                       Tuesday, February 2, 2016

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Joe Moose for his 
selection as the National Community Pharmacists Association's (NCPA) 
2015 Willard B. Simmons Independent Pharmacist of the Year. Dr. Moose 
and his family have been providing top of the line care to residents of 
the state of North Carolina for four generations, and this most recent 
honor illustrates yet again the profound impact he has had on our 
community.
  Since receiving his Doctorate of Pharmacy from Campbell University's 
College of Pharmacy and Health Science, Dr. Moose has dedicated himself 
to providing the best care possible for his patients while also 
focusing on helping future generations of pharmacists. Dr. Moose 
currently serves as the primary instructor at the University of North 
Carolina's Eshelman School of Pharmacy's Community Pharmacy Residency 
Program, while also volunteering his time to instruct future 
pharmaceutical students at his alma mater, Campbell University, as well 
as Wingate University's School of Pharmacy.
  Dr. Moose also serves on multiple committees and boards for the state 
of North Carolina, including the Medicaid Pharmacy and Therapeutics 
Committee as well as co-chairing the Medicaid Drug Regimen Review 
Board. As a result of his tireless efforts, Dr. Moose has been the 
recipient of multiple awards and honors, with his latest being the 
NCPA's 2015 Willard B. Simmons Independent Pharmacist of the Year. This 
award, according to the NCPA, recognizes an independent pharmacist for 
exemplary leadership and commitment to independent pharmacy and to 
their community. Dr. Moose received this award at the NCPA 2015 Annual 
Convention on October 11, 2015.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Dr. Joe Moose for 
receiving this prestigious distinction, and wishing him and his family 
well as they continue to serve the people of North Carolina with high-
quality care and exceptional customer service.
