          findings:


          1)The California Pharmacists Association-Academy of Student

            Pharmacists Outreach Week," a statewide initiative to directly

          2)This is the first joint initiative amongst student pharmacists  
            to move health care outreach beyond the single community  
            level.

                                                                    Page  2



            address health concerns including hypertension, diabetic care,  
            high cholesterol, smoking cessation, immunizations,  
            reproductive health, and many more.


          5)CPhA-ASP's outreach week is another example of how pharmacists  
            will play a crucial role in health care advocacy in the coming  
            years. 


          This resolution declares February 12-21, 2016, inclusive, as  
          California Pharmacists Outreach Week.
