Salvation Army ARC Health Fair

UWSOP students, in conjunction with Micki Kedzierski's Pharm 591 class on community collaborations in health care, helped put on the second annual Salvation Army ARC health fair this fall. The ARC is a residential rehabilitation program for approximately 100 men and women recovering from alcohol and/or drug addiction and mental illness. Overall the health fair was a huge success for both the students and the beneficiaries.
