      CELEBRATING GEORGIA PHARMACY ASSOCIATION'S 150TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Georgia 
Pharmacy Association and recognize its 150th anniversary this year.
  Founded in 1875 in Macon by a group of Georgia pharmacists, the 
Georgia Pharmacy Association has acted as a platform to promote 
pharmacy both as a profession and a vital component of healthcare. The 
organization's reach has expanded into our four pharmacy schools in 
Georgia, fostering involvement from the next generation of healthcare 
professionals.
  The Georgia Pharmacy Association has achieved several legislative 
wins, both at the State and Federal levels, including a recent State 
reimbursement bill supporting independent pharmacies in their battle 
against PBMs.
  I congratulate the Georgia Pharmacy Association on their achievements 
for pharmacy throughout the past 150 years, and I wish them all the 
best at the upcoming State convention in Amelia Island this weekend.
