Eisai Inc. and the Alzheimer's Association announce today that Heather Greene, PharmD is the recipient of the 2009 C.A.R.E. Pharmacy Award.
Dr. Greene is being recognized for the critical role she has played in helping patients and caregivers fight Alzheimer's disease. As a Geriatric Consultant Pharmacist with the Riverside Health System at the Richmond PACE (Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly) facility, she is a member of an interdisciplinary team that provides care for some of the area's frailest seniors. In the nomination for her work with Alzheimer's disease patients and caregivers, Dr. Greene was described as someone "who goes far beyond being a pharmacist when she works with patients and their families"... "a caring person, a knowledgeable pharmacist, an excellent trainer and educator, and a dedicated volunteer." She received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the School of Pharmacy at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
The C.A.R.E. Pharmacy Award recognizes the extraordinary impact that pharmacists can have on the lives of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their families. Now in its ninth year, the award is a reflection of Eisai's human health care (hhc) mission, which is to give first thought to patients and their families, and to increasing the benefits that health care provides.
