Pharmacy History Project

 

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 includes articles of human interest, humor and history. The intention is to preserve and share historical information about the practice of pharmacy in Arkansas. Original Working Group Members included: Jerry Stephens, Jon Wolfe, Eileen Denne, John Kirtley, and Don Stecks.
