Charlie Tarasidis receives recognition from SAMHSA

During the Virginia Pharmacist Association (VPhA) annual meeting on Saturday, Jean Bennett, Region III Administrator for SAMHSA, called Charlie to the stage unexpectedly.  Jean presented Charlie with a Challenge Coin from the U.S. Health and Human Services.  Jean wanted to recognize Charlie's work in substance use disorder, educating the public, and his passion for patients.

Challenge Coins are historically given in military settings to commemorate a service member for going above and beyond their call of duty.

Thank you Charlie for modeling our values and for always going above and beyond for patients.
