IRVING, Texas — McKesson has launched McKesson Amplify, a strategic initiative intended to help protect critical pharmacy services and elevate the pharmacy profession by strengthening the voice of the industry, it says. Through McKesson Amplify, the company has committed to awarding dedicated funding to eligible state pharmacy associations across all 50 states to help meet association advocacy goals. “We believe pharmacists’ voices are one of the most important in the conversation,” said Jeanine Singer, senior vice president, national and key accounts & field sales, McKesson. “But a single voice can only be heard from so far. Recognizing that advocacy and pharmacy practice transformation happens locally, we created McKesson Amplify to collectively raise the profession and turn up the volume in support of independent community pharmacy across the nation.” To determine funding awards, McKesson reviewed applications from state pharmacy associations, which detailed activation ideas and goals, including advocacy and lobbying, events, membership drives, professional development and training, and communications, technology and digital platforms. Beyond funding, McKesson Amplify will also provide resources, strategic support and other tools to help state pharmacy associations achieve their local and state advocacy goals in 2025.
