Our APhA–ASP team at the East Tennessee State University Bill Gatton College of Pharmacy earned the 2023–2024 Operation Substance Use Disorders Award through a series of impactful community outreach activities focused on harm reduction and substance misuse education. We were honored to receive this national award at the APhA Annual Meeting & Exposition in Nashville this past March.

This recognition reflects the collective effort of students, faculty, preceptors, and community members working toward the shared goal of better health.
