Oddis Society

Through their influential gifts, donors in the Oddis Society make a tremendous impact by supporting critical ASHP priorities by funding research, leadership development, and educational initiatives that advance pharmacy practice and improve safety and health outcomes for patients.  

The Oddis Society is named for ASHP CEO Emeritus, Dr. Joseph A. Oddis, a visionary leader and a founder of the ASHP Foundation who has had a profound and lasting impact on modern clinical pharmacy, patient care, and public health.

With support from generous donors in the Oddis Society, the Foundation can continue to invest in ASHP members and the future of pharmacy by helping to fund important research and education which benefit all levels of the pharmacy profession including pharmacists, students, residents and technicians.
