2nd Annual EDSA Catalyst Awards
About this Event
The End Drug Shortages Alliance (EDSA) will host its 2nd Annual Catalyst Awards at ASHP Midyear 2026.
The EDSA Catalyst Awards celebrate the people and partnerships driving meaningful progress in ending drug shortages. Each year, the Awards recognize those whose vision, commitment, and collective actions strengthen the drug supply chain, and expand access to essential medicines for patients.
This year’s theme, Patients Can’t Wait, reflects the heart of EDSA’s mission and reminds us why this work matters.
EDSA brings together leaders and partners across the drug supply chain to safeguard access to essential medicines, address the vulnerabilities that lead to shortages, and advance solutions that prevent disruptions before they reach patients.
Let’s honor those moving with urgency, working across sectors and systems, and turning collaboration into action to end drug shortages for good.
We hope you’ll make plans to join us for an evening of networking, storytelling, and recognition, as we spotlight those making a meaningful impact in preventing and resolving drug shortages.
