In 1999, Senior PharmAssist created two awards, the Margaret K. Goodwin Service Award and the Thomas R. Howerton Leadership Award, to honor individuals who made extraordinary contributions to the health and lives of Durham residents. In 2011, we added the Community Health Citizenship Award to celebrate exemplary corporate leadership. And in 2014, we established the Ruth Mary Meyer Sustainability Award, a tribute to remarkable community change agents.
