The AmerisourceBergen Foundation & Good Neighbor Pharmacy Launch Scholarship Program To Support Aspiring Black and African American Pharmacists - Seite 2

The AmerisourceBergen Foundation and Good Neighbor Pharmacy's shared effort to encourage a more diverse pharmacy workforce through the creation of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Scholarship aligns with AmerisourceBergen's expanded commitment to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion in various aspects of its business. AmerisourceBergen's Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Council was created to provide strategic direction, best practice sharing, and accountability to advance business results through a global DEI strategy. The Global DEI Council works to amplify the DEI strategic plan, influence culture change and model cultural competency and global mindset.

"The AmerisourceBergen Foundation endeavors to advance health equity and access to healthcare through strategic investments in organizations focused on improving diversity, equity and inclusiveness in their industries, as well as the communities they serve," said Gina Clark, President of the AmerisourceBergen Foundation. "Good Neighbor Pharmacy is a fierce advocate for independent community pharmacies, and a firm believer of their position and potential to address health disparities. We see how GNP's sustained push to expand the pharmacist's role in patient care has resulted in them being more widely and rightfully regarded as healthcare providers. That's why the AB Foundation is eager to partner with the network on the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Scholarship. By empowering and uplifting the next generation of Black and African American pharmacists and pharmacy owners, we come one step closer to ensuring equitable and culturally competent care for all."
