Good Neighbor Pharmacy Celebrates Independent Community Pharmacy Excellence at ThoughtSpot 2025
The four-day event, held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, provided attendees with an opportunity to connect and explore programs and resources designed to help pharmacists grow their business, enhance patient care and navigate challenges. Programming focused on key initiatives and solutions to support the sustainability of independent pharmacy, with a specific focus on the importance of advocacy to advance pharmacy priorities and opportunities to evolve and expand services.
'ThoughtSpot celebrates the essential role community pharmacies play as accessible healthcare destinations while giving us the opportunity to connect with our Good Neighbor Pharmacy members, learn from their successes and challenges, and collaborate as we navigate the evolving pharmacy landscape,' said Tim Cernohous, SVP & President of Community Retail and Long-Term Care Pharmacy at Cencora. 'Pharmacists are facing increasing pressures, and our research shows that patients' needs are shifting – they want the convenience of a digitally enhanced customer experience with traditional in-person touchpoints, including access to a pharmacist.
'We are dedicated to supporting customers as they work to achieve an omni-channel experience, integrating digital enhancements with the benefits of in-person interaction to help pharmacies elevate their customer experience. With personalized coaching, data-driven insights and innovative tools, Good Neighbor Pharmacy is here to support its members every step of the way in shaping the future of pharmacy.'
During ThoughtSpot, the 2025 Good Neighbor Pharmacy Champion Awards winners were announced, honoring three pharmacies for exceptional leadership in advocacy, clinical care and storytelling. The awards celebrate pharmacies that go above and beyond to advance the profession, improve patient care and inspire others, underpinning the critical role they play as accessible sites of care in their communities.
This year's winners are:
2025 Advocacy Champion: The Apothecary Shoppe of Salt Lake City, Utah was honored as the 2025 Advocacy Champion for the exceptional leadership of its owner and pharmacist, Kevin DeMass, whose unwavering dedication to advocating for independent pharmacies and meaningful healthcare reform at the local, state and federal levels has made a profound impact. Through his tireless efforts, DeMass has worked to safeguard patient access to care and ensure the long-term success of the profession, inspiring others across the industry to join in shaping a stronger future for independent pharmacy.
2025 Clinical Care Champion: McDowell's Pharmacy of Scotland Neck, N.C., led by owner and fourth-generation pharmacist Thomas McDowell, was chosen as the 2025 Clinical Care Champion for its century-long commitment to serving the rural community of Scotland Neck. In addition, the pharmacy's innovative approach to improving health outcomes in a medically underserved rural community through pharmacist-led clinical services, including a successful Remote Patient Monitoring program, has helped transform chronic disease management for patients with hypertension and diabetes.
2025 Storytelling Champion: Cypress Wellness Pharmacy of Fort Myers, Fla., led by owner and pharmacist, Justin Ceravolo, was chosen as the 2025 Storytelling Champion for its innovative approach to reaching customers through strategic marketing. In addition, the pharmacy has excelled at tailoring its services to meet the evolving needs of the Fort Myers community, expanding from a traditional focus on older adults to offering family-friendly care, holistic wellness options and even pet medications to serve a more diverse audience and cement the pharmacy as a cornerstone for care.
'Kevin, Thomas and Justin, along with their peers that make up Good Neighbor Pharmacy, are true champions of their communities' health,' said Jenni Zilka, SVP, Community & Specialty Pharmacy and President of Good Neighbor Pharmacy. 'It is a privilege to stand alongside these independent pharmacies and support them in navigating unique industry challenges, helping them expand their services, strengthen their businesses and continue to provide high-quality care to their patients.

