MURAL SNEAK PEEK! 🖼️🎨🖌️🎉 ⭐This beautiful mural now hangs in the lobby of the new St. Vincent de Paul Social Services Building! Above St. Vinny's Willy St. at the intersection of Williamson and Baldwin Streets in Madison, the mural will welcome people into the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and Microlending program spaces. 👏🏽A huge round of applause goes to Eva Pratt, St. Vinny's Verona Assistant Store Manager, for creating this art! Additional thanks to Deborah Goedel, St. Vinny's Verona Store Manager and Leighla Baney, St. Vinny's Waunakee Assistant Store Manager, for their design collaboration. 💙The mural showcases and highlights the connection between our thrift stores and charitable programs across Dane County. Two more panels will be installed beneath the stairs. While four separate pieces of artwork, each panel flows together. When asked about the inspiration, Eva said… “The ideas were all of ours, we collaborated. We thought about the services that we, Society of St. Vincent de Paul — Madison, offer and talked about the history of our first thrift store on Williamson Street. It was interesting doing research on the store to understand our history. We went with a somewhat 1950s vibe with that section. I knew the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Program was going to be upstairs in this building, so I thought that it would be a really nice visual of the mother and children walking up to people helping them. We did some preliminary sketches, looked it over all together, and came to agreement on what looked good. After that, I went for a cleaner sketch and designed the final artwork.”

A few weeks ago, we said goodbye to Arina V. who has been interning at the St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy all summer! She shared about her experience here: ❓How long have you been with the pharmacy and what have you done? 💙I've been here since June and have helped fill prescriptions, have met new clients and have translated for patients and staff. I really enjoy this community! It was very welcoming. I’ve enjoyed meeting pharmacy students and undergraduates from University of Wisconsin-Madison; just connecting with people who work in a similar field that I want to pursue as a career. ❓What brought you to the pharmacy? 💙I was hired by this nonprofit called Maydm and they have a mission to support minorities and women by allowing the youth to explore STEM careers. Internships are one of the ways that they allow us to do this! I’ve wanted to learn more about pharmacies for a very long time and this has been very cool. ❓What's one thing that sticks out from your time here? 💙The first day I was here, I helped a Spanish-speaking client which was very rewarding. For me, it felt important because my work was needed and I felt appreciated. It's been rewarding to help people who need it especially with a language barrier. I have parents who immigrated here, so I understand the barriers. Thank you, Arina, for your work in the pharmacy these past few months! ⬇️Below, Arina stands in the pharmacy and shares her takeaways during a summer internship closing ceremony with Maydm.

Hello future pharmacists! And doctors, and nurses, and surgeons! 💉👨🏾⚕️👩🏼⚕️🩺 Earlier this month undergraduate students from the Health Professions Shadowing Program visited our pharmacy to explore careers in medicine, network with healthcare professionals, and learn about health equity. The two-week shadowing program is a combined effort between the UW-Madison Center for Pre-Health Advising and UW School of Medicine and Public Health Office of Multicultural Affairs. The stop at our pharmacy was just one of many real-life medical settings the students visited.
