The mission of the Alaska Pharmacy Association is to preserve, promote and lead the profession of pharmacy in Alaska.

Whether you are from Southeast, Southcentral or the Interior, members of the Board comprise each region to ensure equal representation. AkPhA was founded in 1956 when the state was still a territory. Although the American Pharmaceutical Association recognized the association in 1957, it fell dormant for a number of years and reemerged in 1966. Since that time, AkPhA has held annual conventions in Anchorage traditionally around the Fur Rendezvous celebration.

Behind every prescription filled in Alaska is a pharmacy technician making it happen. 📦 In a state where shipments arrive by air and patients may travel hours for care, techs keep inventory stocked, workflows moving, and patients supported. Thank you for everything you do!
