Thank you to the KPhA members who attended the Special Committee on Pharmaceutical Studies, with a special thank you to Matt Morrison, Brian Caswell, and Mike Burns for providing powerful testimony asking for meaningful PBM reform in the 2026 legislative session. Thank you also to our KPhA Government Affairs Committee, the KPhA GAC Communications sub-committee, and every single member who reach out to the legislators serving on the committee.

It takes a village to make change and we're grateful for our incredible members for making it happen!
