Americans Rank Pharmacists Highly for Honesty, Ethics

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 20 -- The National Community Pharmacists Association issued the following statement by CEO B. Douglas Hoey:

"We commend community pharmacists across the country on their impressive showing in the latest Gallup survey of Americans' views of honesty and ethical standards. People continue to hold pharmacists in very high regard. In this survey covering 22 professions, pharmacists are the second most trusted.

"It is time for payers and policymakers to better utilize the accessibility, expertise and public trust in pharmacists. NCPA will carry that message into 2017 as health care reform efforts accelerate and the shift toward a value-based care system continues."
