The National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) is hosting a Business of Long-Term Care Workshop, with registration closing today at 11 p.m. ET. The workshop is designed to help pharmacies, whether they are starting an LTC pharmacy, kickstarting new LTC services, or already offering those services, gain insights and skills to run successful and sustainable long-term care businesses.

Why it matters

With over 10,000 people turning 65 every day in the U.S., the growing aging population represents a prime opportunity for pharmacies to expand their services and businesses to meet the needs of these patients, wherever they may be aging.

The details

The workshop will cover the basics of high-quality long-term care, explain how to sustain a successful LTC business, including by helping attendees create a sound foundation for a marketing strategy, and provide the skills necessary to evaluate new packaging/tech solutions to ensure efficient and effective operations.

  • Registration for the workshop closes at 11 p.m. ET today, March 31, 2026.

What they’re saying

“I enrolled in this workshop to receive basic knowledge for federal and state guidelines, regulations, and guidance for LTC billing and consulting. Instead, I received extensive knowledge of all LTC opportunities, resources, and built a plan to take and use at our pharmacy. Most importantly, I now have personal connections with speakers, fellow attendees, and endless opportunities for assistance developing our services. For that I will be forever grateful. Hands down the best workshop I've attended in my pharmacy career.”

— April Porter, Pharmacist, Palace Drug
