Lindsay Sorge
Lindsay has been instrumental in bringing together faculty, partners at the Minnesota Department of Health, student pharmacists, biomedical library participants, interns/fellows, MPhA and more to accurately map pharmacy deserts in the state of Minnesota. She truly keeps a large group of stakeholders moving forward in alignment in an effort to reduce pharmacy deserts across the state and ensure medication and pharmacy service access for communities. Her efforts have resulted in a map that is about to be published and disseminated, a presentation at the American Public Health Association, and a clear path forward for community engagement, advocacy, and policy change to minimize pharmacy deserts and reduce health disparities.
