Advocacy
USE YOUR VOICE!
Pharmacy is not what it was. Big corp has gobbled up so much, and now hoards all the resources. Profits and greed drive most business decisions in the profession. The result is burnt-out professionals trying to survive while the rest of the public is oblivious to the highway robbery of their paychecks and insurance premiums.
We know better. We want the world to know, too.
Our mission is to bring national attention to corporations’ unsafe, unethical, and greedy business decisions that are bleeding the profession and nation dry. Our advocacy efforts will include partnering with the national and state pharmacy associations, recruiting support, engaging boards of pharmacy and legislators, and collaborating with corporations.
