Exciting things are happening at ACPHS and we want you to be the first to know!
This past month, the College was awarded a grant from the Dormitory Authority of New York State (DASNY) for $335,000 to help fund the construction of three new "Active Learning" classrooms in the Holland Building.
As one of the four priorities of the Beyond Practice Readycampaign, the Active Learning classrooms will blend technology with an interactive room design in a combination that has been proven effective in developing students' problem solving, communication, and critical thinking skills.

Where are they now?
Alumnus and member of the ACPHS Class of 2013,
Hitesh Patel, keeps a $1 bill in his pocket separate from the others.
"It reminds me of who we are and who I am, and it stays with me because of that," he said.
Patel and his partner, Peter Pogany are the new owners of the
Farmingdale Pharmacy, which reopened on February 15 after its sudden closure a year ago. Patel earned that special dollar as a tip after delivering medication to a Farmingdale Pharmacy customer from Plainfield.
The customer was without a pharmacy after Farmingdale Pharmacy close.
This is the fourth pharmacy that Patel and Pogany have opened! For the complete story and more information on Pate's latest venture, visit acphs.edu.
