ACPHS in Action

Where Education Meets Engagement

At Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, we believe that education doesn’t stop at the edge of campus. We’re committed to making a difference in the communities around us, collaborating with local schools, youth programs and community organizations through a wide range of outreach efforts, events and partnerships.

The Collaboratory

Located at 200 South Pearl Street in Albany’s South End, the Collaboratory is a hub for partnership and purpose. Created by ACPHS as a “laboratory for collaboration,” this community space brings together faculty, students and local organizations to develop programs that promote health and wellness for residents in Albany and surrounding neighborhoods.

Health & Wellness Expo

Each fall, ACPHS students host the Health & Wellness Expo, an event open to the entire community, offering free health services and resources. The day features a variety of offerings such as blood-pressure screenings, flu-shot clinics, bone-density screenings and more, all designed to support the health and well-being of our neighbors.

Community Partnerships

ACPHS students and faculty contribute to the community in various ways, including volunteer work and support for organizations such as the American Cancer Society, American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs, Make-A-Wish Foundation, March of Dimes, Meals on Wheels, National Kidney Foundation, Parsons Child and Family Center, Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, Toys for Tots and many more.
