Fueling Independent Pharmacy Advocacy with the 2025 NCPA Digest | Cardinal Health™ Counter Talk™ Podcast

The NCPA Digest, presented by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and Cardinal Health, is a comprehensive analysis quantifying and profiling the state of independent community pharmacy. From benchmarking performance and implementing process improvements to identifying new strategies that have proven successful for their peers, there are many ways independent pharmacies can leverage this annual report.

In this episode, NCPA’s Doug Hoey and Lisa Schwartz join Cardinal Health’s Michelle Britt and Rebecca McGrath to discuss the findings from the 2025 NCPA Digest and how independent pharmacists’ collective voices help inform this industry publication. They also share examples of how readers can use the Digest as an advocacy tool in conversations with elected officials and policymakers.
