Each
year in the United States, more than 13,500 patients undergo
kidney transplants. Drug therapy for these patients is long-term
and intense. That’s where Marie Chisholm comes in. As
both an associate professor of pharmacy at the UGA College of
Pharmacy and associate professor of medicine at the Medical
College of Georgia,
Chisholm, with the financial support of the Carlos and Marguerite
Mason trust fund, founded the Medication Access Program. MAP’s
mission is to increase access to medications for solid organ
transplant patients in Georgia. MAP educates patients and healthcare
professionals about medication assistance programs. It also
helps patients complete applications and enroll in these programs.
As of Sept. 2003 the program has obtained more than $4.9 million
for 380 transplant patients in Georgia.

MISSION:
Some 30 million people in the United
States suffer from the debilitating effects painful inflammation
in the musculoskeletal tissues of the joints. Unfortunately,
taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen,
orally in the large doses required to alleviate the symptoms
can cause serious adverse effects. UGA pharmacy professor H.
Won Jun uses one or more melting point depressing agents to
turn solid ibuprofen into an oily state at room temperature.
This oily composition can be readily formulated into a cream,
a lotion, an emulsion or an ointment for topical delivery of
the drug. His method to employ topical application of the pharmaceutical
formulation is not limited to human use, but further provides
for veterinary and agricultural animal applications. MORE

Gifts are needed to establish scholarships, fellowships, professorships
and distinguished chairs — all in the interest of attracting
and retaining the best and brightest students and faculty.
Other endowments will strengthen pharmaceutical research and
development programs and provide postgraduate educational
opportunities for Georgia’s practitioners. The College
is seeking lead gifts to fulfill its goal of a new pharmacy
facility. Commitments to the programs and facilities may be
recognized by various naming opportunities within the complex.
