Meet the Director and Team — Pharmacy Residency at St. Anne Hospital

Welcome from the Program Director

Thank you for your interest in our program! St. Anne is a 128-bed community hospital that is fortunate to be part of Bon Secours Mercy Health. The hospital has a family type of environment, provides excellent care and is also routinely involved in clinical collaboration at the system level. 

Our mission is to extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus by improving the health and well-being of our communities and bring good help to those in need, especially people who are poor, dying and underserved. We are proud to work together as a team to achieve our mission.

Our program started in July of 2021 and is fully accredited with the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP). The pharmacy staff at our institution includes several board-certified pharmacotherapy specialists (BCPS) and the staff also precepts APPE and IPPE students from a variety of schools. 

So why choose us? In my opinion, the family feel to the hospital, the large health system collaboration and our dedicated preceptors are our strengths. We look forward to hearing from you.
