NEW YORK — In an unprecedented partnership, Chain Drug Review, Drug Store News, The Emerson Group and MMR are joining forces to celebrate the contributions of the National Association of Chain Drug Stores and community pharmacy retailers, as NACDS celebrates its 90th anniversary.

The December issues of Chain Drug Review and Drug Store News will feature an in-depth report about the history and accomplishments of NACDS, and how they fit into the evolution of retailing in America. Developed jointly by the two publications, the special section will highlight 90 milestones, leaders and events that transformed the business of NACDS’ members, the association itself, and the broader retail and health care sectors.

Publication of the report will coincide with a gala reception in New York City. The event — from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in Manhattan — will honor past and present industry leaders who impacted community health care during the past nine decades. In addition, the next generation of executives who will continue to move accessible health care and retailing forward will be recognized.
