Abstract
“Within a 10to 15-mile radius, we didn’t have preventive or wellness services for the community,” Suzanne Higginbotham, PharmD, BCACP, director of the Center for Pharmacy Care, told Pharmacy Today. Duquesne University Mylan School of Pharmacy set up the Center for Pharmacy Care in 2002, and in 2010, opened the Duquesne University Pharmacy, which is the only dispensing pharmacy in the area. The Duquesne pharmacy school’s Pharmacy Service Centers and Academic Partners Program received the 2015 Pinnacle Award in the Government Agency–Nonprofit Organization–Association category from the APhA Foundation at APhA headquarters on September 16. (See sidebar for information on the other two Pinnacle Award winners.) The Center for Pharmacy Care is run by pharmacists who see patients, either by appointment or on a walk-in basis, Monday through Friday. Three clinical pharmacists (including Higginbotham), as well as student pharmacists and residents on rotation, provide medication therapy management (MTM) services, smoking cessation counseling services, Duquesne cares: Providing pharmacist services in a medically underserved community
