LIPA has been providing services that benefit its membership of independent pharmacies in order to promote and advance the pharmacy community. A member-based organization, LIPA advocates on behalf of your needs, issues and concerns and is dedicated to delivering quality information designed to inform and compel. As small business entrepreneurs, independent pharmacists are dynamic, multi-dimensional health care providers who play a critical role in Louisiana's health care delivery system. With a strong foundation in its communities, they lead grass roots public health, civic, and volunteer initiatives and, as such, represent a vital resource. Short-term, the goal of pharmacies and LIPA is to ensure individual health but long-term, they are focused on improving the overall quality of health care in order to realize the best possible outcomes. http://www.lipa.org/
