Every day, you dispense hundreds of medications. You catch drug interactions, counsel patients, verify dosages, and manage inventory — all while the line at the counter grows longer. For years, the biggest threat to patient safety wasn't lack of knowledge. It was bandwidth.
That's where AI is changing everything.
AI-powered clinical decision support now flags potential drug interactions in real time — interactions that might slip through during a hectic shift. Automated dispensing systems reduce human error in high-volume environments. AI tools help us identify patients at risk of non-adherence before they ever miss a dose. And predictive analytics are helping us manage inventory smarter, so the medications people need are actually on the shelf when they need them.
But here's what I want people to understand: AI doesn't replace the pharmacist. It frees the pharmacist.
Are you seeing AI make an impact in your pharmacy ? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Yesterday, the Arizona House Health & Human Services Committee voted to advance HB2196. This bill would bar pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from reimbursing pharmacists or pharmacies below the actual cost of a prescription drug or device. Wins like this are exactly what our industry needs.

Independence keeps it strong.

This Presidents Day, we celebrate the pharmacy owners who lead their communities every single day.

Proud to stand behind independent pharmacy. 🇺🇸

Most pharmacies assume their rebates just “show up.”
But are you actually getting the maximum rebates you’ve earned?

At United Pharmacy Network, we don’t leave that to chance!

We actively track ordering patterns, pricing tiers, and contract compliance to ensure our members are positioned to capture every available rebate opportunity. If volume shifts, pricing changes, or a tier threshold is within reach — our team sees it.

And more importantly, we act on it.

Our in-house rebate optimization program and dedicated team monitor performance, identify gaps, and help pharmacies adjust in real time — so no dollars are left on the table.

In our industry, it’s easy to get distracted by trends.

New buzzwords. New models. New “must-have” solutions.

But real progress? It doesn’t come from chasing what’s popular. It comes from doing the right things — consistently.

At United Pharmacy Network, we’ve learned that supporting independent pharmacies isn’t about quick wins. It’s about steady advocacy, strong vendor partnerships, and showing up for our members every single day.

Trends fade.
Consistency builds trust.
And trust builds lasting progress.

United Pharmacy Network proudly participated in supporting PSSNY’s 2026 Pharmacy Advocacy Lobby Day on February 10, 2026 at the New York State Capitol in Albany, New York.

With over 550+ independent member pharmacies nationwide, we showed up to stand alongside pharmacy owners, pharmacists, and advocates fighting to protect and strengthen community pharmacy.

We had the opportunity to meet directly with legislators to discuss meaningful reforms that will improve the pharmacy landscape, protect patient access, and push back against harmful PBM practices that continue to threaten independent pharmacies.

This wasn’t just a visit - it was action. Real conversations. Real solutions. Real advocacy.

Thank you to PSSNY for organizing such an impactful day and to everyone who joined in the fight to protect our profession and the patients we serve.

We showed up. We spoke up. We stood up for pharmacy.

Independent pharmacies are entering another period of change.
With new programs like TrumpRx bringing direct-to-consumer options, the pressure on community pharmacies isn't going away—it's evolving.
But here's what hasn't changed:
✅ Patients still value trust.
✅ Personalized care still matters.
✅ Independent pharmacies meet needs no one else can.
At United Pharmacy Network, we see this moment as an opportunity—not a threat.
We're focused on helping our members compete and thrive by strengthening purchasing power, improving cash-pricing strategies, supporting smarter contracting, and advocating harder for fair reimbursement.
Independent pharmacies don't succeed by racing to the lowest price. They succeed by delivering value, access, and personalized care—every single day.
Our job is to make sure they have the tools, leverage, and voice to keep doing exactly that.

February 4 marked a major milestone in the fight for fair drug pricing: a landmark FTC settlement with Express Scripts to lower costs for patients.

Are we finally on the right path toward real PBM reform?

What Is the “Last Five Feet”?
When testifying before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging in October, Mark Cuban reminded lawmakers that the “last five feet” represents the final, face-to-face interaction between a pharmacist and a patient. It’s in this moment that medication errors can be caught, adherence challenges can be identified, and trust is built.

When this personal connection is replaced by mail-order services and call centers, that critical layer of care is lost.

Public comments are open through March 31.
