Meet Megan A. Corrigan
Pharmacy, to me, is rooted in pride for our workforce and in unwavering commitment to patients. In recent years, pharmacists have proven, when the world needed our expertise most, our practice advancement directly improved patient care. Even amid drug shortages, burnout, and tightening budgets, we continue to deliver creative solutions and raise the standard of care. I believe leadership in pharmacy means taking initiative—volunteering first, not waiting to be asked. From participating in medical missions to leading Emergency Management at my hospital, I have welcomed opportunities to advocate for pharmacy and demonstrate what our teams can do. That same commitment to service has guided my longstanding involvement with ASHP, contributing to section work, national dialogue, and practice advancement alongside colleagues across the country. Pharmacists are agile problem solvers, innovative, and passionate. We can marry scientific knowledge with bedside clinical judgment and improve outcomes. I believe technology should be used thoughtfully to extend our reach and standardize best practices, never to replace the human expertise and accountability patients deserve. Above all, I am committed to developing and celebrating others through mentorship, education, and sharing successes. Visibility builds trust,tyg5t’6..and trust improves care. Pharmacists should ;/be visible in every setting of healthcare. Whether in routine operations or crisis response, I aim to lead with collaboration, accountability, and service so patients know we are present, prepared, and advocating. Ultimately, our calling is simple: “we’re your pharmacist.” Serving within ASHP has been an honor, and I’m grateful to be slated on this ballot.
