NACDS is a non-profit organization based in Arlington, Virginia, focused on advocating for pro-patient and pro-pharmacy public policy and highlighting the value of community pharmacy as the face of neighborhood healthcare. Its membership spans traditional drug stores, supermarkets, and mass merchants with pharmacies, as well as pharmacy and consumer goods suppliers, ranging from regional chains to national companies. The association supports its members through forums, meetings, and programs that facilitate business collaboration and practical solutions within the retail pharmacy ecosystem. It also hosts the NACDS Total Store Expo, which blends trade show elements with a senior-level conference to enable cross-functional collaboration among retailers and suppliers. In June 2026, NACDS announced leadership changes, promoting Kayla McFeely to senior vice president of health and wellness strategy and policy to lead efforts on expanding access to care and scaling pharmacy-based healthcare services.
