Pharmacist
Children's Hospital Los Angeles
Mary Alice Gajo has worked as the CF pharmacist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) since 2014. After obtaining her Doctor of Pharmacy degree at the University of Southern California, she completed her post-graduate fellowship in pediatric pharmacy at CHLA. She developed a passion for managing CF in both inpatient and outpatient settings, participating in various research projects to improve pharmaceutical care in both areas. Through the support of the CF Foundation Pharmacy Grant, she has augmented pharmacy clinic services at CHLA and has been especially interested in identifying areas to improve and facilitate medication access. Her favorite part of working as a pediatric CF pharmacist is providing medication education and seeing her patients’ knowledge develop as they grow. When she is not designing pharmaceutical care plans for her patients, she can be found working as a freelance interior designer in the Los Angeles area.
