125 Acts of Service

As part of our celebration, our current Temple Pharmacy students have decided to challenge themselves to complete 125 Acts of Service in the communities we serve. This includes public health education events, volunteer immunization drives, community blood pressure and diabetes monitoring, and more!

Follow along as we share the progress toward their goal.
