NACDS thanks NACDS-member retailers and suppliers for coming together and creating a true “industry reunion” at the 2022 NACDS Annual Meeting in Palm Beach, FL.
The high-energy event was a welcome return to the in-person NACDS Annual Meeting – fueling collaboration, fostering strategic business partnerships and providing members with a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect and advance the industry, together.
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.”

“We are poised to improve population health by empowering individual health through our commitment to collaboration, accessibility and equity. There is power when we move in a unified direction at a pace that matters for a cause much greater than ourselves.”

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.”
