Read the results of the voting in the September issue of PPO
And online here by the end of July

We are pleased to announce that Acute Care Pharmaceuticals has agreed to again sponsor the next Outstanding Pharmacy Buyer Award. This is the 5th straight year that Acute Care Pharmaceuticals has agreed to fund this award program for Pharmacy Purchasing Outlook.

Those considered for the program will each have a chance to achieve one of the following distinctions (note that this year, the award prizes have changed slightly).

First Place: $1,000 education/travel grant.
Second Place: $500 education/travel grant.
Third Place: $200 education/travel grant.

The nominee must have a current PPO subscription active at their facility to be considered. Subscribers may nominate themselves or be nominated by a supervisor or colleague. Please note that the previous year’s winners of 1st and 2nd place, will not be able to qualify this year.

Completed nominations from now until May 31, will be printed in the March through June 2008 editions of PPO. The winners will be determined by an independent panel, and announced in the July-August edition.

We extend our appreciation to Acute Care Pharmaceuticals for agreeing to keep this important program of recognition and help for your education and travel fund active for all our PPO subscribers.
