The Virginia Society of Health-System Pharmacists is a professional organization dedicated to pharmacy in Virginia. Comprised of pharmacists, educators, pharmacy residents, pharmacy students, pharmacy technicians, and pharmaceutical industry members, the society is united in their commitment to safe, effective, and rational drug therapy through the concept of pharmaceutical care. Originally known as the Virginia Society of Hospital Pharmacists, the organization was formed in 1954 by a small group of pharmacists seeking to establish a regional counterpart to the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists.

Since then, their primary objective has been to provide continuing education programs and set standards of practice to enhance the profession. The Virginia Society of Health-System Pharmacists offers various services and initiatives such as webinars, online continuing education, newsletters, mentorship programs, and student chapters. They actively engage with their members through committees, awards, and recognition.

Additionally, the society provides resources at their archives, which are available to visitors. With their mission to inspire innovative pharmacy practice through education, advocacy, and collaboration, the Virginia Society of Health-System Pharmacists envisions optimal, safe, and effective medication use for all individuals at all times
