AU-SHIP Medicare Outreach Event in Mobile

The first Medicare Outreach event of the season was held this past Wednesday, October 15th, 2025 at the BPSOS-Gulf Coast facility in Bayou La Batre, AL. This marks the 12th year of this program partnership between the Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy and the Alabama State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). Dr. Gladys Heard from our Mobile HCOP campus, as well three pharmacy students, assisted Medicare patients in selecting the best drug plan for them, with an estimated annual savings in subsidy and drug costs of $10,789.12. Thank you to James Roberson (SHIP Coordinator), his staff from the Mobile SHIP region, and the BPSOS staff for making this event a success.
