NACDS' VP of pharmacy programs to be honored

EAST HANOVER, N.J. — The Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute and the Phi Lambda Sigma Pharmacy Leadership Society have selected Alex Adams, VP of pharmacy programs for the National Association of Chain Drug Stores, as the recipient of the 2015 Albert B. Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award.



The award will be presented on March 29 at the American Pharmacists Association Annual Meeting in San Diego. First presented in 1987, the Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award is presented to a young pharmacist no more than 10 years into his or her career who has demonstrated exemplary leadership accomplishments.



Adams is responsible for the NACDS’s public health efforts, and also explores innovative services for pharmacy within the transforming healthcare system. He also leads the research efforts of the NACDS Foundation, which has a $5 million portfolio focused on pharmacy-based point-of-care testing, medication adherence interventions, and pharmacy services following hospital discharge, among others.

Previously, Adams worked with Sen. Mark Wagoner, Jr., managing his reelection to the Ohio House of Representatives and his election to the Ohio State Senate.
