Welcome to the new Pharmacists Public Health Initiatives Pharmacists Planning Service, Inc. (PPSI) is Now Pharmacists Public Health Initiatives | PPHI Where We Came From We started over 50 years ago as the vision of one man, Fred Mayer, to use his education and training as a pharmacist to reshape community around him through advocacy, outreach, and sheer personality. In 2018, Fred, a long-time Fellow of the American College of Apothecaries (ACA), decided to partner with the ACA Research and Education Foundation to continue his mission. 2020 and Beyond Now more than ever, we want to emphasize the important role pharmacists play in keeping their communities safe. Our goal was to select a new name and visual identity that would clearly convey our focus on furthering the public health role of the pharmacist. In February 2020, the ACA Foundation Board, with the approval of the family of Fred Mayer, approved a name change for PPSI. Our new name: Pharmacists Public Health Initiatives (PPHI) demonstrates our commitment to working with pharmacists, organizations, and other healthcare providers to improve the health of the world around us.
