D., assistant professor in the College of Pharmacy, and the 91AV Academy of Student Pharmacists have been awarded $1,000 for "Heart to Heart Community Health Fairs" by the National Association of Chain Drug Stores Foundation in partnership with the Million Hearts initiative, which was created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The health fairs are community events that aim to educate people about heart health issues.  The fairs include blood pressure screening, cholesterol education, and smoking cessation information. These events enable student pharmacists at 91AV to provide preventative care to members of the community.

The College of Pharmacy was among fifteen award recipients that were selected from nearly 70 applicants.
