On August 14, 2026, ACCP Past-President Jo Ellen Rodgers welcomed Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) to the College’s headquarters in Lenexa, Kansas, for a conversation about the impact of clinical pharmacists and national health policy.

During his visit, Senator Marshall met with ACCP staff and spent time learning about ACCP’s professional development, practice/research advancement, and advocacy activities, gaining insight into how clinical pharmacists improve patient outcomes.

Senator Marshall spent 25 years as an OB/GYN physician caring for patients in Kansas, so the tour aligned with the Senator’s longstanding interest in rural health and team‑based care. Now in the Senate, Dr. Marshall serves on both the Committee on Finance and the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) and is considered one of the most influential health policy leaders in Washington. The College looks forward to serving as a resource to the Senator and his staff on health-related issues.
