Recap from tonight's #IPAGoesLocal Event in Spencer, IA! IPA's VP of Professional Affairs, Ryan M. and Executive Fellow, George Appleseth, PharmD, kicked off the day by visiting OneroRx's Community Pharmacy in Sac City, where we spoke with pharmacist Makayla Niehaus and her team about their incredible work advancing patient care. Next, we stopped at Thrifty White Pharmacy in Spencer to meet with Elizabeth Berberich, who shared how her team navigated the summer flooding, which caused a near-total shutdown of community services. They used creative solutions with the help of community resources to ensure patients received their medications. We also learned about their value-based services for managing acute and chronic conditions, vaccinations, and the success of their Technician Product Verification Program. Our journey continued with a visit to Spencer Hospital, where we met pharmacists Marisa Zweifel, PharmD, BCPS and Lacey Ferguson PharmD, BCPS to hear about the forward-thinking initiatives in inpatient and ambulatory care. The evening wrapped up with Dr. James Ray, PharmD, CPE, who presented on the importance of providing Whole-Person Care for People Living with Dementia. Thank you to all attendees who helped make this #IPAGoesLocal tour stop a success!
