πŸ† Congratulations to Rick Sain, PharmD, FTPA, Tennessee's 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipient! πŸ†

Rick grew up on a farm before a part-time high school job at a local pharmacy set the course for his career. That same instinct to help has carried into more than a decade of community leadership, from co-founding the Community Foundation of Rutherford County to serving on boards spanning pharmacy education, healthcare access, and civic life across Middle Tennessee.

πŸ’Š "If you give to your community, it will give back to you." πŸ’™

Join us in celebrating Rick and everything he's given to his patients, his profession, and his community.

🌟 Congratulations to Gina Moore, PharmD, MBA, Colorado's 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipient! 🌟

For more than a decade, Gina has served as Legislative Chair for the Colorado Pharmacists Society and previously as its President, helping drive major advancements in pharmacist scope of practice and reimbursement β€” expanding access to care across Colorado, especially in rural communities with few healthcare resources. She's also served as President of the American Society for Pharmacy Law.

Her community service runs just as deep: fundraising for St. Jude Children's Hospital, chairing a Junior League of Denver grant committee supporting women and children, leading weekly support groups for children who lost a parent, and volunteering at COVID-19 immunization clinics.

πŸ’Š "We all want to do good and make a difference." πŸ’Š

As Vice President, Head of Pharmacy Affairs at Walgreens, Lorri has built a career on the belief that pharmacy's impact goes far beyond the counter, shaping policy, patient access, and safe medication use at scale.

πŸ’Š "Both pharmacy and community service are about using your knowledge, skills, and compassion to create positive change." πŸ’™

πŸ† Congratulations to Rosalyn Elaine Hill Beech of Alabama, Alabama's 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipient! πŸ†

Elaine's path to pharmacy started in a chemistry lab, then a mentor's drugstore, then decades of public service. She built a career alongside her husband, a pharmacist who became her partner in practice for 20 years until his death at 49. She later served on her local school board and in the Alabama House of Representatives β€” giving her full salary back to students and scholarships both times β€” and led the community effort to bring a new mammography machine to a rural county that had lost access to one.

πŸ’Š "Sometimes, just listening to your patients is enough medicine to help them heal." πŸ’™

Join us in celebrating Elaine and everything she's given to her patients, her community, and the next generation of pharmacists.

πŸ† Congratulations to Lynne Vezina, BS β€” Vermont's 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipient! πŸ†

Lynne has spent her career proving that pharmacy is about more than the prescription counter. She grew up in her father's drugstore, learning early what it means to show up for patients β€” and she's carried that forward for decades: running medication safety programs in elementary schools, holding Medicare Part D clinics to walk patients through a confusing new system, testifying before the Vermont Legislature on behalf of independent pharmacies, and serving 15 years as treasurer of the Vermont Board of Pharmacy.

πŸ’Š "Helping people is at the heart of what pharmacists do. There's a real sense of fulfillment that comes from knowing you've made someone's day a little easier or their health a little better." πŸ’™

Join us in celebrating Lynne and everything she's given to her patients, her profession, and her state. πŸ‘

πŸ† We're excited to continue celebrating our 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipients!

Congratulations to Casey McFadden, owner of McFadden Pharmacy, on being named Ohio's 2026 Bowl of Hygeia recipient.

For Casey, community pharmacy is about far more than dispensing medicationsβ€”it's about building relationships, serving others, and being someone his neighbors can count on. From coaching youth sports and supporting local food ministries to helping families during the holidays and caring for patients every day, Casey has spent his career investing in the community he calls home.

As Casey says, "People need a person or destination they can trust and know that they care. Pharmacy gives you that opportunity."

Thank you, Casey, for your dedication to your patients, your profession, and your community. πŸ’™πŸ‘
