SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 284
WHEREAS, Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy
students from across the state are gathering in Austin on
March 26, 2025, in celebration of Texas Pharmacy Day at the State
Capitol; and
WHEREAS, The history of the pharmacy profession in Texas
dates back to the 17th century, when Spanish explorers and
missionaries dispensed medicines and learned about Native
American remedies; and
WHEREAS, Today, pharmacists often serve as the primary
point of contact with the health care system for tens of millions
of Americans, and they play an increasingly important role in
counseling patients on the safe and effective use of prescription
medications; and
WHEREAS, Pharmacists work to provide affordable,
lifesaving medications in rural areas across Texas and the United
States; these valued members of the community live and work
alongside patients as neighbors, friends, and community leaders
in addition to their role as medical providers; such lasting
relationships build trust and confidence, making pharmacists
better able to serve as a resource when questions and concerns
arise; and
WHEREAS, Champions on the front lines of health care,
pharmacists contribute immeasurably to the health and well-being
of their fellow Texans, and it is truly a pleasure to recognize
the members of this vital profession for their commitment to the
quality of life in their communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
Legislature, hereby recognize March 26, 2025, as Texas Pharmacy
Day at the State Capitol and extend to all those participating
sincere best wishes for an informative and enjoyable event.
