Pharmaceutical company Eisai Inc., in coordination with the Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's research, care, and support, is inviting individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers across the United States to nominate local pharmacists for the 2011 C.A.R.E. (Commitment to Alzheimer's, Recognition of Excellence)Pharmacy Award. Now in its eleventh year, the award is designed to recognize the vital role that community pharmacists play in helping the estimated 5.4 million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and their almost fifteen million caregivers.
In addition to being recognized, the winning pharmacist's local Alzheimer's Association chapter will receive a $2,500 donation for its vital support programs. Another $2,500 donation will be provided to the Alzheimer's Association chapter located in the region from which the most nominations are submitted.
To be eligible for the award, nominees must be licensed pharmacists involved in activities within the last year that have had a positive effect on Alzheimer's patients and/or their families.
A full description of the award and nomination criteria and forms are available at the award program Web site.
