On January 28, 2015, H.R. 592, the Pharmacy and Medically Underserved Areas Enhancement Act, was introduced in the House of Representatives by Reps. Brett Guthrie (R–KY), G.K. Butterfield (D–NC), and Todd Young (R–IN). Just as exciting, a day later on January 29, S. 314, legislation with the same name as H.R. 592, was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Robert Casey (D-PA), Mark Kirk (R-IL), and Sherrod Brown (D-OH). While we had legislation that mirrored the language in H.R. 592/S. 314 last year in the House, this is the first year we have had a companion bill in the Senate.

I am a firm believer that a picture is worth 1,000 words. Photography serves many purposes: photos can tell a story, capture memories, portray emotion, elicit action, show recognition, explain things beyond words, and leave you speechless. Sometimes all at once. Through APhA–ASP, photographs have helped express my passion, recognize accomplishments of my peers, and capture memories and experiences to reflect on.
