Health System Pharmacy Executive Alliance

The Health Systems Pharmacy Executive Alliance is a collaboration of well-known leaders who are dedicated to advancing hospital pharmacy’s contributions to patient safety, clinical quality, and financial performance through increased effectiveness and efficiencies.

The Executive Alliance's vision is the advancement of the High Performance PharmacySM – a concept that enhances and elevates the profession of health system pharmacy, as well as its practice and standing, within healthcare today and in the future.

Active since 1998, the Executive Alliance maintains a strong and prestigious membership that has included ASHP past presidents and other pharmacy organization officers. McKesson is proud to sponsor this energetic group. The Executive Alliance, as a body, operates independently from McKesson and takes responsibility for the public positions and publications it issues.
