Thank you to every member organization, student pharmacist, and advocate who helped make this year’s NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill such a success.

Pharmacy advocates from across the country came together in Washington, D.C., last week for an incredibly inspiring and impactful 2026 NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill.

Across two days of programming, the NACDS Board of Directors, member organizations, and student pharmacists united with a shared purpose: ensuring policymakers understand the vital role pharmacies play as the face of neighborhood healthcare.

During meetings with Congress and federal leaders, NACDS advocates focused on three key priorities:

• Thanking Congress for its historic step on PBM reform, while urging continued vigilance through implementation and enforcement - and through the push for further legislation.
• Pressing for enactment of the Ensuring Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 3164/S. 2426).
• Underscoring the vital importance of local pharmacies in TrumpRx and other emerging prescription drug models.

The week kicked off with the NACDS Board of Directors participating in a series of high-level meetings with policymakers and administration leaders, including discussions with U.S. Senators, the Office of the Speaker of the House, and officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, highlighting pharmacies' role in strengthening healthcare access and advancing key policy priorities.
