Informational Hearing Postponed

Due to an unexpected scheduling change related to California's state budget crisis, we have just learned that the informational hearing with the California Assembly Committe on Labor and Employment scheduled for this Friday, February 6, has been postponed. The full letter from the state assembly is above - we truly regret any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Assemblymember Swanson remains committed to holding a hearing on this very important issue, and we are working with the Committee to reschedule the hearing as quickly as possible. We will be sure to inform you of the rescheduled date once it is confirmed.

In the mean time, tell us what issues you think need discussion. What problems do you see with today's retail pharmacy industry? How can we improve pharmacists' role in patient care? Use the comments below to voice your opinion - we will incorporate your points into our continuing work.

Meet Ray F.

My name is Ray Funatsu and I've been a pharmacist since 1963. In '74 I started working as a manager with Sav-on until '94; that's when I stepped down because it got to be a little too much. I worked until 2000 and retired and now I'm on-call.
