"The Missouri Pharmacy Association promotes and protects the role of pharmacists as the medication expert in patient care relationships, and as an integral part of the health care team." History of MPA On September 10, 1879, four Missouri pharmacists met in the Boone County Court House in Columbia to plan for a professional organization of Missouri pharmacists. Specifically, they wanted to unite pharmacists in efforts to repeal a new law, which placed frustrating limitations on the profession of pharmacy, but they also envisioned an organization dedicated to protecting and promoting pharmacy's needs and interests in Missouri. Their challenge to all Missouri pharmacists to meet in Sedalia on October 29, 1879, many answered the challenge and became charter members of the Missouri Pharmaceutical Association (MPA). Today's Missouri Pharmacy Association The MPA is a committed group of professional pharmacists with high standards and goals. With membership, a pharmacist joins others who support the professional ideas for which pharmacy stands. In today's changing health care environment, it is critical that pharmacist voices are heard and pharmacy interests are protected, so both the profession and the public may have the best in pharmacy care and service. MPA is dedicated to provide for its members in many facets, including: Maintaining relationships with the Missouri Board of Pharmacy to protect pharmacy interests; interacting with the state legislature to maintain the best interests of our profession; providing educational activities; representing pharmacy with the news media and consumer groups; and working with the necessary pharmacy organizations on the national level. Involvement by pharmacists all over the state assures MPA's success. Should you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the Association, please contact any of the MPA staff or officers.
