An anonymous Kentucky donor with bourbon ties launched a foundation to improve medication safety, focusing on reducing polypharmacy risks, especially among older adults.
The ASCP Foundation launched "The Spirits of Medication Management," an endowment funded by an anonymous Kentucky donor with bourbon industry ties, to enhance patient care through pharmacist-led medication management.
Motivated by personal experiences with polypharmacy—defined as taking five or more medications daily, affecting over 20% of adults aged 40–79 and contributing to 30% of hospital admissions and the fifth leading cause of death—the donor supports efforts to reduce medication-related harm.
The initiative aims to improve medication safety, raise public awareness, and drive systemic change, with a focus on older adults but extending to younger populations.
The ASCP Foundation, established in 1982, advances the mission of the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists, the only global organization dedicated to optimizing medication use and health outcomes for older adults across care settings.
