Pharmacy Ownership Workshop - Kansas City
Maybe you've talked about it: owning your own pharmacy someday, but you're not sure you have the skills or the resources.
Or maybe you've been running your own pharmacy for a little while and you're ready to take it to the next level.
In either case, the NCPA Innovation Center offers a proven resource just for you: The Pharmacy Ownership Workshop, sponsored by McKesson and in part by First Financial Bank and Pharmacists Mutual Companies.
It's an intensive two-day event for pharmacists considering pharmacy ownership or current owners looking to polish their management skills. It's a soup-to-nuts crash course on pharmacy ownership, whether you're starting from the ground up, purchasing an existing store, or expanding to become a multi-store owner.
October 1, 2026 9:30 am - 6:30 pm
October 2, 2026 8:00am - 4:30pm
