CORPORATE PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

AvKARE Innovates Business Growth and Employee Support

“Professional Women in Healthcare® is a wonderful organization that empowers and supports positive relationships among women in the industry. It surfaces important conversations and provides tools around equality in the workplace, encouraging women to “go for it” and take executive roles and the opportunity to be around successful, like-minded individuals who desire growth.

The guest speakers provide valuable, relevant industry-specific insights I appreciate. I always leave feeling inspired and filled with new thoughts. It has helped me cultivate a growth mindset to empower my team to be their best selves personally and professionally.” – Rachel Barnes-Macnamara

AvKARE Top Initiatives for 2020-2021

As an essential service, AvKARE has been fortunate to remain open and fully staffed during the pandemic. Our goals for the year are centered around finding creative ways to grow our business under these circumstances, not only for the bottom line, but so that our employees can continue to provide for their families. To date, AvKARE has not had to furlough any of our workforce as so many other businesses have had to do. This is something we are very proud of.

Why AvKARE became a PWH® Corporate Partner:

PWH® was a natural fit for AvKARE because we have several successful women in upper level positions within the company.

Unique ways AvKARE supports PWH®:

This is our first year as a PWH® Corporate Partner. Previously, we attended the annual meetings and look forward to it coming back online. We have recently implemented as part of our “Rep of the Year” award that he or she receives an invite to the PWH® Leadership Summit to attend with our executive team. Additionally, we internally and externally promote PWH® in the market, and we anticipate a long-standing relationship and future opportunities to make an impact.

How PWH® benefits AvKARE:

PWH® provides a platform and educational opportunities to keep abreast of industry trends from a trusted resource. The opportunities to connect with industryexperts is unparalleled.
