Our Vision

TPA is the preeminent organization that unifies, strengthens, and protects the profession of pharmacy in Texas.

Our Mission

Elevate the profession and advance the practice of pharmacy to care for patients.

History

In May 1879, 18 pharmacists met in the back room of a Dallas drug store and formed the Texas State Pharmaceutical Association. Their goal was simple: to improve the quality of drugs and pharmaceutical services in Texas. Now known as the Texas Pharmacy Association, we have been the leading advocate for all pharmacists and the pharmacy profession in Texas ever since.

Today

TPA serves members practicing in all areas of pharmacy, including community, hospitals, long-term care facilities, education, manufacturing and distribution. TPA is an effective and strong voice for all Texas pharmacy professionals in advocacy, continuing education and practice innovation by empowering today’s pharmacists to be effective health care advisors.
