We would like to once again congratulate all our MPA award winners at ! The celebration culminated on April 18 with the presentation of the 2026 Pharmacist of the Year, which was awarded to Hae Mi Choe, and presented to her husband, Yong, at the President's Reception. Hae Mi, who sadly passed away in 2025 after a battle with leukemia, was also a two-time winner of the Excellence in Innovation Award and MPA was proud to announce the renaming of the award in her honor at ACE.

We were also moved by Sara Brown's acceptance of the Distinguished Young Pharmacist Award, presented by our friends at Pharmacists Mutual Insurance Group. Sara suffered a life-altering stroke in January 2025 and was able to walk on stage to accept her award at ACE a little more than a year later.

Congratulations again to all our deserving awardees!