PagerDuty Named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for AIOps for Fourth Consecutive Year
Analyst report distinguishes PagerDuty's faster-than-market development pace in automation, incident intelligence and workflow orchestration SAN FRANCISCO, August 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PagerDuty (NYSE:PD), a global leader in digital operations management, today announced it has been named a Leader and Outperformer in the 2025 GigaOm Radar for AIOps for the fourth consecutive year. The annual report positions PagerDuty AIOps in the Innovation half of the GigaOm Radar, based on the company's focus on frequent product updates, expanding automation capabilities and an AI-centric approach to human-in-the-loop decision making. Read the full GigaOm Radar for AIOps and learn more about PagerDuty AIOps here. PagerDuty Strengths Correlation and Causality Analysis: Strong event correlation capabilities group together related incidents using time-series analysis, machine learning and historical incident context. This enables IT operations teams to reduce noise and accelerate triage in dynamic service environments. Automated Remediation: Supports automation through PagerDuty's Runbook Automation and Process Automation features, allowing users to define self-healing workflows and auto-responses to common incident types. Operations teams can experience significantly improved operational resilience and reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) without requiring deep integrations with external tools. SIEM and SOAR Integration: Meets the needs of converged security operations, or SecOps, environments through integrations with numerous security and IT toolchains, including popular Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platforms, to enable coordinated incident response across security and operations teams. The sixth annual GigaOm Radar for AIOps examines 33 of the top AIOps solutions. Together with the companion Key Criteria report, GigaOm provides an overview of the market, identifies leading AIOps offerings and helps decision-makers evaluate these solutions so they can make a more informed investment decision. Anaplan, a leading connected planning platform, implemented PagerDuty AIOps to streamline its incident management process and experienced a 95% improvement in detecting and addressing incidents. With PagerDuty, the company saves an estimated $250,000 per year by reducing the time to detect issues from two to three hours to five minutes, and the time to address critical incidents from three hours to under 30 minutes.

Supporting Quotes "PagerDuty's distinction as a Leader and Outperformer for four consecutive years illustrates how we continue to redefine what modern operations can look like in the era of AI and automation," said David Williams, senior vice president of product at PagerDuty. "When powered by AI and automation, operational resilience requires less attention from development teams who can instead reinvest saved time in innovation to drive business growth. Delivering a seamless customer experience with ongoing service availability not only defines digital operations today, but is also a strong contributor to driving business value." "AIOps continues to evolve beyond just delivering AI-driven insights to include connecting data, context and action across the entire IT landscape," said Dr. Shane Archiquette, industry research analyst at GigaOm. "PagerDuty's continuous expansion of event correlation, automated remediation and AI-driven incident response features positions the company ahead of many peers that are evolving more conservatively in the AIOps space."

With PagerDuty AIOps, we're able to leverage AI to help identify and resolve issues much more quickly, enabling us to deploy strategies that are the most meaningful, most targeted and most focused," said Gandhi Kumar, principal incident commander at Twilio.

SITE Centers Announces Two Sales and Special Common Distribution
BEACHWOOD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE: SITC) announced today the sale of Winter Garden Village (Orlando, FL) for $165.0 million and the sale of Deer Valley Towne Center (Phoenix, AZ) for $33.7 million, both prior to closing costs, prorations and other closing adjustments. A portion of net proceeds were used to repay $22.3 million of mortgage debt. The Company's Board of Directors also declared a special cash distribution on its common shares of $3.25 per common share payable on August 29, 2025 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2025. Because the payment of the special dividend represents more than 25% of the price of the Company's common shares, NYSE has advised the Company that its common shares will trade with 'due bills' representing an assignment of the right to receive the special dividend from the record date of August 15, 2025 through the closing of trading on NYSE on August 29, 2025, which is the payment date and the last day of trading before the September 2, 2025 ex-dividend date (this period of time representing the 'Dividend Right Period'). Shareholders who sell their common shares during the Dividend Right Period will be selling their right to the special dividend, and such shareholders will not be entitled to receive the special dividend. Due bills obligate a seller of common shares to deliver the special dividend payable on such common shares to the buyer (the 'Dividend Right'). The record date of August 15, 2025 will be used as the date for establishing the due bill tracking of the Dividend Right to the holder of common shares. Due bill obligations are customarily settled between the brokers representing the buyers and the sellers of shares. The Company has no obligation for either the amount of the due bill or the processing of the due bill. Buyers and sellers of the Company's common shares should consult their brokers before trading to be sure they understand the effect of NYSE's due bill procedures. About SITE Centers Corp. SITE Centers is an owner and manager of open-air shopping centers located primarily in suburban, high household income communities. The Company is a self-administered and self-managed REIT operating as a fully integrated real estate company, and is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SITC.
