Deborah Hauser

Vice President and Chief Pharmacy Officer

Temple University Health System

Philadelphia, PA

Ms. Hauser leads the strategic, financial and clinical direction of pharmacy services across Temple University Health System, overseeing inpatient and outpatient operations, specialty pharmacy, retail services and medication management programs that support the system’s transplant program and Fox Chase Cancer Center. Under her leadership, pharmacy operating income is set to double by fiscal year 2026, supported by advanced dashboards that track prescription capture rates by location, specialty and medication. As chain pharmacies have exited parts of North Philadelphia and the River Wards, Ms. Hauser expanded the system’s outpatient pharmacies to address the resulting pharmacy desert. She established 24-hour pharmacy services at Temple Women & Families Hospital and launched a retail pharmacy at the Episcopal Campus focused on patients with substance use disorder, offering injectable medication-assisted therapy through a walk-in model. She expanded pharmacy infrastructure at Fox Chase Cancer Center, including advanced compounding and clean rooms, and added dedicated pharmacy support to the system’s transplant program. Her team has also integrated AI into compliance workflows to audit claims and identify savings opportunities.
