    About this Episode

    In this episode, Amy Holman and Marcia Mueting discuss LB1181 & LB1035, two Nebraska legislation bills that the NPA testified in support of at the January hearing. From pharmacy inventory regulations to a prescription drug donation program, these bills directly impact the pharmacy industry and Nebraska pharmacy professionals.

    Even though this episode takes a deep dive into Nebraska legislation, it is anything but a SNORE! But don't worry if you do, Amy's Pharm Facts cover the history, causes, and remedies for snoring!

    Upcoming NPA Events:

    • February 24th - 2nd Annual Pharmasaurus Mini-Golf Open
    • March 19th - Virtual presentation with Biogen
    • June 28th - Long-Term Care Network Education Day
    • August 2nd - Health Systems & Industry Network Conference (HSINC)
