Message from the President
June 2015 Inside this issue:
My year of presidency is almost half over and what a great first half it has been! The second half promises to be even more amazing, a lot of activities and CE events are planned! Please join us!
SBLB-SHP was named Chapter of Distinction for 2014 by CSHP. Kenn Horowitz was selected to receive the Distinguished Service Award for 2015. This award recognizes an individual who has made exceptional and sustained contributions to the Society at the regional and state levels. Kenn is a very well deserved recipient. Please plan to join us at Seminar when Kenn receives his award and we celebrate in his honor! SBLB-SHP sponsored Brian Phan (USC Class of 2017 & ASHP/CSHP president) Steve Thompson and Kenn Horowitz to attend California Pharmacy Legislative Day on April 28th. It was a great turn out! During late April and early May, we held 3 accredited CE sessions of Western States Presentations by PGY1 and PGY2 Residents. We had Residents representing Long Beach Memorial/Miller Children’s, Caremore/USC, Kaiser Permanente, Providence Little Company of Mary, and Veterans Affairs Long Beach. Angela Jeong and Billie Gomes coordinated these sessions. Our Mentorship Program with USC Students has completed its first six months. It has been a great success with positive feedback from both mentors and mentees. We have had several mentees come to our Board meetings. Tim Chou and Angela Lee have done an incredible job with this program. Public Relations co-chairs Kirsten La and Scott Harada are busy scheduling Health Fairs. Membership co-chairs Matthew Kamada and Charles Lam are planning a “Meet the Board” with graduating Pharmacy School students and Residents on June 10th. (continued on next page)
