LeAnne Witt, CPhT is a 340b Coordinator for Mercy Hospital. I have held a CPhT since 2010. I love the challenges and seeing the rewards of the Pharmacy Department. Each day is different in the administrative roles I have held; from being a buyer to my current 340b coordinator position., I know I am helping my facilities stretch their medication budgets, which helps them to continue to provide health services to the community. I have worked with students and residents during their administrative rotations, explaining what happens on the back side before the medications arrives in the pharmacy. I served on the Advisory Board for the National Pharmacy Purchasing Association 2010-2016, with the goal to promote pharmacy buyers to be active in their departments and pharmacy purchasing as a profession not just a job. I presented at numerous conferences and wrote several articles during this time. I have been an MSHP member since 2008 - presenting at several Spring Meetings. I was Technician Liaison for MSHP in 2017. I look forward to seeing the pharmacy technician field expanded within the pharmacy profession. More technicians should be encouraged to join MSHP and their local affiliates. I truly believe there are a multitude of opportunities for pharmacy technicians with more mentors and education opportunities are available. When not at work: I love photography, reading, and spending time working on our family farm.

Legislative Day Updates:
Pharmacy Legislative Day was held in Jefferson City on March 27, 2019. This event was hosted by MPA and was huge success. Hundreds of pharmacists from around the state, as well as hundreds of student pharmacists from both St. Louis College of Pharmacy and University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy gathered in Jefferson City. The morning sessions were powerful and included updates from Governor Parsons, the Missouri Board of Pharmacy, as well as a powerful and emotional testimony from a patient advocate and mother to a son who was adversely impacted by lack of temperature control on medications delivered through mail order services.
