An Invitation To Join The Metroplex Society of
Health-System Pharmacists
GREETINGS
On behalf of the officers and members of the Metroplex Society of
Health-System Pharmacists (MSHP), you are cordially invited to become
a part of this rapidly growing, dynamic, professional organization.
MSHP includes pharmacists, technicians, and other healthcare
professionals whose goal is to optimize pharmacy practice for
the public’s benefit. We solicit your membership and support
to further improve and expand pharmaceutical services.
Today’s environment of pharmacy presents many exciting
challenges to the practitioner. Patient oriented services
such as intravenous admixtures, medication profiles, drug
information, unit dose distribution systems, automation, and
clinical pharmacy services require a continuing commitment on
the part of the health-system pharmacist. Whether one offers
professional knowledge and skills to a 15-bed nursing home or
to the complexities of a 1000 bed integrated health system
network, the responsibility of providing the best possible
pharmaceutical services is of equal importance.
Such responsibility and commitment require the active support
on one’s professional colleagues. MSHP is the only organization
specifically directed and motivated to assist the pharmacist and
other related health care professionals in improving institutional
and health care pharmacy practice in the Metroplex. We look forward
to your active participation!
