The Women in Pharmacy Initiative

Showing women the way to ownership is the mission—and passion—of Women in Pharmacy. Cardinal Health has launched this first-of-its-kind program to connect women with the resources, support and inspiration they need to succeed. Whether you’re a student, fresh out of school or have been practicing for a few years, Women in Pharmacy can show you how to own, perhaps sooner than you think.

We’ll help you network with other women who already own or are on their way to ownership, just like you. You’ll also find the business tools and support you need. Plus, all the best practices, so your pharmacy succeeds from day one. Above all, you’ll get advice you can trust as you work toward that day when your doors first open, you fill your first prescription and you say to yourself: I can do this.
