Why is our pharmacy team at Terrebonne General Health System smiling? They’ve been named Best Pharmacy in the “Bayou’s Best Awards” for 2024. How big is that? There are about 10 other pharmacies in the general Houma, LA area. Not only do they have a location-convenience advantage over our hospital-campus pharmacy, we’ve only been in operation since July of last year! In a personal note to the team, Terrebone CEO Phyllis Peoples wrote, “Your team’s role in the success of our Meds To Beds program, ensuring patients leave with their prescriptions in hand, has had a profound impact on patient care and satisfaction.” SO proud! And so grateful for the dedication you have, every day, for serving our patients. Congratulations, everyone! #Healthcare #Pharmacy #Community

Not only is October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, last Friday was Go Pink Day - - - just in case you’re wondering why the fine folks with our pharmacy at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital look so dashing. They even managed to ensure Richard Thomas brought the proper attire for his visit that day. Great work, everybody! #Healthcare #Mission #PinkOctober #BreastCancerAwareness

Here’s a shout-out from Becky Clark that’s too good NOT to share: “This is Rachel Dodd, a Pharmacy Tech at St. Vincent’s Birmingham location. Rachel is a natural born leader, and the kind of talent we work to develop at every ProxsysRx Pharmacy. I recently watched her take control during a server crash on a very busy Friday. Not only did she stay focused and on track herself, she kept everyone else working steady — so that we never got too far behind. Rachel has a heart for people. With every phone call she answers, and with every patient walking through our doors, her care and concern is felt by everyone in the room.” How could we not be proud of this organization, and grateful for the good people who make us what we are! #Healthcare #Pharmacy #Community #WhatInspiresMe

“Impact” is ProxsysRx’s 30-day readmission reduction program, using a clinical pharmacist in collaboration with a nursing team. It starts at discharge, when the pharmacist conducts a Comprehensive Medication Review bedside — and it continues with a Patient Coordinator / Nurse reaching-out to a patient at least four times over the course of 30 days, post-discharge In the program’s first month, for patients enrolled in the program, readmissions were 55% lower than the health system’s historical rates. In 10 months, the health system saved $486,400 (a figure based on DHS’s estimated average readmission costs), and patient satisfaction among those enrolled was rated 9.77 out of 10.

October is Pharmacy Month, and at ProxsysRx, thanks to a great term coined by Pharmacist In Charge Karen Rhodes at RMC in Anniston, every day is Pharmily Day! #Healthcare #Pharmacy #Community #WhatInspiresMe

Here’s the team ProxsysRx sponsored last Wednesday for the Regional Medical Center Foundation’s Annual Golf Classic in Anniston. It’s a great event for the health of RMC’s community. 100% of the proceeds go to benefit local health initiatives. Special thanks to Billy Calhoun, Courtney Fisher, Abby Salem and Adam Hyche for making the supreme sacrifice of taking-off a day of work to play golf together! ;) #Healthcare #Mission #Anniston #Community

Here’s Lauren Robinson (L) and Heather Brooks (R) with ProxsysRx Board Member Rebecca Shanahan at the National Association Of Specialty Pharmacy Meeting & Expo yesterday. Lauren and Heather have done such exceptional work managing our specialty pharmacy projects, and Rebecca has a long history in specialty pharmacy space. Their attendance at the NASP Expo should give our specialty pharmacy clients even more confidence that their best interests are in good hands! #Healthcare #Mission #340B #SpecialtyPharmacy

If you plan to attend the National Association Of Specialty Pharmacy’s Meeting & Expo next week, be sure to look for Lauren Robinson and Heather Brooks! #Healthcare #Mission #SpecialtyPharmacy

We spend so much time recognizing the work our pharmacists, techs and patient advocates do, but in a very real sense, our Front End Coordinators are the face of ProxsysRx’s pharmacies. And so for Pharmacy Week, we’d like to pay special thanks to everyone who goes above and beyond, every day, to make our patients and customers feel special. Which brings us to Lisa Smith, who put-together this lovely Open House surprise for the good people doing business with us at Ascension St. Vincent Birmingham. Lisa has such a heart for people, and it would be hard to overemphasize how much we appreciate her. Thank you, Lisa! #Healthcare #Patients #Pharmacy #Mission

Let’s hear it for HRSA standing-up to the drug manufacturers, for a change! Johnson & Johnson recently informed 340B hospitals that, beginning Oct. 15, it would only offer 340B discounts on top-selling drugs Stelara and Xarelto — prompting nearly 190 bipartisan members of the U.S. House of Representatives to urge HRSA to “use every enforcement tool” at its disposal against J&J’s “unapproved and unlawful” 340B rebate proposal. Sure enough, last Friday the agency sent J&J a letter threatening to terminate its Pharmaceutical Pricing Agreement — which would end Medicaid and Medicare Part B coverage for all J&J drugs — if it didn’t abandon its unapproved plans. Long overdue action, if you asked us — But hey, it’s a start!
