NACDS makes push for RxIMPACT Pharmacy Advocacy LinkedIn group

ARLINGTON, Va. — Expecting a flurry of legislative activity in Congress in the weeks ahead, and a highly aggressive 2016 election season, the National Association of Chain Drug Stores is making a major push for its NACDS RxIMPACT Pharmacy Advocates group on LinkedIn.

On Wednesday, the group had 934 members, with a goal to reach 2,500 by Nov. 3. The purpose of the group is to connect grassroots pharmacy advocates from across the country, and grow its ranks to be poised for action when critical issues arise in Congress, the White House or in the states.

“Engagement by pharmacy advocates breathes life into the policymaking process. As a constituent, when you meld care stories with issue positions you really personify the impact of legislation. That type of powerful communication can be a game-changer for pharmacy,” NACDS director of government affairs and grassroots programs Heidi Ecker told Drug Store News.
