Dargavel Medal Award

This award recognizes individuals who have provided exemplary and sustained support of the causes, issues, and programs that strengthen independent pharmacy. The award is given annually by The NCPA Foundation to honor those whose contributions on behalf of independent pharmacy embody the spirit of leadership and accomplishment personified by John W. Dargavel, who was executive secretary of the National Association of Retail Druggists (NARD), now NCPA, from 1933 to 1961. (The Foundation was established in 1953 to honor Dargavel.)
