This dynamic partnership reflects a shared vision: a stronger, more unified voice advocating for pharmacists, pharmacies, and patients across the state. With growing challenges and opportunities in the pharmacy landscape, TPA’s and APRx’s unique strengths will more effectively influence policy, support practice innovation, and equip members for success.

By aligning our efforts, we’re doubling down on our shared mission: to protect the future of pharmacy, amplify the pharmacist’s voice, and deliver better care for every Texan. We’re done playing defense. This is about driving change, together.”


Both organizations are enthusiastic about the opportunity to work together for the benefit of their respective members.


“American Pharmacies is proud to be entering a new chapter of collaboration with TPA,” said Laird Leavoy, President of American Pharmacies. “We are stronger together, and this renewed partnership opens the door to exciting opportunities for the future of pharmacy in Texas.”


APRx Board Chairman Steve Hoffart, PharmD, reinforced this message: “This alliance deepens our ability to advocate, educate, and lead on behalf of all Texas pharmacists. Together with TPA, we are poised to make an even greater impact.”
