Meghan Sullivan and Academy of Student Pharmacists awarded grant for health fairs

The National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation in partnership with the Million Hearts initiative, which was started by the US Department of Health and Human Services, has awarded Assistant Professor Meghan Sullivan, Pharm.D., and the UNE Academy of Student Pharmacists $1,000 for "Heart to Heart Community Health Fairs." 

The aim of these community events is to educate people about heart health, including blood pressure screening, cholesterol education, and smoking cessation. These events enable student pharmacists at UNE to make a meaningful impact in our community through preventative care. The UNE College of Pharmacy was among 15 award recipients who were selected from nearly 70 applicants.
