Long-time Arkansas Pharmacist Association member Jerry Stephens asked APA to help preserve pharmacy history in Arkansas by forming the Pharmacy History Working Group in June 2011. The Pharmacy History Project will include articles of human interest, humor and history in AR●Rx The Arkansas Pharmacist quarterly journal, and information on APA’s website.  Our intention is to preserve and share historical information about the practice of pharmacy in Arkansas.  Working Group Members include: Jerry Stephens, Jon Wolfe, Eileen Denne, John Kirtley, and Don Stecks.
