What is the HRSA Pharmacy Services Support Center ?
The HRSA Pharmacy Services Support Center ( PSSC ) at APhA was established by a contract between the federal government and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) to provide information, education, and technical assistance to help eligible health care entities and pharmacists optimize the value of the 340B program in order to provide affordable, comprehensive pharmacy services that improve medication use and advance patient care and patient access to affordable drugs. PSSC works directly with the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA), which is contained within HRSA’s Healthcare Systems Bureau, to increase access to clinically and cost effective pharmacy services for the uninsured and underinsured. Pharmacist Jimmy Mitchell leads the program activities.
