This award honors alumni in healthcare that have made significant contributions to the industry, exemplified leadership within the healthcare profession, and are redefining how healthcare will have an impact for years to come.
“Being recognized as an Outstanding Alumni at Pepperdine is truly an honor, both personally and professionally,” John said in an interview with Pepperdine. “I have dedicated my career to changing the healthcare landscape for the better and am thrilled to be recognized for the work that I have been associated with and the amazing people with whom I have teamed over the years.
“Serving in healthcare in the year of the COVID-19 pandemic forced us to do some very unique things. We focused our company to enhance our services to deliver critically needed medications to people outside of normal healthcare locations. We modified our technology, resources, and people to connect with patients directly and to provide healthcare services at their home or through telemedicine/telepharmacy. This honor really is recognition for the amazing job my team performed in this time of crisis.”
