Welcome
Community Pharmacies of Indiana, Inc., ("CPI") was established in
1993 after a group of pharmacy owners met to discuss changing
prescription drug plans in the state. One of CPI's main goals as an
organization is to promote pharmacy as a profession and the role of
the community retail pharmacy in the American concept of free
enterprise by maintaining freedom of choice of pharmacy to all
citizens of the state.
In addition, we have maintained vigilance
in the administrative, legislative, and government affairs affecting
the practice of retail pharmacy in the interest of the public
welfare and to assure professional control of the pharmacy by
pharmacists. To do all of this, CPI works closely with the Indiana
General Assembly to ensure that the remaining community pharmacies
in Indiana survive and thrive. We are the voice of community
pharmacies in Indiana.
