We loved seeing Dr. Handy in action at the recent Health Wagon Free Clinic! While providing vital care to our community, he also hosted a group of medical and nurse practitioner interns to show them what medicine looks like on the front lines.

Accountability, Innovation, and Access Across Care | TWIRx
This Week in Pharmacy – 04-10-2026

On this episode of This Week in Pharmacy, we cover a high-impact week across the profession, from TWIRx news and practice transformation to oncology leadership, pediatric research, and a look ahead to Asembia 2026.

Powered by Outcomes and IPC, supporting independent pharmacy innovation, patient engagement, and performance.

In TWIRx News, we break down a $1.9M federal fraud case involving a pharmacy owner who admitted to submitting false claims for medications that were medically unnecessary or never dispensed, impacting Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross Blue Shield over a five-year period.

We also highlight Amy Seung stepping into the HOPA presidency during a period of rapid acceleration in oncology, where new approvals, indications, and clinical data are emerging at an unprecedented pace. She emphasizes HOPA’s role in bridging evolving science with real-world care, with a focus on bispecific therapies, real-world evidence, and toxicity management.

We also spotlight research from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, where Dr. David Drewry and student researchers are advancing work on DIPG, an aggressive pediatric brain cancer with limited treatment options. Using an open-science model, the team is working to accelerate discovery while keeping therapies more accessible, including progress toward a Phase 1 trial for an ALK2 inhibitor. We also feature a cost-plus pharmacy model using AI and cash pricing to redefine care delivery.

We’re also preparing for Asembia 2026 in Las Vegas. Find the Pharmacy Podcast Network at booth 1805 with coverage supported by Clearway Health.

This week’s interviews feature Nick Baird of Outcomes on patient engagement and value creation, and Dr. Jen Hammons of Health Wagon, expanding access to care for underserved communities through a growing network of services.

Join us as we connect the week’s top headlines to the broader transformation across pharmacy practice, policy, specialty care, and community health.
