New Geriatric Pharmacy Fund Honors the Legacy of UWSOP Alum Dean Baxter<\/a><\/h4>\n
\n

\t\t\t\t\t\"Dean<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

For Louise Baxter, M.D., the roots of health care and a commitment to geriatrics truly run deep.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Louise established the McPhee Geriatric Nursing Support Fund at the UW to honor her mother Sally, who, along with several relatives, devoted her life to a career in nursing. A few years later, Louise decided that a parallel fund to support geriatric pharmacy would be a perfect complement, so in tribute to her late father, UWSOP alum Dean Baxter \u201958, she established the Dean Baxter Endowed Support Fund in Geriatric Pharmacy in 2017. The fund supports professional pharmacy students and practicing pharmacists seeking a Plein Certificate in Geriatric Pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
