Jane Boggess Advancement of Pharmacy Practice Award

This award recognizes an individual or organization that has significantly contributed to the broad adoption of one or more non-traditional pharmacy services which improve public health.  For 2009, the Pharmacy Foundation of California is specifically soliciting nominations for groups or individuals who have significantly contributed to improving the quality and consistency of pharmacist-patient consultations.  The recipient will receive a complimentary registration to the Outlook 2009 pharmacy conference where they will be honored with an engraved crystal award at the Pharmacy Foundation of California’s Annual Award & Appreciation Breakfast.

This award was established in 2003 but the name was changed in 2004 to honor the memory of the award’s first recipient, Jane Boggess, who championed the effort to enable pharmacy access to emergency contraception, and unexpectedly passed away before receiving the award.
