Do you remember when John Clymer, executive director of the National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention, said this at the September 2022 NACDS satellite event in Washington, D.C. to amplify the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health?

NACDS hosted the satellite event as part of the bold “NACDS 2023” initiative. Led by the membership, “NACDS 2023” is innovating the Association’s approach to serving retailer and supplier members as they bring a “total store, total person” vision to health and wellness – in the pharmacy and beyond.

Next up: In March, NACDS is convening stakeholders who participated in last September’s satellite event, along with many new collaborators. Look for continuing developments as the future of the industry and of NACDS is happening now.
