The University of Texas at Austin College of Pharmacy
Mission
We are dedicated to the continuing growth and prosperity of independent retail pharmacy in the United States.
We are the national pharmacy association representing the professional and proprietary interests of independent retail 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 retail 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 the those we represent. We will utilize our resources to achieve these ends in an ethical and socially responsible manner.
