About Us

A message from Denise Needham, PharmD, President

In many ways, 2023 will be remembered as the year the COVID-19 pandemic ended. And yet, as we emerged from the pandemic, we also discovered that the world around us had changed to present a new set of challenges and opportunities. We began to transform ourselves when these challenges were presented, just as we transformed ourselves to meet the challenges of the pandemic. I am confident the new version of us will emerge stronger and even better positioned to care for our community.
