Alaska Pharmacy Association - AKPhA

Alaska Pharmacy Association - AKPhA The mission of the Alaska Pharmacy Association is to preserve, promote and lead the profession of pharmacy in Alaska.

Whether you are from Southeast, Southcentral or the Interior, members of the Board comprise each region to ensure equal representation. AkPhA was founded in 1956 when the state was still a territory. Although the American Pharmaceutical Association recognized the association in 1957, it fell dormant for a number of years and reemerged in 1966. Since that time, AkPhA has held annual conventions in Anchorage traditionally around the Fur Rendezvous celebration.

🌟 Spotlight: Lillian Okpaleke 🌟

We’re proud to highlight Lillian’s dedication to rural care, community support, and the future of pharmacy in Alaska.

“I am truly passionate about Rural Health and Pharmacy as well as the people of Alaska. Alaskans are truly about community and the Pharmacy runs the same way. We take care of each other and our patients while supporting the passions of our young technicians. We support them in their desires to become future Pharmacists as well as their aspirations to give back so much more in their communities. We are truly connected by our experiences and our impact is felt more within our communities ex. Bringing medications directly to Typhoon Halong evacuees in shelters, working hand in hand with ANMC to support transition of care, starting rotations for Pharmacy students at YKHC. I am truly honored to work at YKHC and live in Alaska to help grow our Pharmacy impact in the Yukon- Kuskokwim Delta Region. We are one ALASKA!"

❄️ In Alaska, winter shows up early and stays awhile, which means staying ahead of the flu is more important than ever. During National Influenza Vaccination Week, pharmacists across the state are helping communities stay strong and healthy. Your local pharmacist is a vital point of care that keeps Alaska moving through the long season.

💡 Tip for Alaskans:
Headed out on winter travel or flying between communities? Ask your pharmacist about the best timing for your flu shot before trips. A little planning makes it easier to avoid being sick when you’re far from home.

Stay protected, Alaska.
