SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- NCPDP announced today that Doug Lindsay, who was bedridden for 11 years with a debilitating illness and pioneered a new surgery to restore his health, will share his inspirational story as a keynote speaker at the NCPDP 2020 Annual Technology & Business Conference, May 4-6 at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona. Lindsay's incredible, 14-year medical odyssey exemplifies the engagement, collaboration, persistence and innovation that NCPDP aims to inspire with its Dream BIG, Act NOW conference theme.
Lindsay's against-all-odds success story of helping to diagnose his extremely rare condition, inventing his own surgery, and becoming his own lead medical researcher seven years into his illness was CNN Health's top story of 2019. Believing that almost any obstacle can be overcome, Lindsay shares the skills to tackle problems like a scientist - take control, take the lead and take on the impossible with imagination, innovation and creativity.
Lindsay advocates that happiness is compatible with suffering and hardship. His presentation will invigorate the audience through the power of hope and perseverance, leaving NCPDP members inspired to believe that anything is possible; empowered to "Dream BIG;" and ready to "Act NOW" to take on the challenges ahead.
NCPDP's national conference draws more than 800 attendees from across the healthcare industry, including technical, business and executive representatives from health plans, pharmacy benefit managers, retail and independent pharmacies, specialty pharmacies, long-term care providers, healthcare consultants, technology vendors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, wholesale drug distributors, database management organizations and others.
The NCPDP Annual Conference is open to all healthcare industry stakeholders. Early bird registration is available until February 14. To register for the conference visit https://ncpdp.org/ac/register.aspx.
