About the Award
The Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award was established in 1950 by the Michigan Society of Hospital Pharmacists to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to health-system pharmacy. The Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award is given annually to an individual who has made significant contributions to health-system pharmacy, including sustained exemplary service, an outstanding single achievement, or a combination of accomplishments benefiting the profession and public health. The Award is considered to be the highest honor in health-system pharmacy.
In May of 1963, the Michigan Society of Health-System Pharmacists presented a resolution to the ASHP Board of Directors to establish the Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award as an ASHP award. The Award has been administered by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) ever since the resolution.
Award recipients are announced in the Spring of each year and required to present a lecture at the Harvey A. K. Whitney Lecture Award banquet held during the ASHP Summer Meetings in June. Tickets are available to those who attend the ASHP Summer Meetings.
