Gilbert Cohen, Treasurer and PEAC Monitor
Gil Cohen remembers being asked to join a group of people interested in forming a committee that would aid members of the pharmacy profession with addiction. This was 1982. He happened to be dealing with a family member struggling with this problem which he knew very little about. This gave him the opportunity to be educated and also a way to give back to Pharmacy which had provided him and his family a very good lifestyle. He serves as treasurer and has also monitored many pharmacists through their journey to recovery. The reward of helping people regain their lives and then re-enter the profession is the passion that drives him to volunteer on the Council.
Gil enjoys a semi-retired lifestyle that has allowed him and his wife to travel the world. Home grown in Baltimore, he graduated from Maryland Pharmacy School in 1954. He and his wife, Jean, were married the same year, raising their three children and five grandchildren in the Baltimore area.
