“That future involves not only pharmacists operating at the top of their licensure, but it also includes a focus on the total store’s overall contribution to health and wellness, as exemplified by efforts such as NACDS’ support for “food is medicine” initiatives.” Pharmacy professionals need to stop being so transactional and start thinking about the consumer and consumer demands/behaviors. Take risks and connect across the healthcare spectrum. https://lnkd.in/eET4Gztc. #healthandwellness #wellness #integrativehealth

🚀 ICYMI 🌟 Elevance Health CarelonRx has made waves by acquiring Kroger Specialty Pharmacy, signaling a potential shake-up in the healthcare industry.

As pharmacies are increasingly being seen as places to receive minor healthcare, and with new perspectives on community pharmacy emerging on both retailer and consumer ends, that calls for new models and mindsets. Installing pharmacies as a broader location to receive certain types of care (like immunizations, wellness checks, screenings, etc.) can lift a bit of burden off the traditional healthcare system, as well as provide patients with a more accessible and affordable outlet for vital preventative care and treatment of mild ailments. The important aspect of this is that we continue to upgrade and prepare pharmacies for these tasks, instead of expecting them to have these capabilities without providing resources and training. #Pharmacies #PharmacyHealthcare #Healthcare #PatientAccess

Did you know that Oregon has the second-fewest retail pharmacies per capita in the nation? "Oregon had 610 retail pharmacies statewide as of February, amounting to just 14.4 pharmacies per 100,000 people...And that number is falling," reports Antonio Sierra and Amelia Templeton. In fact, 36 pharmacies closed last year, and several more have already closed in 2024. This is why we believe independent pharmacies are so important at IPC. Everyone deserves access to a pharmacy that can truly take care of their needs... and it's hard for pharmacies to meet this need when they have so many patients. It's also important to note that when people lose access to pharmacies, they may be losing access to any nearby healthcare facility, leaving them with next to no healthcare options at all. #PharmaNews #IndependentPharmacy #Healthcare
