Mission Statement
The Dade County Pharmacy Association (DCPA) is a local unit of the Florida Pharmacy
Association, the largest and oldest state-wide organization representing the profession of
pharmacy in Florida.

The mission of pharmacy is to serve society as the profession responsible for the appropriate use
of medications, devices and services to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

In pursuit of that mission, DCPA:

  • advocates the interests of pharmacists in Miami-Dade County;

  • represents members on issues of economics, political action and public relations of interest
    to pharmacy;

  • promotes, supports and provides education for the enhancement of professional,
    management and leadership development;

  • promotes the highest professional and ethical standards of practice for the delivery of
    pharmaceutical care;

  • identifies, evaluates, and responds to trends and events that impact on pharmacy and the
    health care delivery system, and

  • provides for effective communications between pharmacists, health care organizations and
    the public.

                           50/50 Raffle - a Resounding Success!
During the 14th Annual Residency Seminar, a 50/50 raffle was held each day with the proceeds going
to help in the Hatian Relief  Effort. $302 was raised on Sat. The winner of $151 donated back $50 to
the fund sending $201 to the relief effort.  On Sunday $280 was collected and the winner donated his
entire winnings back to the relief fund.  Finally Jeannette Mierisch donated another $400 to the fund
for a total of $881.  The DCPA Executive Committee then voted to match the donation!  Pharmacists'
contributions from our association were $1800.

Sister Emmanuel Hospital
matched with another $1800 for a total of $3200 used to sponsor a Surgeon
to Haiti for this week!
