A Proactive Approach

The Pharmacy has created many innovative programs, some in conjunction with other departments. These include:

• A poison prevention program.
  
  
• A highly successful cold medicine package.
  
  
• An insulin syringe/needle reclamation program to diminish potential abuse and spread of disease.
  
  
• A home blood glucose monitoring distribution program.
  
  
• A medication administration guide for patients with complicated, multiple drug treatment regimens.
  
  
• A "BYOB" (bring-your-own-bag) program in which patients are encouraged to bring collected medications to the pharmacy where staff checks the assortment for age, indication of use, and other problems.
