Pharmacy gardening outreach project with people living with dementia
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, August 6, 2020
An innovative community outreach project by students and faculty members in the Ohio Northern University College of Pharmacy was recently featured in a professional publication.
“Remembering Your Roots: The Role of Horticulture Therapy in People Living with Dementia” was published in a recent edition of the “Ohio Journal of Public Health.”
The outreach endeavor, which captures the essence of service learning, involves gardening and realizing its impact on challenging dementia-related behaviors with residents of Vancrest of Ada health care center.
Due to SAT and ACT testing cancelations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio Northern University will allow most prospective first-year students, including those homeschooled, to apply for admission in the fall of 2021 without these test scores.
Students applying for admission to the nursing, early childhood education, and middle childhood education programs are not eligible for test-optional admissions and must present their ACT or SAT results due to accreditation standards.
