Lucy Malmberg, R.Ph., F.A.C.A., F.A.C.V.P.
Senior Executive Vice President
Lucy Malmberg, R.Ph., F.A.C.A., F.A.C.V.P., senior executive vice president of Wedgewood Pharmacy, has more than 30 years' experience in the pharmacy profession. She is a registered pharmacist in Pennsylvania and Delaware. As co-founder of Wedgewood Pharmacy, she has been instrumental in transforming the company from a local community pharmacy purchased in 1981 into a specialized compounding pharmacy that is now one of the largest in the United States, serving more than 25,000 prescribers nationwide.
In 2002 Malmberg was a leader of the industry coalition of seven compounding pharmacies that argued successfully before the Supreme Court of the United States that the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997 (FDAMA), which prohibited pharmacists from advertising or promoting compounded drugs, was a violation of their First Amendment rights. Since that time, Malmberg has continued to lead industry efforts to protect the right of licensed prescribers to prescribe, and licensed compounding pharmacists to provide, custom-made drugs to meet the needs of individual patients.
In 2005 Malmberg was instrumental in forming the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists' (IACP) public affairs task force, which created an advocacy program centered around Patients and Professionals for Customized Care (P2C2), a Web site that provides tools and information for advocates of compounding pharmacy to influence public policy. In 2007 a coalition led by IACP's public affairs group was successful in preventing draft Federal legislation, which would have severely restricted access to life-saving compounded medications from being introduced into the Senate.
Prior to Wedgewood Pharmacy, Malmberg was an executive at E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Company, Inc. in a variety of sales, marketing and business operations positions.
Malmberg is a member of the board of directors of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists and serves on the Board of Trustees for the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia. She is also a member of the American Pharmaceuticals Association and the National Community Pharmacists Association and is a Fellow of both the American College of Apothecaries and the American College of Veterinary Pharmacists. She was active with the American Red Cross of the Delmarva Peninsula from 1995-2001, holding titles of board member, board secretary, board vice chair and board chair.
In 1991 Malmberg was awarded the DuPont Vice President's Award for Quality and Leadership, and in March 1993 the DuPont Engineering Award for her leadership and contributions to the Hotel DuPont project.
Malmberg holds a B.S. degree in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia.
