"As student pharmacists, we appreciate the opportunity to provide the community with vaccinations, diabetes and cholesterol screenings, medication counseling, and to educate school children and teens about prescription abuse and poisons,” said Hung Dang, a student pharmacist and PPSA fundraising chair.
