Celebrating World Pharmacists Day with Yonge + Eglinton Pharmacy

Every year on September 25, we celebrate World Pharmacists Day, a special occasion to recognize the incredible contributions pharmacists make to healthcare and to our communities. This year, Yonge + Eglinton Pharmacy is proud to join the celebration by honoring the dedication, expertise, and care that pharmacists bring to patients every day.

Why Pharmacists Matter

Pharmacists are more than medication experts. They are healthcare providers who ensure safe treatments, guide patients through their health journeys, and make healthcare more accessible. From answering everyday questions to helping patients manage chronic conditions, pharmacists are trusted partners in health.

Kathe’s Commitment to Patients

At Yonge + Eglinton Pharmacy, our CEO pharmacist, Kathe Wei Wang, leads with the belief that every patient deserves compassionate, personalized care. She and the team go beyond prescriptions—providing vaccinations, medication reviews, and minor ailment prescribing services—always with the goal of improving health outcomes and empowering patients.

Kathe is also a Certified Geriatric Pharmacist, Injection Immunization Certified, and a Diabetes Educator. She truly cares about her patients and continues advancing her knowledge to provide the best possible care. By staying at the forefront of pharmacy innovations—such as offering Pharmacogenomic testing to tailor medication options—Kathe ensures her patients receive treatments that are not only effective but also personalized to their needs

“Pharmacy is about people first,” says Kathe. “Our role is to listen, educate, and guide patients so they feel supported and confident in their health.”

A Partner in Community Health

World Pharmacists Day is a reminder of the essential role community pharmacies play. At Yonge + Eglinton Pharmacy, we are proud to serve our community with professionalism, innovation, and heart. Every consultation, every prescription, and every piece of advice we give is rooted in our mission: putting patients first.
