This is not the March Madness I was expecting!
First of all, I would like to personally thank all of you on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether you are a pharmacist or technician procuring and preparing vital medications, a clinical pharmacist helping to guide therapy, or a manager working to keep the supply line open and employees safe, I am honored to work beside you as we prepare for the unknown. I pray that we have had ample time to address this historic event in our state.
At the KCHP spring meeting last year, I spoke on the differences between being transactional or transformational. If you missed it, you can

KCHP has taken many transformational steps in the last year and continue to do so during this time in history. We had started offering virtual journal club events and this will be transformed into our first ever virtual KCHP Spring Meeting scheduled for May 1-2, 2020. We have been working tirelessly, and are confident that we will be able to provide a high-quality event for our members.
I want to ensure you that KCHP has been in regular contact with KDHE, KPhA, the Kansas Board of Pharmacy and other stakeholders during the COVID-10 pandemic to assist wherever possible.
Starting this week on
Tuesday, March 31 @ 3pm
, we are going to hold our first weekly COVID-19 conference call. This will be open to all members to call in and share information about operational, scheduling, and clinical strategies along with learning lessons from the field.
