Pharmacists have been actively contacting their elected representatives with record-breaking engagements with legislators, officials, and their staff since the beginning of 2024. Our message is clear; PBM reform MUST get done now. To increase the intensity even further, NCPA is rolling out a national campaign to engage your patients and consumers to get prescription payment reform over the goal line. Patients must contact Congress so we can FINISH the FIGHT.

Ever wonder what a “thought leader” really is? Sure, you’ve seen the term and maybe even read a few things by someone who purports to be one. For Dave Wendland, it’s a title that’s earned, not assumed. “An audience must ‘award’ you that honor,” he wrote in an op-ed for the Forbes Council last year, and the real metric of success isn’t about titles at all. It’s about audience engagement.

The Change Healthcare cyber-attack led to significant business disruptions for pharmacies with few exceptions as a direct result of the vertically-integrated nature of UnitedHealth Group. That’s our position, and that’s precisely what we told members of Congress before two separate congressional hearings last week, both of which grilled UnitedHealth CEO Andrew Witty. Independent pharmacies are still struggling daily with operational and financial disruptions months after the incident.

Scott Pace and NCPA’s Drew Register want to host you for a virtual open house detailing NCPA’s CORE leadership and business development program next week on May 8. Renowned experts elevate your core strengths and help you redeploy them to create a positive difference for you and your business (or businesses). With so many variables beyond your control, the time is right to figure out what you can control—and make it work to your advantage.

We teased it in last week’s qW and now it’s here! We’re kicking off CORE, NCPA’s new revolutionary approach to training pharmacy owners and their team members on the most essential elements of team leadership.
