In October, about 350 pediatric pharmacists will gather at the Renaissance Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland to advance their training and skills for delivering safe and effective medications to children.

Keynote Speaker: Sorrel King

On February 22, 2001, eighteen-month old Josie King died from medical errors.

98,000 people die every year from medical errors, making it the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.

The Josie King Foundation’s mission is to prevent others from dying or being harmed by medical errors. By uniting healthcare providers and consumers, and funding innovative safety programs, we hope to create a culture of patient safety, together.

Silent Auction Challenge

PPAG would like to challenge it members to pull together and donate to the silent auction a themed basket or box. Get together with others in your institution or region to put together a basket of items that are unique to your city/state/region to share a "taste" of your home. If you would prefer, choose another theme such as a coffee basket, chocolate basket or children's book basket. It does not have to be big or tall or even in a basket. There will be awards given for the most creative as well as the basket which goes for the highest bid! Start thinking and get creative!
