Holly Whitcomb Henry, president of the National Community Pharmacists Association, will discuss implications for new community pharmacist roles in a reformed health care system Friday, Sept. 25, at 2:30 p.m. in Room 129 of the University of Wyoming Classroom Building.

She is the keynote speaker for the annual Otis L. Hoy Memorial seminar for UW's Pharmacy Weekend. Henry will discuss "Pacing the Cage to Setting the Pace: Changing the Paradigm for Community Pharmacists." A reception will follow outside Room 427 of the Health Sciences Center.

They include a pharmacy specializing in providing services to residents of adult family homes, one inside a skilled nursing home and one specializing in home medical equipment and community long-term care services.

A board certified pharmacotherapy specialist, Henry holds a specialty certificate in geriatric pharmacy practice from the University of Washington School of Pharmacy.
