"The Alzheimer's Association is excited to partner again with Eisai to recognize pharmacists who actively participate as part of the team of care providers for those with Alzheimer's disease," said Elizabeth Gould, MSW, director of quality care programs for the Alzheimer's Association. "We commend pharmacists who take the time to build relationships with their patients living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers, helping to educate them about Alzheimer's disease and enhancing the support they receive."

How to Nominate a Pharmacist

Alzheimer's patients and caregivers can nominate pharmacists through September 2009 by visiting www.carepharmacyaward.com. To be eligible, nominees must be licensed pharmacists involved in activities within the last year that have helped people with Alzheimer's disease, and these activities must have had a positive effect on patients and/or their families. A full description of the award and nomination criteria can be found at www.carepharmacyaward.com.

The winning pharmacist will be selected in October from the nominee pool by a panel of three judges. One judge is a director at the Alzheimer's Association's national office. The other two judges are past winners of this award. Each has spent more than 20 years improving the care of people with Alzheimer's disease through educational, advocacy and caregiver support programs.
