Executive Summary
DRUG STORE H&BA FRONT END "PIVOTAL" IN FACE OF OTC SWITCHES and the managed care environment, NACDS Annual Meeting Chairman Pat Rizzotto (Johnson & Johnson VP-business development), told attendees at the National Association of Chain Drug Stores' 1997 meeting in Palm Beach, Fla. April 27. While pharmacy remains "the core of community retail" drug stores, according to Rizzotto, the segment "is now sharing its pivotal position with other sections of the store," including health and beauty aids.
