The USC School of Pharmacy has received a $5 million gift to create a new center that will seek to reduce hospitalizations and emergency room visits by making the medicine we consume safer and more efficient.
“The goal of the Titus Center is to improve patient health and safety by ensuring that patients with chronic diseases receive the right medication at the right doses, avoid dangerous drug interactions and understand how to use each medication correctly,” said Steven Chen, the school’s associate dean for clinical affairs.
