CPESN NY Integrates Three Chapter Networks to Deliver Statewide Impact
The formation of CPESN NY LLC/IPA originated in 2019 to allow three local clinically integrated chapters to collaborate in conjunction with CPESN USA while also having the capability to act independently where state and local needs require different resources. These chapters include CPESN of New York City (NYC), CPESN of Upstate NY (UNY), and CPESN of Western NY (WNY), and span statewide encompassing 287 member pharmacies.
