Cumberland Hospital for Children and Adolescents

In honor of #NationalPharmacistsDay, we'd like to take a moment to recognize our Director of Pharmacy, Dan Salehi, PharmD, MBA. When asked about the significance of his role and the pharmacy at Cumberland, here's what Dan had to say. "Our primary focus in the pharmacy is facilitating the safe use of medications to ensure optimal patient outcomes. We verify all medication orders to make sure the patient is receiving the appropriate dose based on their medication history, age, weight and diet. We look for potential drug interactions as well as side effects the medications may cause. We provide the medications to our nurses, ensuring they are able to administer the correct medication for each patient. I feel truly blessed to be part of a team that works so hard to help these kids in need. I enjoy being able to work with the various departments of the hospital, all of whom are so passionate about what they do. My children are a similar age to many of our patients, so the positive impact we make really hits home for me."

Dan has been with Cumberland since 2011 working part-time and prn, in August 2022, we welcomed Dan onboard, full time. Thank you, Dan, for your dedication to ensuring our patients are in good hands and for the contributions that our pharmacy provides both the patients and staff at Cumberland. ... See MoreSee Less
