Sebelius names Kansan to oversee pharmacy quality
JoAnne Gilstrap reappointed to State Board of Pharmacy

Thousands of Kansans depend on prescription medication everyday and to ensure high standards in pharmacies across the state, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has reappointed JoAnne Gilstrap, Kansas City, to the State Board of Pharmacy.

“It’s important Kansans have access to skilled pharmacists to fill their prescriptions,” said Sebelius.  “I’m pleased that JoAnne is willing to continue her service to this board, which protects Kansans by making sure their pharmacists are well-trained and qualified.”

The mission of the Board of Pharmacy is to protect the public health by ensuring all persons and entities conducting business relating to the practice of pharmacy in Kansas are properly licensed and registered.

Gilstrap will serve a three-year term.
