NCPA on Community Pharmacy in 2017
The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) recently released CEO Doug Hoey’s commentary on community pharmacy in 2017.
As Hoey concluded, “[c]ommunity pharmacy is under tremendous economic pressure, but it also has opportunities due to its unique attributes. Community pharmacies are small business community economic powerhouses in an era where at least the rhetoric—if not the reality—is all about the importance of Main Street and job creation. It has relationships with its community and its government representatives. It has the passion and the patience to take care of the most costly patients in the healthcare system.”
