Dispense Times Magazine

Dispense Times Magazine Dispense Times is the voice of independent pharmacy. APPA is made up of a group of dedicated and experienced professionals in the pharmacy purchasing industry.

We connect owners, innovators, and vendors through stories, strategies, and solutions that strengthen local pharmacies and celebrate the people behind the counter. Welcome to the American Pharmacy Purchasing Alliance (APPA), the leading association for independent pharmacy owners. Our decades of experience enable us to provide members of the association excellent services and valuable information.

Our mission is to:
• Meet the discerning needs of pharmacy buyers
• Create networking opportunities for participants
• Educate and provide industry-related information
• Enhance knowledge of pharmacy buyers through educational opportunities and events
• Simplify the process needed to complete certain transactions
• Promote the role of pharmacy purchasing in total patient care
• Provide a unified voice for the members of the association
Our vision is to bring together all entities that play a vital role in the pharmacy purchasing industry for the common cause of improving the industry, protecting all parties involved by understanding new legislation, adopting new technologies to streamline processes and increase productivity and creating an environment where valuable knowledge and information are shared. The members of APPA consist of independent pharmacy owners, pharmacists, and student pharmacists.
