The premier event in the pharmacy world is here! The San Diego Convention Center is pulsing with positive energy and enthusiasm generated by thousands of pharmacists from across the country who have showed up in record numbers to celebrate our profession at APhA2015. It gives me great pride to see so many people come together to advance our profession—from student pharmacists to seasoned practitioners.

The theme of APhA2015 is “Advancing as One.” This year we are especially energized about progress on all fronts to get pharmacists on the team and in the game. Our two provider status bills (H.R. 592 and S. 314) are gaining momentum, and you’ll hear a lot about them during APhA2015.

Are you in the game with us? I encourage you to visit the APhA Advocacy booth and the Pharmacists Provide Care booth for more information about provider status. We’ll have a video camera set up, so get your story ready! Stop by, tell your patient care story, and we’ll post it to YouTube and use it in future advocacy materials.

I guarantee that APhA2015 has something for everyone. Here you can experience comprehensive programming, captivating speakers, professional networking opportunities, and see firsthand the unity we’ve created among members of the profession.

Enjoy the show!
