Ohio Pharmacists Foundation: Maternal Health Charity Event
at the 2025 MomsFirst Community Baby Shower in Cleveland
Donate to the Ohio Pharmacists Foundation for our Maternal Health Day of Charity at the MomsFirst Community Baby Shower to support an underserved community with pharmacists-led maternal health services!
The Ohio Pharmacists Foundation is proud to partner with MomsFirst to serve communities in Cleveland through pharmacist-led maternal health services. This one-day community baby shower will give us an opportunity to:
- Discuss appropriate medication dosing practices
- Counsel on folic acid and prenatal vitamin use
- Provide vaccination counseling
- Share healthcare basics with current and future parents
- Connect communities to local pharmacists
You can support this effort by donating toward Maternal Health Care Package items, including: Pharmacist-approved OTC and self-care items, folic acid and prenatal vitamins, pharmacy education resources, and more....
Join us in making a difference where it's needed most!
Donations will be recognized in an upcoming edition of the Ohio Pharmacists Journal
