PrescribeWellness, the cloud-based services company whose mission is to inspire collaboration for better health, announced today that President and CEO, Al Babbington, has joined the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) Innovation Center Board of Directors.

Established earlier this year, NCPA created the Innovation Center to further develop the role of independent community pharmacists as healthcare continues to transition from pill- to patient-centric. The center will create programs specifically designed for community pharmacists so that they can position themselves for success within the progressing market.

“We welcome Al to the NCPA Innovation Center board and look forward to his ideas and contributions to its work,” said NCPA Chairman of the Board Bill Osborn, RPh, President of Osborn Drugs, Inc., in Miami, Okla. “Al and PrescribeWellness have demonstrated a strong commitment to independent community pharmacy through facilitating innovation and practice advancement. He will be a great addition as the NCPA Innovation Center and its board focuses on initiatives to advance community pharmacies in a value-driven health care marketplace.”

“I am very excited to be appointed to the NCPA Innovation Center board,” said Babbington. “As health care transitions to value-based care, there is a need for solutions that propel community pharmacy forward. I am looking forward to collaborating with my fellow board members to invent and deliver solutions that support pharmacists as they provide expanded patient care services within their communities.”
