A Game Changer

The Business of LTC Workshop, which took place April 19-20, was at capacity and by all accounts was a success! Thanks to our speakers from PharmaComplete and our sponsors who exhibited. If you missed the opportunity, we will next offer this workshop Oct. 24-25, prior to our Annual Convention in Columbus.

Comments from participants:

"Must make this a priority if you are thinking about or currently in LTC."

"As an independent pharmacy, you must pursue the LTC-at-home space."

"The speakers were outstanding and provided game changing information."
