It was a great day! Thanks to our friends at Hospice Care of Middletown and Brookhaven!
Our pharmacy students are making a real difference in patients’ lives as they serve alongside one of our alumni pharmacists and independent pharmacy owners!
"Today, Blair and Hayden did two immunization clinics with me at Middletown Hospice for staff and volunteers and Brookhaven nursing home/assisted living. Over 100 vaccines were administered. Without their help, I don’t know how I would have managed this day. Not only were they extremely helpful but also the patients loved them! Although many of the patients were in a hurry to get their immunizations, Blair and Hayden both balanced excellent patient time management while also adding personal attention/conversation to show care and empathy to each person. This was especially meaningful at the nursing home where loneliness seemed a common problem. Hayden even sang the birthday song to a patient who turned 95 today.
Multiple staff and patients commented on the skill and kindness from Hayden and Blair. They were a tremendous blessing to me and others today. Thanks for preparing great future pharmacists!"
