Community Service Opportunity. Want to add to your CV and be involved in the community? I am currently working on a community health improvement project in conjunction with Springfield Pharmacy, specifically owner Chichi Ilonzo Momah, which includes screening our older adults in Delaware County for high blood pressure as well as diabetes in the comfort of their senior center. This is planned to take place at the Chester Senior Center on April 18th from 10am-12pm and if I can acquire some more help from fellow pharmacy students we could possibly expand to other Senior Community Service facilities and make an even bigger impact. This is a great opportunity to improve the health of the community! Check out the flyer HERE. If interested or have questions please email me at wh20629167@sju.edu. Thank you!! 3/27
