ICHP Position Statement - Political Candidate Endorsement

The Illinois Council of Health-System Pharmacists (ICHP) does not endorse political candidates for election. However, the ICHP Pharmacy Action Fund (an Illinois registered political action committee) does financially support candidates for Illinois office who champion the advancement of pharmacy practice and the improvement of patient care by pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.

ICHP does encourage the active individual participation of its members in political campaigns and other political activities that facilitate the improved delivery of health care and further implementation of pharmacy-related patient care services.
