In 2023, 16% of shoppers in independent drugstores contribute to two-thirds of the store’s dollar sales.  Nielsen representatives Hilary Hilary Hainsworth Smith, Associate Director, U.S. Retail Analytics Group, and Jaquelyn Flam who oversees their U.S. Retail Division for drug, beauty and over-the-counter (OTC) services, spoke with our Cardinal Health Consumer Health Division representatives, Jason Dulgar at our annual Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference (RBC), about today’s independent drug store shopper, i.e., their shopping behaviors, their demographic, the types of products they choose, and the critical distinction between a “light shopper” vs. “large shopper.”  In this podcast, Hilary and Jaquelyn address how these shopping factors and behaviors impact independent drug retailers. They start with an analysis at a macro level to help independent drug retailers understand the market trends that are impacting pharmacy shoppers. They also address “who” that shopper is in independent drug retail today, how it’s changed over recent years, and the macro trends impacting these shoppers.  As they bring us to the conclusion of sharing their vast and helpful insights, they address how independent drug retailers can also operationalize these insights. It’s a podcast not to miss.  Listen — and learn! — today.

It’s always a joy to have incredible conversations with incredible people on this podcast. Today I am interviewing a dear colleague and co-author of the book Beyond the Counter, and we discuss why it's so important to take care of your body, and mind NOW. You're either paying for prevention now, or treatment later. Dr. Melissa Hetrick, PharmD, BCPS, is a clinical staff pharmacist at Lehigh Valley Health Network, and a Sales Coordinator at The Juice Plus + Company. She is currently a clinical pharmacist for the Integrative Care Coordination team, a division of Population Health, at Lehigh Valley Health Network. She has previously practiced within the inpatient setting for the first 15 years of her career focusing on areas such as pediatrics, parenteral nutrition, operating room satellite, and intravenous compounding as well as specializing in Hematology/Oncology at the LVHN Topper Cancer Institute for the past 5 years. Dr. Hetrick guides hard-working women down a clear path of health and wellness, replacing unfavorable habits with simple changes to attain confidence and balance. Her dream is to help these women and their families learn how to prevent disease with food as their medicine, rather than treating it with an overload of prescription medications. Tune into the episode to hear how even “bad” things can have silver linings and share this with a friend who may be struggling!

The Doctor Patient Forum is a non-partisan, community-based organization that works to support pain patients and their physicians with access to lifesaving pain relief and to mitigate the harmful effects of efforts to curb liberal prescribing and overdose. With a focus on disabled people, those in chronic pain, and physicians who work with them, DPF provides information, practical tools, and policy analysis to strengthen patient-centered safe and appropriate medical support and advocates for approaches that reduce increasingly common suffering and death resulting from non-consensual medication reduction or termination of care.   Raising Awareness and Improving Conditions For:  • Pain patients facing non-consensual medication reduction  • Termination of treatment  • Untreated pain Well-intended responses to the overdose crisis by state and federal authorities have caused unintended harmful consequences including patient dismissal / termination of care and forced/non-consensual opioid and benzodiazepine tapers, which have led to a crisis of medically abandoned patients, suffering, and even death.
