January 16, 2025- Ascension recognizes the more than 3,000 mission-driven pharmacy professionals in its health system who work around the clock to provide medications to our diverse patient population. Working together with our providers and our community, we’re leading the way in patient trust and quality care, including when it comes to outpatient medication needs.
Not only do pharmacists dispense medications and provide patient education, but they also have an important role to help to ensure the rational and cost-effective use of prescription medication for patients. Increasing medication costs negatively impact patient care, and our pharmacists work diligently to make sure all patients receive proper care and affordable medications. Our pharmacy system, Ascension Rx, provides patients with a personalized approach to confidentially and safely meet their needs, including home delivery and outpatient specialty pharmacy medications to better reach our most vulnerable populations.
