As we hopefully exit this pandemic, there is an urgent need for groundbreaking innovation and the time for change is now.”
EmpiRx Health’s Value Xchange 2022 will broaden the definition of health equity, appealing to organizations to evaluate their current standards, demonstrate why a company’s healthcare approach should be tailored to its unique population, and drive home the impact that innovation in pharmacy benefits can have on employee health, wellness, and financial bottom line.
