Waukesha, Wisconsin – November 29, 2016 – Dave Wendland, vice president, strategic relations and member of the owners group at HRG, will moderate the Chronic Care Roundtable, December 1st, at the Drug Store News Annual Industry Issues Summit. It will be Wendland’s thirteenth time moderating at the event.   

Wendland will be leading the panel discussion of 6 retailers and 5 manufacturers, including Walgreens, Health Mart, Rite Aid, Costco, H.E.B., Shopko, Becton Dickinson, Johnson & Johnson, Menasha, Vanish Point, and MD Labs. Topics for discussion include pharmacies’ role in the care of chronic condition patients, coordinating and connecting the touchpoints across the omni-channel platforms, how technology and consumerism will fuel personalized medicine, and measuring and monitoring patient outcomes.

Wendland stated, “My goal with these discussions has always been to bring forward the subjects where retailers and manufacturers can collaborate to provide cost-effective, easily accessible solutions for the consumer. With the rise in chronic conditions and recent surge in self-care, there are tremendous opportunities for both entities to redefine how they aide consumers in their quest for health and wellness.”
