OUR STORY

In April 2017, the Pharmacist Moms Group was born.

"My husband and children were fast asleep, but I laid awake in bed feeling terribly guilty because I worked past 6:30 p.m. and missed my son’s baseball game"

Our founder, Suzanne Soliman, on numerous days felt guilty for working late hours and missing her son's sports game. The guilt would not subside, and it reached a point where she could not sleep. She knew she was not the only pharmacist mom who felt this way since many pharmacists are constantly working evenings, weekends and holidays. She began to scroll on Facebook and decided to start a group of female pharmacists to discuss mom related topics. She invited 50 of her friends, colleagues, and former co-residents. Within a month,the group reached a thousand members and 2.5 years later there are over 35,000 active members.

As a pharmacist and mom, we are constantly trying to balance our personal and professional life. The mission of the pharmacist moms group is to provide important resources, a supportive network, and most importantly a community of fellow pharmacist moms that understand the challenges and rewards of balancing everything from your checkbook, to karate practices, your personal relationships and of course your profession!
