Health care affordability and the prevention of drug abuse are critically important to the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), making these topics the focus of a discussion led by Steven C. Anderson, FASAE, CAE, IOM, president and CEO, NACDS, during a session at the NACDS 2021 Annual Meeting.
This year, Anderson noted that NACDS is able to look back and see how pharmacy’s role in health care has been redefined in light of the pharmacist’s role in saving the lives of millions of Americans through their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We have redefined for the ages what it means to save lives, to serve consumers in times of need, and to provide a truly essential health and wellness destination—all because of your response to fighting COVID-19,” Anderson said during the session.
