(Fargo, ND) A big honor coming down for one North Dakota State University student making a difference in patient care.
For her work to help underserved populations, NDSU pharmacy student Karly Westra this week received the U.S. Public Health Service Excellence in Public Health Pharmacy Award.
For the past two years, Westra served as ambulatory care clinical pharmacy intern at Family HealthCare, a local clinic that cares for underserved patients who may be homeless, have low health literacy, limited resources, language barriers, or other barriers to receiving health care.
Each week, Westra partners with this patient population. She helps them access care and increase their chances of optimal outcomes in the following areas: hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, tobacco use disorder, diabetes, anticoagulation, transitions of care, and other chronic disease states. She assists in direct patient care and in population health efforts to improve outcomes.
