Nominate Your Pharmacist for the C.A.R.E. Award

May 12, 2009 //

Pharmacists play a critical role in helping as many as 5.3 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease and their 10 million caregivers. You can show your support by nominating your pharmacist for the C.A.R.E. (Commitment to Alzheimer’s. Recognition of Excellence.) Pharmacy Award.

Now in its ninth year, the C.A.R.E. Pharmacy Award is presented by the Alzheimer’s Association and Eisai Inc. The award is a reflection of the Eisai human health care (hhc) mission, which regards patients and their families as the most important participants in the healthcare process.

If the pharmacist you nominate is named the winner, [insert local Alzheimer’s Association chapter] will receive a $1,500 donation. Our chapter will receive another $1,500 donation if the most nominations are received from our area. These donations will help support resources to people with dementia and their caregivers living in our community.

To be eligible, a pharmacist must:

•    Be licensed. Pharmacy technicians or assistants are not eligible.
•    Be involved in activities that have a positive effect on people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families.
•    Have been involved in these activities some time during the last year.
