ANY New York State resident can send a letter to the Governor sign the law that will protect pharmacy access! Share this link with patients, friends, and families to encourage Gov Hochul to sign the law that will require adequate reimbursement for the prescription services community pharmacies provide every day!

We need to fight back against powerful healthcare monopolies. Tell Governor Hochul to save our pharmacies and protect the patients who rely on them from greedy prescription drug middlemen by signing the bipartisan Patient Access to Pharmacy Act.

Learn more about the presenter for our upcoming CE on compounding:

Sara Hover, RPh, joined the PCCA Clinical Services team in June 2013 and was promoted to manager of clinical services in 2021, director in 2023, and senior director in 2025. As a clinical compounding pharmacist for PCCA, she has the opportunity to share her clinical and compounding knowledge with pharmacists across the US and Canada. PCCA has always provided her as a pharmacist/business owner with the tools to succeed. Now, on the other side of the fence, as a PCCA team member, she is honored to continue this superior service to other PCCA members. Sara loves educating pharmacists and physicians on a variety of topics, including women’s health, hormone replacement therapy, and compounding options to improve patients’ lives and health span. She spent 20 years practicing pharmacy as a PCCA member, including 10 years as a pharmacy owner. She learned a lot about pharmacy and compounding from her earlier experiences and about starting and running a business from her latter experience. She started Creative Compounds in Prosper, TX, an independent compounding-only pharmacy focused on women’s health and nutrition, where she surrounded herself with great people, making the pharmacy a success. Sara obtained a Bachelor of Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 1994. She obtained a fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Functional Medicine in 2015. She is a wife and proud mother of 3 children, all grown or almost grown, with a couple still on the payroll. 2024 was a big year for Sara, as she became a grandmother.
