  • In 1959, Joyce Newman was one of just 27 women pharmacists at Walgreens.

    Today, women make up 62% of our pharmacist workforce, a powerful reflection of how far the profession has come and the generations of women who helped move it forward. This Women Pharmacist Day, we celebrate the women who have shaped Walgreens’ 125-year pharmacy legacy and those who continue it every day through their expertise, leadership, compassion and commitment to care.
