RPh Recovery Program (MEPRN)

The Maine Pharmacists Recovery Network (MEPRN) is currently working with the Physicians Health Program towards the development of a self reporting recovery program for Maine pharmacists.

We will post any new information as soon as it becomes available. In the interim here are some websites with information that you may find useful as well as my e-mail should you have any questions or concerns.

UPDATE
On May 8th, Bob Morrisette, Gordon Smith, Anne Head, Doug Carr and myself testified on LD 1575 an act to allow the Maine Board of Pharmacy to establish a Pharmacists Health Program. The testimony was met with a very favorable response. This is the next step in the process of joining with the Physicians Health Program (PHP) and all signs point to us as becoming a formal part of the program by this coming Fall. If this does happen as planned we will be making a detailed presentation of the program at this years Fall MPA Samoset conference. As always do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
