Dr. Tremain Cooper
Member SpotlightI'm a member of SCPhA because I'd like to give back to the industry that has given so much to me. The role of the local independent community pharmacy was elevated during the pandemic. Also, my role as a pharmacist working in public health was elevated during the pandemic. I was on the front lines unlike any other time in my 15-year career. SCPhA has always been at the center of the work that advances the profession. I'd like to contribute to the best of my ability.

Dr. Julie Sease
Member SpotlightBeing a member of SCPhA is important to me because of the connections the association allows me to maintain with colleagues across the state. Relationships are important to me and SCPhA helps me stay in touch with pharmacy friends I might otherwise lose contact with. I am also passionate about advocating for advancements in pharmacy practice and changes that will improve patient care. SCPhA is passionate about those same things!
