Newly elected NACDS Chair Brian Nightengale, president, Good Neighbor Pharmacy, detailed a new and transformative era for pharmacy. He said:
“As we emerge from the pandemic and march onward toward the 90th anniversary of NACDS next year, we’re on the verge of permanently redefining how we serve our patients and consumers. But for that to happen, we must act, and that time is now.”

NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson said:
“As we look to the future, we are focused on taking the positive statements about pharmacy, taking the lessons learned, taking our recommendations, taking the results achieved for the American people and turning them once and truly for all into a vastly improved healthcare delivery system … that sees pharmacies like hundreds of millions of Americans see them: as the face of neighborhood healthcare.”
