Kyle Serafico ’17 is the winner of a $500 mini grant to help launch a medication adherence campaign aimed at patients at the Community Health Care Clinic. Serafico’s funding will help launch the new ‘Rock Your Meds’ campaign at the CHCC. The campaign is dedicated to increase patients’ adherence to their medication regimens, and the grant will help establish a medication adherence protocol that includes producing education materials in both English and Spanish for CHCC staff to use during patient interactions. Congratulations, Kyle!
