| Pharmacist - The Medicine Shoppe - Lewiston, ME |
MILWAUKEE - (MPA LLC) - We must REACH-OUT daily and find those with similar engagement and like-mind. Today, we recognize the National Community Pharmacists Association/NCPA for their independent community focus.
NCPA's Mission
- We are dedicated to the continuing growth and prosperity of independent community pharmacy in the United States.
- We are the national pharmacy association representing the professional and proprietary interests of independent community pharmacists and will vigorously promote and defend those interests.
- We are committed to high-quality pharmacist care and to restoring, maintaining, and promoting the health and well-being of the public we serve.
- We believe in the inherent virtues of the American free enterprise system and will do all we can to ensure the ability of independent community pharmacists to compete in a free and fair marketplace.
- We value the right to petition the appropriate legislative and regulatory bodies to serve the needs of those we represent.
- We will utilize our resources to achieve these ends in an ethical and socially responsible manner.
Although many states are considering
shifting their Medicaid populations into managed care, NCPA cautions
that such a dramatic shift is not necessarily a "cure-all" and that in
some cases, could result in reduced beneficiary access to services and
disruptions in care.
