New NCPA ceo
October 26, 2010
THE National Community
Pharmacists Association in the USA
has announced the appointment of
Kathleen Jaeger as its new vice
president and chief executive officer.
The new role was made public
during the NCPA’s 112th annual
convention last weekend, with the
organisation representing more
than 22,700 independent
community pharmacies, pharmacy
franchises and chains.
Jaeger has significant expertise in
pharmacy, having served as
president and ceo of the Generic
Pharmaceutical Association in the
US between 2002 and 2010.
A pharmacist herself, Jaeger said
she was “absolutely honoured to
join NCPA and represent independent
community pharmacists and the
patients we care for each day.
“Millions of Americans depend on
community pharmacists for quality
medicines and expert counselling to
feel better and lead more
productive lives,” she added, with
community pharmacies delivering
critical care while also substantially
reducing overall health costs.
