APhA-ASP/CPhA at UC San Diego

Our APhA-ASP luncheon last Friday was a special afternoon filled with recognition and celebration! 🤍

Thank you to our wonderful outgoing board for all of your hard work and dedication, and congratulations to our newly installed board! We are excited to see all that you will accomplish in the year ahead.

A special thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our honored guests, Dr. Painter and CPhA President Dr. Jennifer Courtney, who initiated our new board! ✨

Our very first Operation Pediatrics event 💊
Yesterday, our new initiative hosted an educational outreach event at Ralphs Pharmacy focused on pediatric OTC medication safety and administration. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more and support our initiative!
We look forward to continuing community outreach and education in the future!

Today is Fentanyl Awareness Day.💜 The APhA OSUD Committee is committed to raising awareness, promoting harm reduction, and supporting our community. One conversation can make a difference—stay informed and help save lives.

Happy World Immunization Week! Celebrate with us by tuning into our stories for educational vaccine content  💉
 
“World Immunization Week, celebrated in the last week of April, aims to highlight the collective action needed and to promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease. 🫂
Through its convening power, WHO works with countries across the globe 🌎 to raise awareness of the value of vaccines and immunization and ensures that governments obtain the necessary guidance and technical support to implement high quality immunization programmes.
The ultimate goal of World Immunization Week is for more people – and their communities – to be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.”  💌  (https://www.who.int/campaigns/world-immunization-week)

Throwback to APhA annual last week! It was so great to see everyone in LA!🌴☀️

APhA spread the love this Valentine’s Day at our Winter Kobey’s Swap Meet Health Outreach ❤️
Student pharmacists provided free health screenings and shared resources on mental health and substance use disorder to support our San Diego community.
Our outreach featured booths on Hypertension, Diabetes, Cholesterol/BMI, Substance Use Disorder, and Mental Health in collaboration with SNPhA. We also distributed free Narcan to help equip our community with life-saving tools to reverse opioid overdose.
Thank you to our dedicated preceptors and volunteers for making this event possible and for helping us care for our community 💊
