A unit association of the Florida Pharmacy Association

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

Mission Statement:

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 and pharmacy technicians 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 pharmacy and the health care system, and;
Fosters effective communication between pharmacists, health care professionals, and the public to enhance the
overall quality of health care.

The Dade County Pharmacy Association is helping sponsor weekly Jazz at Jackson events starting 11/3/22 at noon in the Alamo Park at Jackson. The weekly concerts had been suspended due to COVID. The association wanted to ensure that all healthcare providers and patients were, once again, treated to the healing power of music.

If you work in the medical center, please make sure to let the organizers know that you have contributed to these events as members of the association.
