Mission Statement
The Mission of Pharmacy is to serve society as the profession responsible for the appropriate use of medications, devices and related services in achieving optimal therapeutic outcomes. Besides providing high quality pharmaceutical services that foster the efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness of drug use, our profession contributes to programs and services that emphasize the health needs of the public and the prevention of disease as an essential component of the health-care team.
The New York State Council of Health-system Pharmacists Research and Education Foundation (NYSCHP REF) was incorporated as a public foundation in 1982 to serve three basic functions:
- To promote the public welfare through development of quality pharmaceutical services in hospitals and other organized health care settings.
- To encourage, provide for, and engage in scientific research, professional study, and advancement of science of hospital and institutional pharmacy.
- To improve the quality and increase the availability of hospital and institutional pharmaceutical services to the public.
