend worked there, so she thought it would be fun. What started as a part-time job quickly became a full-time passion, as Huerta became a pharmacy technician.
