In this special episode of the Pharmacy Friends podcast, “Live at Specialty Summit ’24 – Connect. Elevate. Transform.,” we are on the road in New York City at our 21st annual Specialty Summit. More than 600 people have come to Times Square to listen to exceptional speakers, gain insight from insightful expert panels and network with the brightest minds in specialty.

Today, we’re talking with several leaders at Prime about how each are focusing their work on the three pieces of our newly formed framework. We want to help make medications more affordable, deliver an easy, transparent experience and, most importantly, help people achieve better health.
