[Erika] has gone above and beyond what is typically expected of a pharmacist — reaching out personally, connecting with us on a human level, and ensuring that we felt supported every step of the way. Her compassionate approach is a testament to her genuine care and the culture of excellence at CHOP.”

Not only does [Brie] go above and beyond for families, but above and beyond for her colleagues, supporting everyone’s milestones and professional recognitions. She deserves to be highlighted for bringing love and light to those around her.”
