The Georgia Pharmacy Foundation’s Community-Centric Focus
PharmWell
- One of the Georgia Pharmacy Foundation’s key missions is helping combat pharmacist burnout, including depression, drug abuse, and a high suicide rate. The Foundation is currently reworking the PharmWell program, but if you are in need of assistance, please reach out to us at info@gpha.org and we will connect you to the correct resources.
Student Support
- The cost of higher education is climbing! The Foundation is dedicated to awarding scholarships to pharmacy students, as well as partnering with financial advisers to offer students and new graduates some relief from a life-long of debt.
Help make a difference in your community and support the Foundation today.
One way to help build the Foundation and ensure the future of our scholarship efforts is to participate in planned giving. Please reach out to the Foundation at info@gpha.org for more information.
