Roundtable Date and Time: 10/22/2025

Pharmacies are playing an increasingly critical role in delivering frontline care from vaccines and chronic disease management to food-as-medicine initiatives. Yet across the U.S., outdated and inconsistent state pharmacy regulations are creating barriers to progress, innovation, and scale.

This virtual roundtable examine how the patchwork of state rules from scope of practice to collaborative practice agreements and provider status affects the ability to deliver care efficiently and equitably. Together, we’ll discuss pathways to align with a forward-looking regulatory approach that meets the needs of today’s pharmacy practice and tomorrow’s retail health model.

Who Should Attend:
Retail pharmacy leaders, associations, compliance, government, state boards of pharmacy, pharmacists, policymakers, experts and innovators involved in care delivery at the pharmacy level.

Key Topics:

  • Navigating scope of practice and collaborative practice agreements across state lines
  • Achieving provider status for pharmacists in more states and settings
  • Regulatory barriers to implementing food-as-medicine and preventive care through pharmacy
  • Building scalable clinical services within existing legal frameworks
  • Opportunities for public-private alignment and cross-state consistency
