Conshohocken, Pa. (July 26, 2024)--Good Neighbor Pharmacy, a national independent pharmacy network offered through Cencora, convened more than 3,500 independent pharmacy owners and other partners to celebrate its annual marquee tradeshow and conference, ThoughtSpot . Now in its 13th year, ThoughtSpot celebrates the Good Neighbor Pharmacy network and its pharmacists' enduring dedication to improving the health and wellness of their communities, while paving the path of independent pharmacy forward.
Held this year at the Marriott World Center in Orlando, Fla., from July 24-27, ThoughtSpot provided a one-of-a-kind experience for Good Neighbor Pharmacy members to collaborate, learn and discover new resources to help them deliver patient care and advance the health of their communities. ThoughtSpot attendees had access to more than 30 continuing education sessions and certification programs this year, with sessions focused on helping them solve some of their most pressing challenges and opportunities to learn about technological integration and navigate regulatory developments.
In addition, participants had the option to engage in networking and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. This year's programming focused on positioning pharmacists as a resilient force for community healthcare evolution and included sharing tools and information for new pathways for advocacy and enhanced connections with patients:
"Year after year, I am blown away by the collaboration, dedication and perseverance that our Good Neighbor Pharmacy members demonstrate in their pharmacies, which is the focus of our celebration at ThoughtSpot," said Jenni Zilka, SVP, Community & Specialty Pharmacy and President of Good Neighbor Pharmacy. "Our Good Neighbor Pharmacy members face unique challenges to improve health in their communities, and we are proud to support their efforts by helping them advocate for fair reimbursement and the ability to provide clinical services, so that they can continue this vitally important work. Our goal is to help our members become a resilient force for change. This year's ThoughtSpot celebrates all we have accomplished together as we look forward to what more we can achieve."
New Solutions to Support Pharmacy Patient Care Services
At this year's ThoughtSpot, Good Neighbor Pharmacy unveiled several new patient care services solutions for member pharmacies. Designed to enhance clinical service workflow, expand patient communications and improve operational efficiencies, these new options allow member pharmacies to focus on what matters most - taking care of their patients.
Good Neighbor Pharmacy's Inaugural Champions Awards
As retail pharmacies, particularly independents, increasingly focus on specialized patient care, community outreach and diversified solutions, they have become known as healthcare destinations within their communities. This year's ThoughtSpot featured a new awards program, the Good Neighbor Pharmacy Champion Awards, recognizing pharmacies displaying leadership and excellence in the specialized areas of advocacy, clinical care and storytelling. The awards honor Good Neighbor Pharmacy members who support the improvement and advancement of pharmacy practice and serve as an inspiration to their peers.
"Jay, Lori, Jonathan, Vince, John and James, as well as their peers that comprise the Good Neighbor Pharmacy network, are the stewards of their communities' health," says Tim Cernohous, SVP & President of Community Retail and Long-Term Care Pharmacy at Cencora. "ThoughtSpot offers a chance to not only honor the accomplishments of the Good Neighbor Pharmacy network but is also an opportunity for us to come together and advance our common goal of uplifting communities. As we adapt to the ever-changing healthcare environment, our dedication to supporting our pharmacy partners remains stronger than ever, ensuring we are ready for the future of health."
