Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy Spent The Day On Capitol Hill
11-5-15 | SUN-e Picture of the Day: Last week, students from the Shenandoah University Bernard J. Dunn School of Pharmacy spent the day on Capitol Hill providing blood pressure screenings to Congressional members and staff. This was part of an ongoing effort to showcase the variety of services pharmacists can provide and the integral role they play in health care teams. The Hill Health Fair, hosted by American Pharmacists Association, also offered bone density, glucose and cholesterol screenings, as well as influenza vaccinations by other student pharmacists from various schools of pharmacy in the area. In the photo above, third-year pharmacy student Spencer Blohowiak (left) counsels Georgia Representative Buddy Carter on how to maintain a healthy blood pressure through diet and exercise. Rep. Carter, the only pharmacist in Congress, is one of 240 legislators to co-sponsor the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act (H.R. 592/S.314) – a bill that will recognize pharmacists as health care professionals.
