Her work has been instrumental in elevating pediatric pharmacy from a niche specialty to a core component of hospital accreditation and quality improvement. For students and researchers, Meyers exemplifies how rigorous guideline development can translate into measurable improvements in patient outcomes, making her a pivotal figure in the ongoing effort to ensure that children receive the same level of pharmaceutical care as adults.
