President's Message from Christina Stafford, PharmD, BCPS

“Here comes the sun, and I say, it’s alright.”- The Beatles

“Spring is nature’s way of saying ‘Let’s party!’”- Robin Williams

“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”- Lady Bird Johnson

Happy Spring!!  What an amazing time of year (allergies and antihistamines aside)! As I write this, it’s been two years to the day since Missouri announced its first case of COVID-19. Spring is a time of new beginnings, and I am so ready for that to happen!

With Spring also comes our busiest time of year. As a reminder, Legislative Day will be in person this year on April 6^th in Jefferson City. This is the chance for members of MSHP to collaborate with members of MPA in speaking with our state legislators about issues affecting the pharmacy profession. Our Spring Meeting with KCHP will be held virtually the last week of April. There are plenty of opportunities for pre-recorded CE throughout the week and live CE on Saturday. I would like to give a shout out and a thank you to all the session and poster presenters, everyone that voted for our incoming Board and everyone that nominated a colleague for an award. A super special thanks to our Spring Meeting Planning Committee for all their hard work preparing for this meeting.

I will again ask you to be on the lookout for opportunities to get more involved with MSHP through committee and board memberships. It takes a small army of willing volunteers to keep this organization successful. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any current board members if you have any interest or questions.

Cheers!

Christina Stafford, PharmD, BCPS
MSHP President
