“In my Board position, I hope to advance the key issues we face as an industry and find solutions that assist in enhancing patient care,” Walk said. “These include, among others, addressing the changing regulatory landscape and reimbursement environment as well as facilitating technology across all communication channels including patient-provider and patient-pharmacy since the use of telehealth initiatives are on the rise.”

The 2023-2024 Board of Directors will be installed after NHIA’s Annual Conference in Washington, D.C., March 25-29, 2023. Each will serve a three-year term.

“We welcome Drew to the NHIA Board, which we expanded this term to 15 total seats to allow for broader diversification of infusion provider organization representation,” said Connie Sullivan, BSPharm, NHIA president and chief executive officer. “Over the course of his career, Drew has worked with various types of health care entities which allows him to bring a broad range of experience to all stakeholders. We look forward to Drew’s contributions to our constituents and Board.”

Trained as a pharmacist, he has held roles of increasing responsibility at health systems, small independent infusion pharmacies and large national providers. Walk’s new appointment marks the second time he has served on the NHIA Board, the first being a four-year term from 2010-2014.
