From the Alabama Pharmacy Association’s press release:
The Excellence in Innovation Award is a national award coordinated by the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations to honor a pharmacist who has demonstrated significant innovation in their practice, method or service directly or indirectly resulting in improved patient care and/or advancement of the profession of pharmacy.
Watson is a 2019 graduate of Auburn University Harrison College of Pharmacy and is founder and CEO of Oakley Wellness. She provides an innovative service committed to optimizing brain health and educating patients on various health issues including Alzheimer’s and the wave of brain-related issues
that have skyrocketed in the past few decades. Watson specializes in functional medicine and is the 15th pharmacist worldwide to become “Institute for Functional Medicine Certified”. Her efforts, both through her practice and through sharing brain health information in her blog posts and online platforms are a perfect example of how pharmacy can reach well beyond the walls of a building.
“We are proud to recognize Dr. Watson for her remarkable contributions,” said Louise Jones, APA chief
executive officer. “Her willingness to push the boundaries to inform patients and caregivers has resulted in better care for her community.”
