In a recent blog, I thanked our Government Affairs staff and those of other pharmacy organizations for sticking together to achieve success in the health care reform process. In addition, lots of others deserve thanks and recognition for their efforts during this important time in pharmacy history.

Heroes this past year include our members who served as volunteers and advocates on our Government Affairs Committee and Key Contact Network, or those who were active in our grassroots-lobbying initiatives. Every pharmacist in America owes a debt of gratitude to their colleagues who cared enough to contact their Members of Congress.

Let's keep up the momentum and the unity! We still have a long way to go, but we're off to a great start on redefining pharmacy's future.
