Pharmacy advocates to rally in Washington, D.C., March 3-4, 2026, urging action on issues critical to patient access and pharmacy viability.

Arlington, VA - The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) has opened registration for the 2026 NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill, set for March 3-4. The two-day event in Washington, D.C., will bring pharmacy advocates from across the nation to press for action on legislative priorities that benefit Americans and the pharmacies on which they rely. Always a powerful opportunity to inspire and engage associates, the 2026 event will occur at a unique moment: the 250th Anniversary of the United States.

NACDS has worked alongside member companies to fine-tune this next iteration of NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill, which is expected to draw hundreds of pharmacy professionals, student pharmacists, and other allied advocates. Attendees will meet face-to-face with Members of Congress and their staff to urge action on priority issues such as reimbursement reform, expanded pharmacist services, and other policies that will improve access to care and protect the financial viability of pharmacies.

"We look forward to the return of NACDS' high-energy grassroots event in Washington, D.C., which will bring together an impressive force of pharmacy advocates at this crucial time for Americans and for their pharmacies," said NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson. "As our nation looks ahead to its 250th anniversary, we're proud to champion reforms that will help ensure healthier futures for all Americans, for many years to come."

NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill has grown into one of the largest and most significant pharmacy advocacy events in the nation. The program features training, networking, and meetings on Capitol Hill. A preliminary agenda is available here.

Registration is now open. Anyone with questions about the event should contact NACDS' Bill Tighe at [email protected].
