November/December 2023

Previewing ASHP Midyear 2023 & The Possibilities for 2024.

Imagine the possibilities, it's easy if you try.

For many of us, ASHP Midyear is the last big event before we settle in for the winter, reflecting on the year that was, and preparing for what's ahead. 2023 certainly has thrown us its fair share of curveballs. But as this year's conference theme suggests, when pharmacy teams are involved, the possibilities are truly endless.

Let's explore your health system's possibilities together in Anaheim. Here's where you can find us:
