This past month the Clinic was blessed with two pharmacy students that were riddled with trepidation upon entering our doors. Neither Alexis, from Ohio Northern University, or Ben, from Cedarville University, knew what a month at a free clinic would entail. Nevertheless, they jumped in and welcomed the education! They also were kind enough to… ( read more )
Our pharmacy extern for the month of June, Makenna, came to the clinic as part of her first of nine one-month rotations to complete her pharmacy degree from Ohio Northern University.

The Clinic was blessed to have her though, as she played… ( read more )
