The APhA-ASP Chapter at UAMS put their efforts into overdrive when they took their message to the interstate. They provided health screenings and education at two travel stops to truck drivers traveling on Interstate 40 through Arkansas. The Chapter then switched gears to raise heartburn awareness among diverse/underserved populations and created four heartburn awareness educational videos that were posted on YouTube in Arabic, English, Sign-language, and Spanish.
