Fanous' involvement with the Ohio Northern University's HealthWise Rural Mobile Health Clinic provides valuable services to the medically underserved community of Hardin County and promotes the value of pharmacist services.  Her dedication to the community is impressive.

Amy Fanous is a true ambassador for the profession in every sense of the word. It’s pharmacists like her who take health care to the next level to ensure wellness and safe medication use,” said Ernest Boyd, OPA Executive Director.

It is OPA’s mission to unite the profession of pharmacy and encourage interprofessional relations, while promoting public health through education, discussion, and legislation.
