Resources
The Allegheny County Pharmacists Association (ACPA) was originally founded in 1937 as the Allegheny County
Retail Druggist’s Association. Dinner programs are held every couple months, are open to all members, and usually feature an informative presentation or CE. Of particular note is the Annual President’s Dinner held in June of each year – it is during this event that a new Board of Directors is installed and the annual yearbook is unveiled. ACPA also offers annual scholarships to one student from each area School of Pharmacy – University of Pittsburgh and Duquesne University.
ACPA was the first county or regional association to officially affiliate with PPA!
Senator Wayne Fontana joins ACPA for their annual professional meeting at Duquesne University. The Senator spoke to students about issues facing the pharmacy and healthcare industry and took questions.
