Below is an excerpt from Tim’s nomination.
Tim Safley has been a supporter of NASP since the very beginning. He made sure that his organization – ACHC — was one of the first corporate members and has maintained corporate membership throughout his association with NASP. He has been a significant contributor to the Clinical Outcomes Committee and he volunteered to lead one of their workgroups. As a direct result of his leadership, NASP has been able to move forward with the development of outcomes measures. He has always been an NASP advocate, encouraging others to get involved, and has brought many new members to the organization.
Congratulations to Tim Safley and Fairview Specialty Pharmacy.
