Jack Pinkus is a retired pharmacist with an incredible legacy of patient service and community care. Jack began his pharmacy career in the 1950s, and celebrated his 100th birthday in January 2026.
He saw pharmacy practice evolve from mixing ingredients by hand to sophisticated digital systems with a patient’s every detail available with a click. But for Jack, one thing that’s never changed is the importance of interpersonal skills in patient care.
The Ontario Pharmacists Association sat down with Jack to take a look back at his career, and talk about how he’s seen pharmacy evolve over the last 70 years.
