Christensen Named 2025 CPESN® USA Outstanding Network Facilitator
GARNER, NC, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CPESN® USA, a clinically integrated, nationwide organization of pharmacy networks created to advance community-based pharmacy practice, announced Lindsay Christensen, Pharm.D., as the recipient of the 2025 CPESN® Outstanding Network Facilitator Award. The award is proudly sponsored by Compliant Pharmacy Alliance.
Christensen has served as the Managing Network Facilitator for the CPESN® Minnesota network since 2020. Her work in provider enrollment and credentialing has enabled CPESN Minnesota’s 126 community-based pharmacies to be reimbursed for clinical services under the medical benefit.
“CPESN USA continues to thrive thanks to the outstanding leadership within its local networks,” said Cody Clifton, Pharm.D., Director of Practice Transformation and Clinical Programs at CPESN USA. “Network Facilitators are instrumental in supporting community pharmacies and driving meaningful transformation. Lindsay Christensen stands out as a dedicated and impactful leader—her commitment to advancing community pharmacy in Minnesota and nationally makes her truly deserving of this honor.”
Christensen spearheaded the development of a CMS-compliant Medication Therapy Management service model that broadened access for CPESN pharmacies and led to a successful CMS audit.
“Lindsay Christensen is widely viewed as a leader and a positive force for change in Minnesota pharmacy,” said Steve Simenson, B.Pharm., Managing Partner of Goodrich Pharmacy, and CPESN Minnesota Lead Luminary. “She brings hope and delivers the tools necessary to not only provide great patient care but also get paid fairly for it.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she built relationships with the Minnesota Department of Health and county health departments across the state to ensure that CPESN MN pharmacies were consistently recognized by healthcare professionals as vital partners in vaccinating Minnesotans.
“Because of Lindsay Christensen’s ability to foster and maintain strong relationships, our network has enjoyed a four-year partnership with a major health plan in Minnesota,” said Paul Iverson, B.Pharm., founder of Iverson Corner Drug in Bemidji, Minnesota, and a CPESN Minnesota Luminary. “Last year that relationship generated around $300,000 in revenue for our members and the network.”
