Experienced Medically Integrated Pharmacy Leaders from HOACNY and Utah Cancer Specialists Join COPA Leadership
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, August 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Community Oncology Pharmacy Association (COPA), a peer network for medically integrated pharmacies in independent community oncology and urology practices, is pleased to announce the addition of Nick Bouchard, PharmD, and Kyle Kitchen, PharmD, MBA, to its Board of Directors.
Bouchard serves as the Director of Pharmacy Services for Hematology-Oncology Associates of Central New York (HOACNY), while Kitchen is Chief Clinical Officer for Utah Cancer Specialists. Together, they bring nearly four decades of combined experience in clinical pharmacy, operations, and practice leadership.
Both Bouchard and Kitchen have been deeply involved in COPA for several years, contributing to roundtable discussions and assisting their peers in addressing pharmacy and practice issues. Their willingness to help and roles as leaders at their own practices make them valuable members of an industry-spanning association like COPA.
“Nick and Kyle exemplify what COPA is all about – peer leadership, practical insight, and a deep commitment to patient-centered pharmacy care in their communities,” said Christine Pfaff, MBA, RPh, Director of Clinical Initiatives at the Community Oncology Alliance (COA) and staff liaison to COPA. “Their expertise and hands-on approach make them invaluable additions to the COPA Advisory Board.”
COPA is a network of the Community Oncology Alliance (COA), the nation’s leading nonprofit advocacy group dedicated solely to the needs of independent community oncology practices.
