While at ONU, Larry J. Merlo, president and chief executive officer of CVS Health, said, "As change accelerates in health care, pharmacy can drive important solutions in the areas of cost, quality and access."
"In fact, I believe we are witnessing the beginning of a reinvention of pharmacy that will help drive more affordable, accessible and effective care," he said while delivering the Sebok lecture on campus.
At the conclusion of the talk, Merlo, along with Hanley Wheeler, an ONU graduate and CVS Health senior vice president, presented the College of Pharmacy with a corporate grant of $50,000.

It’s official: Easter House Bed and Breakfast, 508 N. Main St., is the 2017 Ada Area Chamber of Commerce’s business of the year.
David Dellifield, chamber president, made the announcement at the Feb. 15 chamber annual dinner in McIntosh Center.
Accepting the award were owners Mark Hilan and Amy Eddings.
The business is barely one year old, yet the owners have proven worthy of the award through several efforts to promote Ada through their business and being a driving force to launch the Made in Ada Wilson Football Festival.

Meri Skilliter, new Ada school superintendent, talked with members of the Ada Kiwanis Club earlier this week. She joined Ada schools on Jan. 1.
Skilliter told members about the “Every Student Succeeds Act.” In 2015 President Obama signed the Every Student Succeeds Act (or ESSA), an overhaul of federal education law.
Skilliter said, that passed with bipartisan support, ESSA represents a shift from broad federal oversight of primary and secondary education to greater flexibility and decision making at the state and local levels. The law replaces the No Child Left Behind Act.
