Abstract

The Student National Pharmaceutical Association (SNPhA) is devoted to projects and initiatives that aim to enhance community health and awareness concerning many different disease states. Our ultimate goal is to serve the underserved. As students at the College of Pharmacy, we are being trained as future professionals in the health care world. SNPhA is an outlet for us to apply our knowledge and skills as we learn and foster an attitude of service.

Description

IMPACT. 1: This past year we served over 1,200 patients and held 30 events. We have events for Generation Rx, Central Ohio Diabetes Association, and this year, we are partnering with Heart of Ohio Family Health Centers to develop a smoking cessation program. -- 2. Through our partnership with the National Kidney Foundation of Ohio, we have offered kidney health screenings and created an OSU team for the Columbus Kidney Walk held yearly. -- 3. Our screenings have greatly increased awareness and empowered people to take charge of their health. We have helped identify patients who are at risk of developing chronic kidney disease that may not have otherwise known.
