When pharmacists gather, we do more than share science. We serve. At the 20th Annual Scientific Conference in Denver, NAPPSA turned its commitment to community into action. The conference flu clinic, held as part of the CSR event, vaccinated 65 people. Sixty-five neighbors left healthier and better protected because NAPPSA showed up.
Harold Okocha, Chair of the Denver Local Organizing Committee, reported the final count. We thank Harold, who coordinated with Dr. Alice Sorumekum, owner and operator of TKS Pharmacy and member of Kingdom Connection Christian Center (KCC), the Denver LOC, and all the pharmacists and volunteers who gave their time to serve the Denver community. Each of you turned a conference stop into a moment of care.
The clinic was co-sponsored by TKS Pharmacy, KCC and Walgreens Pharmacy. Special thanks to KCC for opening their facility and to Walgreens for supplying the vaccines.
This outreach reflects what NAPPSA stands for: pharmacists using their expertise to improve health in the communities where we gather. Wherever we meet, we leave a community stronger than we found it. Denver is proof, and we are just getting started.
