We are happy to announce the much-anticipated Grand Opening of our brand-new full-service on site medical pharmacy on Thursday, September 21. The pharmacy is operated by Genoa Healthcare in partnership with RCMS.
A Dedicated Team Our dedicated pharmacist is already on-site, and Genoa Healthcare is actively seeking a skilled pharmacy technician to join their ranks. Together, they will form the backbone of the pharmacy team. Setting the Standard for Communication The Grand Opening day kicks off with an internal meeting, bringing together our pharmacy staff, Genoa leadership, and esteemed providers. This session will focus on establishing clear and effective communication protocols to guarantee seamless collaboration in patient care. Engaging the Community and Elected Leaders We extend an open invitation to our local community and esteemed elected leaders to grace this momentous occasion. Board member Hall Kelly is spearheading our Grand Opening communication efforts, which will also include feature articles in the ICO, among other initiatives. NextGen Technology and Beyond Our pharmacist is well-versed in our NextGen electronic health records system, ensuring that we stay at the forefront of healthcare technology. Additionally, she will serve as our Urgent Care pharmacy auditor, further bolstering the quality of our services. Simplifying Prescription Transfers We understand the importance of a seamless transition. To that end, we're in the process of establishing a user-friendly system that guides our community on transferring their prescriptions from their current pharmacy to our new facility. Your health and well-being are our top priorities. Accessible Hours for Your Convenience Starting September 21, our pharmacy will be open from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday. A Full-Service Experience Our pharmacy is more than just a place to pick up your prescriptions. It's a complete healthcare hub, staffed by a licensed pharmacist who is committed to your well-being. In time, we plan to expand our services to include vaccinations, further cementing our role in promoting a healthy community. Dedicated to Your Health It's important to note that while we offer a comprehensive range of prescription medications, we won't stock over-the-counter drugs typically found in local grocery stores. Our focus is squarely on providing specialized care tailored to your specific needs and is not a commercial pharmacy. 340(b) Program Pharmacy In line with our commitment to accessible healthcare, our new pharmacy will also participate in the 340(b) program, ensuring that essential medications are available to those who need them most. Join us on September 21, as we open our doors and welcome you to a new service of comprehensive medical pharmacy care. Your well-being is our priority, and we are always looking at ways to grow and expand our ability to better serve you and the community as a whole.
