Pharmacy Day In Olympia
Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Join us for a day to meet your Washington State Legislators and inform them of the issues facing pharmacy practice.

This is a great opportunity to teach our legislators about the role of the pharmacist in patient care and the education PharmD students receive.

The day will kick off with a group photo on the steps of the Capitol at 8:30 am-- wear your white coats! After the picture, we will have a welcoming session and a briefing on the legislative session. The rest of the day will be open to meet with your legislators and help at the Health Fair. We will assist you to set up appointments with legislators and provide information for talking points.

The Health Fair will run from 11:30 am - 3:00 pm and will include blood pressure screening, diabetes education, bone density screening and other activities. If you are a pharmacist and interested in being a preceptor at the Health Fair please contact Jenny Arnold at jarnold@wsparx.org or Cris DuVall at cduvall@wsparx.org.

See you in Olympia!

Be sure to mark your calendars and come to Olympia.
