We had the best time learning from our pharmacy resident speakers at our meeting this past Sunday!

Our resident speakers were:

Kennedy Durbin, PharmD who presented Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting

Amanda Dorrell, PharmD who presented Complicated UTI: A guideline update

Hannah Coziahr, PharmD who presented Finerenone for Heart Failure: The FINEARTS-HF Trial

Congratulations to Jennifer, for winning our pharmacy scavenger hunt! This was an event that occurred during our happy hour. It entailed finding a pharmacist who met a specific category (i.e: who collects pharmacy memorabilia). She won a wine basket!

Special thanks to all who donated to The Treehouse 💛. We were able to donate a lot of diapers, wipes, and not pictured were a huge donation of baby and children's clothes! Remember, we will still be collecting donations at each of the meetings. Our next meeting will be Sunday, February 1st, so mark your calendars!
