This week, Mighty Mouse roared!

This year’s Compounders on Capitol Hill started Tuesday with a video of the old Mighty Mouse cartoon, a reminder that APC is small but scrappy. By Thursday morning, we’d proved it.

By the numbers:

132 compounders from across the country attended (that’s not counting exhibitors and special guests).
They paid visits to 122 members of Congress — about two-thirds of which were in-person — talking about the critical issues facing the profession.
21 exhibitors displayed their goods and services, and networked with attendees.
14 individual members helped sponsor the event.
We got additional co-signers on HR 3662, and additional signers on the cBHT joint congressional letter to FDA.

A big thank-you to the pharmacy compounders, pharmacy owners, experts, vendors, and everyone else who attended, exhibited, sponsored, and supported the event. (You can see all our supporters at A4PC.org/cch.)
