The UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy is proud to announce the launch of the Bizzell Business of Health Care Pharmacy Lecture Series, founded by generous Carolina alums W. Robert (Rob) Bizzell BSPHAR, a 1976 graduate of the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, and his late wife Suzanne Bizzell BSP, a 1977 graduate of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.

Together, Rob and Suzanne opened Realo Discount Drug Store and were co-founders of Carolina Home Medical. They have since established multiple retail pharmacy locations throughout eastern North Carolina. Rob and Suzanne decided to endow the Bizzell Business of Health Care Pharmacy Lecture Series to emphasize the importance of pharmacy students to learn the business side of health care.

During the series, you’ll meet pharmacists, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs who have led interesting careers. Lunch will be served to those attending in-person at Chapel Hill’s Kerr Hall Room 1001 and Asheville’s Karpen 106. A Zoom link will be provided to virtual participants following registration.
