Wingate, N.C. – Three Wingate University School of Pharmacy professors are recipients of a $25,000 grant. Drs. Delilah Jackson, Jacky Olin and Michael Manolakis received the grant from the American Pharmacists Association Foundation for a year-long project that will study pharmacist-lead patient care teams for improving the care of people affected by diabetes.
Dr. Jackson is the principal investigator for this research project, which will incorporate collaboration with the Wingate University Physician Assistant Studies Program, the Wingate University health clinic, three Union County based community pharmacies and a free clinic in Matthews. Preliminary work on the project has begun. Wingate University School of Pharmacy was one of 25 sites selected from a national pool of proposals.
