WCSHPโ€™s Main Residency Symposium is our original series held right here in Westchester and continues to be one of our most loved platforms for showcasing resident talent across our region.

What started as one program has now grown into three: Main, South, and North. The demand and the talent have made that expansion necessary. This year especially, we had so many incredible residents that all three series were needed.

This night was about giving them the space they deserve to present, to shine, and to elevate the work happening across our pharmacy community. They absolutely delivered.

โœจ Featured programs and residents:
BronxCare Health System
โ€ข Saqib Khan, PharmD
โ€ข Tina Lin, PharmD

Montefiore Medical Center
โ€ข Julie Anderson, PharmD
โ€ข Maliha Akter, PharmD

St. Barnabas Health System
โ€ข Ali Ali Ali, PharmD
โ€ข Syeda Rahman, PharmD

โ€ข Kortney Knudsen, PharmD

Each resident brought thoughtful and meaningful clinical work to the stage, and we are proud to provide a platform that amplifies it.

It went beautifully, and here are a few moments from the night โœจ

Please join us in congratulating Toshiba Morgan-Joseph, BS, PharmD, BCPPS, on successfully completing her term as Director of Membership with the New York State Council of Health-System Pharmacists (NYSCHP).

Dr. Morgan-Josephโ€™s leadership journey reflects both vision and impact. At the Westchester County Society of Health-System Pharmacists (WCSHP), she served as Past President and introduced initiatives that helped shape the chapterโ€™s identity and culture. She brought forward the idea of a large-scale social event, which became one of the first chapter-led gala-style gatherings within NYSCHP. This later expanded to the state level and continues to be a successful and anticipated tradition. She also championed the introduction of WCSHP-branded member merchandise, helping foster a sense of pride, connection, and visibility within the chapter. We have since continued to build on that foundation.

At the state level, as Director of the Membership Committee, Toshiba continued to strengthen engagement and connection across NYSCHP, reinforcing the importance of community in our profession.

Her trajectory is a powerful reminder of what is possible through service. Leadership like hers at the local level can evolve into broader opportunities at the state and even national level. It is through these collective efforts that we continue to advocate for our profession, strengthen our network, and create meaningful experiences year after year.

As we celebrate Dr. Morgan-Joseph, we also recognize the continuum of leaders before us, alongside us, and those who will follow. This is how we sustain and grow our organization.

We invite and encourage all members to get involved, volunteer, and explore their own leadership path. You never know where it may lead, but it always starts with showing up!!!

July 15, 2025: A QuadSquad Summer

North, South, East, West
different chapters, same purpose.
QuadSquad 2.0 - 4.0 gathered on a summer night to connect, collaborate, and build forward.

WCSHP (North), NYCSHP (West), LISHP (East), and Royals (South):
mapped in a four directional geographic cross, reflected in the Quad logo, circa 2023, brought to life by WCSHPโ€™s own social media chair, aka โ€œSocial Media Queenโ€.
A design that represents not just where we are, but how we are connected.

What we are building is not just collaboration
it is continuity, community, and a legacy that will keep evolving long after us ๐Ÿฉถโ™ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿฉถโ™ฅ๏ธ

It takes a village (and a lot of multitasking) ๐Ÿ’›
This month, ours showed up!

A masterful event:
Industry partners. Residency programs. Residents. And a donation drive on top of it all? Of course we did! ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

WCSHP members, led by Dr. Charnicia Huggins, Chair of the Community Service Committee, came together to support The Sharing Shelf through a powerful collection drive during the 2026 WCSHP Residency Symposium.

From thousands of period products to baby essentials, every item represents care, dignity, and compassion for the families we serve.

Moments like this remind us
When a community comes together, we donโ€™t just give. We uplift. We support. We create lasting impact.

Curious how to help?
Visit The Sharing Shelfโ€™s website (link: https://sharingshelf.org/get-involved/volunteer-in-the-community/ ) to learn how you can contribute, volunteer, or partner. Every action, big or small, helps reach one more child.

We donโ€™t just show up. We show up for each other ๐Ÿ’›
