National Lipid Association Joins Pharmacy Times Strategic Alliance Partnership Program

Pharmacy Times^® is pleased to announce that the National Lipid Association has joined its Strategic Alliance Program (SAP).

The National Lipid Association was created out of the success established by the Southeast Lipid Association (SELA), which was formed in 1997 by a group of pioneering lipid researchers and clinicians from the Southeastern United States. By December 2000, the SELA Board of Directors voted for a national association to be formed to promote specialization in the area of clinical lipidology. Since 2002, the National Lipid Association has formed a total of 5 regional chapters representing more than 2000 members from across the United States (Southeast Chapter, Northeast Chapter, Midwest Chapter, Southwest Chapter, and Pacific Chapter).

Their goal is to enhance the science and practice of lipidology and promote optimal cardiometabolic health. Consistent with the mission statement, the National Lipid Association's operating principles are:​

• To promote health equity in all aspects of the organization;
• Enhance medical knowledge, clinical skills, and related business activities that provide for more effective patient outcomes by promoting and sustaining the highest ethical standards;
• Highlight gaps in scientific knowledge and to report on evolving and future needs in the related sciences
• Enhance efforts to reduce death and disability related to disorders of lipid metabolism in patients;
• Provide professional activities that serve the members of the National Lipid Association so all related health professionals will be able to join, train, and be represented to the scope of their practice;
• Promote responsible outreach to all regions of the country to make available the benefits of the NLA in every community;
• Promote their activities with the utmost respect to acceptable business practices, ensuring all interactions will be undertaken in a responsible and ethical fashion.
• Support other organizations with common purposes and values and will seek active interactions with such organizations.

“This partnership with MJH Sciences allows the National Lipid Association to share our expertise and clinical leadership with a wider audience. By combining our scientific rigor with MJH’s powerful educational platforms, we can further elevate the field of lipidology and support clinicians in delivering optimal patient care.”
