Essential Hospitals Applaud Selection of New OPA Director

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement attributable to:
Beth Feldpush, DrPH
Senior Vice President of Policy and Advocacy
America’s Essential Hospitals

WASHINGTON — We congratulate Emeka Egwim, PharmD, for his selection as director of the Office of Pharmacy Affairs (OPA), in the Health Resources and Services Administration.

Egwim brings extensive experience to the position and a background that includes association member Howard University, where he earned his doctorate in 2011 from the school’s College of Pharmacy. His work on the 340B Drug Pricing Program, as well as with the Patient Safety and Clinical Pharmacy Services Collaborative, to improve the quality of care and address costs for patients with complex conditions makes him ideally suited to his new role.

We look forward to working with Egwim to protect the access to affordable drugs the 340B program creates for low-income patients, including through pharmacies that contract with hospitals. These pharmacies extend the reach of the program and help marginalized patients overcome transportation and other barriers to care. We offer our support to OPA to resist the pharmaceutical industry’s attempts to undermine these important relationships.
