Specialty Pharmacists

Pharmacist with patient

Our specialty pharmacists concentrate their work in specific clinics and departments, allowing them to provide detailed information about the medications prescribed for you. They are available to meet with you during your clinic visits and can be contacted directly to answer your medication questions.

They are part of your care team and have an advantage over outside specialty pharmacies. They can access your health record and health care team to help manage your medicines. As part of your care team, our pharmacists share concerns about your medicines with your doctor.
