Michigan's AmeriCorps Site Supervisor of the Month
Site Supervisor of the Month – March 2025: Parker Liu-Cherry Health
In addition to being the Pharmacy Manager at Cherry Health West Side, Parker Liu is also an AmeriCorps site supervisor for the Cherry Health AmeriCorps members. Cherry Health AmeriCorps aims to improve health care access for underserved populations to decrease health disparities and close gaps in health care.
Before coming to Cherry Health, Liu received a Doctor of Pharmacy from Ferris State University and was a Pharmacy Manager at Walgreens for 8 years. Liu came to Cherry Health because it provided “an opportunity to partner with primary care providers to optimize their patients’ medication therapy as well as address other needs that I can assist with,” Liu continues, “I find joy in working with all of our patients from all different walks of life; helping them reach their goals and take control of their health keeps me coming back every day.”
As an AmeriCorps site supervisor, Liu is responsible for the training, oversight, and professional guidance to members serving at the pharmacy. Current AmeriCorps member and fellow pharmacist, Karen Noreen states, “Parker exemplifies the core values of the AmeriCorps mission and fosters an environment of growth, collaboration, and development.”
Liu is new to being a site supervisor and is already able to create open lines of communication, fostering trust and respect from the members at his site. Noreen states that Liu’s supervision has allowed her to share challenges and seek assistance in her service, allowing her to feel valued and supported.
“Parker fully embraces and champions the mission of AmeriCorps, demonstrating a deep commitment to community service and volunteerism in the many ways he serves his community and his motivation for providing the best experience to his patients,” Noreen states. “Parker is an outstanding Site Supervisor who embodies the principles of the AmeriCorps program.”
