Leveraging Regional Pharmacy Unique Strengths
John Marraffa, president of Kinney Drugs, discusses the factors that enable the regional pharmacy chain to thrive in a marketplace dominated by national retailers. He discusses the importance of Kinney’s deep roots in its operating area, the advantages of its ability to adapt quickly, and the synergies that arise from its relationship with parent company KPH Healthcare Services.

Helping Pharmacies Innovate and Improve Performance
Cencora explores how they identify the problems that pharmacy operators are most concerned about and go about helping them find solutions. “There is an opportunity to evolve with customers, support them on a larger scale, and support customers in adapting to the market conditions and to really help independent pharmacies be competitive and resilient.”

Examining Pharmacy’s Next Chapter
Leaders from seven PQA member organizations, including Board member Crystal Lennartz of McKesson’s Health Mart and Health Mart Atlas, participated in a roundtable discussion on the future of pharmacy with a focus on federal policy and clinical reimbursement. Participants also examined how automation, artificial intelligence, and better-connected technology can free pharmacists to spend more time with patients.
