On behalf of The Pennsylvania Society of Health System Pharmacists, I would like to invite you to attend our 45th Annual Assembly in Erie, PA from October 23 -25, 2013. This year’s theme “Don’t Give UP the SHiP” was chosen because our host city, Erie, will celebrate the Bicentennial of the Battle of Lake Erie.

Over the past few years, PSHP has endured its own battle and similar to other difficult situations, PSHP has stabilized and prevailed to claim victory. We look forward to sharing our annual review with you at the meeting and look forward to many years of ongoing prosperity.

At this year’s meeting, we will be featuring two renowned keynote speakers. Gerald Meyer, ASHP President and John Ferretti, President of LECOM. This year’s Annual Assembly programming brings back the ever popular roundtable discussions with talented content experts from our state. The meeting will also present interesting topics including a discussion on Biosimilars and strengthening preceptor skills as well as offering over 13 hours of continuing education credits. In addition, you will have the opportunity to network with key health-system pharmacy leaders, old friends, potential employers, industry thought leaders, student and resident leaders, innovative technicians, and colleagues from various corners of the profession as well as meet with industry exhibitors in a relaxed trade show and celebrate achievements of “PSHP’s Best” at the Awards Program.

In the Words of Samuel Smiles: “The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.”

I look forward to seeing you all in Erie so you can come out and help us celebrate the success and achievement of PSHP this year.

Sincerely, Nishaminy Kasbekar, BS, PharmD, FASHP PSHP President
