🎂 Happy Birthday, Fresenius Group! "If not us, then who?" - Else Kröner's powerful words have guided Fresenius for over a century, and today, as we celebrate our 111th birthday, they resonate more strongly than ever. Else Kröner turned her stepfather’s medium-sized business into an international pharmaceutical company, thus laying the foundation of the Fresenius that we know today.
Reaching today’s historical milestone fills me with pride, but it also reminds me of the responsibility and obligation to lead this great company into a successful future. And this is what we have already initiated with our #FutureFresenius journey. Together, we build on Else Kröner's vision and fulfill our purpose of advancing patient care.

🎉🎈Happy 111th Birthday, Fresenius!
Today, we celebrate 111 years of commitment to saving lives and improving the quality of life of critically and chronically ill patients. From our humble beginnings in 1912, when Dr. Eduard Fresenius founded the company in the back of his pharmacy to Else Kröner, née Fernau, taking over her stepfather’s legacy in 1952 – it’s been an incredible journey.
We’re excited to continue our pathway to #FutureFresenius and look forward to writing the next chapter of our story.

Happy Team Tuesday, meet our wonderful Lori (aka, if you didn’t see our recent post… our 2023 Company Excellence Award Winner). Lori is originally from Ohio and has lived in Florida for 26 years. Her family is in Ohio, including her one (very loved and adored) granddaughter. One thing Lori always say is “It doesn’t matter what day of the week it is I am happy if it is Monday or Friday. Today is the day that the Lord has made, and I try to live it joyful.” And if you’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting Lori at a show or in the field, you’d attest that she truly embodies this positivity in every interaction!
Here's what Lori had to say about her favorite Milestone Instrument…
“Having the opportunity to join Milestone after being a histotechnologist for 20 years is one of my best decisions; now I can provide laboratories with the best instruments on the market. Milestone Medical has so many innovative instruments that bring great benefit to any laboratory, it is hard to choose one [we couldn’t agree more], but if I had to choose one it would be the DecalMATE. Decalcifying bone marrow core biopsies is still today in most labs a manual process and a “guessing game”. Too long or too short of time in decal effects the end results for proper diagnosis and prognosis for any patient needing treatment. Not to mention it makes it easier for the Histotechs to cut the bone and saves on turnaround time. The quicker and more accurate the physician gets the results the better for the patient. Time to optimize and standardize the process.
Thanks for being an outstanding member of our team, Lori!
The fight for fair reimbursement isn’t about #independentpharmacy versus #chainpharmacy—America needs both, with each serving its unique purpose. One of my favorite pharmacists, Dr. Mak (aka the “Superman Pharmacist”) so eloquently illustrates this in this video clip.
The mistake businesspeople sometimes make is falsely assuming that pharmacy is strictly a transactional business. Pharmacy can be transactional, but often isn’t. While some patients just want to hit the CVS drive-thru, others are more medically complex and need a higher degree of counseling to ensure no contraindications to medications, and/or that they are using their medications appropriately. This becomes increasingly important as we age, where the number of prescriptions we’re taking, potential side effects risk and preexisting health conditions grow.
We need independent pharmacy to survive. And we especially need to ensure that we align Medicare reimbursement in such a way as to not disincentivize the type of high-touch, hands-on care that many of these Independent Pharmacies excel at.

5 years ago, I resigned from my job at Pfizer to become a full-time wedding/event planner. Little did I know that a detour lied ahead as a community needed its independent pharmacy back to help it get through a pandemic.
Shortly after re-opening Skippack Pharmacy, I was flying out to California to receive the Pharmacy Times award at the American Pharmacists Association conference and 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒂 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈, 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒍𝒚𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒑𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒎𝒚 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅.
She was looking for a flu shot and had no one available or willing to come to her home.
I saw an opportunity to stick up for patients like my grandmother who needed extra care; I saw an opportunity to stand up for small business in a world dominated by large chains;
At a time where one pharmacy is closing each day in America, I saw an opportunity to stand up & advocate for communities/pharmacies who were being destroyed by pharmacy benefit managers who put profits over patients.
The road hasn’t been easy...but the smiles, hugs, letters, and love from the thousands of patient families who entrust us with their lives will keep us going and work through all this.
Here we are five years since I shared that story at the award ceremony.

No matter where you are, celebrate your small businesses whenever you can, for one day, if they aren’t there, there may be a huge void.

"As physicians, we have direct control over our actions and interactions. Although I am gratified when patients are satisfied with my care, I recognize that I am not the only one providing their care. Rather, it is a collective effort by my staff and me. My staff is an extension of myself. In building a practice, finding like-minded individuals who embody the same level of respect for patients is a challenging yet critical task."

Reflecting on Service and Sacrifice This Memorial Day 🇺🇸
As we approach Memorial Day, it's a time not just for barbecues and the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, a day to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom 🕊️.
For professionals like those in the life sciences and healthcare industry, this day resonates deeply. It’s a reminder of the parallels between the commitments made by our armed forces and our own commitments to service and excellence in our field. The dedication required to excel in the demanding world of pharmaceuticals, navigating complex regulations and ensuring the safety and efficacy of treatments, mirrors the dedication of our servicemen and women.
This Memorial Day, let us pause to acknowledge the sacrifices that enable us to live in freedom and to pursue advancements in medical science and healthcare 🌟. Let’s also reflect on how we, as part of this industry, can honor their legacy through our commitment to improving patient outcomes and upholding the highest standards of integrity and quality in our work.
How does Memorial Day inspire you to reflect on your own professional and personal commitments? How do you see your role in healthcare contributing to a legacy of service?

WE'RE OFFICIALLY LIVE.
Worthy Warrior was created by patients for patients.
Sometimes you need someone who gets it the way you do. Someone who keeps the same binder of medical records and has the same pre-appointment hype routine… someone to tell you that actually is not normal.
When you’ve suffered to know end, go to someone who knows Endo.
When you need a safe place to talk, go to a place where the community welcomes you.
When you need to be reminded that your experiences matter, turn to Worthy Warrior.
Worthy Warrior is a community for all the Warriors who want to transform how Endo is treated in medicine and improve life for people with Endo – for themselves and the future. It starts with education and is founded on community, validation, and shared experience.
It’s a culture that embraces Endometriosis and pelvic pain patients with support, solutions, and education. We help people recognize their symptoms and provide a place to discuss their options. It’s a platform for those who know Endo to share their experiences.
