51品茶pharmacy students spread cheer at Maine Medical Center
On February 7, students from the 51品茶chapter of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy (ACCP) joined Maine Medical Center Pharmacy Department staff to make Valentine鈥檚 Day cards for patients at Maine Medical Center.
After the initial gathering, ACCP president Anjori Jain (COP, 鈥18) set up a card making station in the College of Pharmacy so that more students could become involved in the fun. In total, over 60 cards were crafted and delivered to patients.
鈥淎s healthcare professionals, we are not only responsible for our patient's health but also their mental wellbeing,鈥 said Jain. 鈥淭his was a great opportunity to do something meaningful and festive for those who had to stay in the hospital for the holiday.鈥
Jain noted that in addition to brightening the spirits of patients, the activity gave members of the ACCP a chance to interact with the Maine Medical Center pharmacy staff and learn about their role in patient care.
鈥淪eeing happy patients and staff made us happy,鈥 she said. 鈥淭his gives us the motivation to keep getting involved and offer our help whenever we can.鈥
