OnePoint Patient Care Expands Into Larger Nevada Facility in Response to Growing Demand From Its Hospice Partners

Posted on: Friday, 26 September 2008, 09:00 CDT

OnePoint Patient Care, an independent specialty pharmacy serving hospice patients, announced today it has moved its Nevada pharmacy to a larger facility that will help it better meet the demands of its growing base of hospice partners in the state. The new pharmacy, which is located in south Las Vegas, gives OnePoint the increased capacity and improved operational efficiencies it needs to provide its hospice partners a full complement of services and superior service levels that no other specialty pharmacy can provide.

OnePoint Patient Care is the nation's leading local hospice pharmacy services provider, filling prescriptions, creating custom compounds and providing home deliveries for an average of 7,500 patients per day. The pharmacy's local operations provide 24-hour accessibility, personal interaction, accurate prescriptions and prompt delivery, allowing hospices to get patients their medications quickly, simply and reliably.

"As we have taken on more hospice partners in Nevada and their needs have evolved, we have been enhancing our services to provide all of the prescription dispensing and clinical expertise they need, coupled with exceptional delivery capabilities and the most innovative cost management programs," said Jeffrey Hohl, President and Chief Operating Officer of OnePoint Patient Care.

"Our team members are extremely excited to begin servicing our hospice partners from our new state-of-the-art facility," added Michael Porpora, President of OnePoint Patient Care's Nevada Division. "Our centralized location further enhances our ability to provide hospices with the prompt and efficient delivery services they have grown to expect from us."

OnePoint has been serving Arizona hospice patients for more than 20 years. Building on its dominant position there, it acquired pharmacies and began serving hospices in Nevada in 2007 and Oklahoma in early 2008. The company plans to expand into other states in the coming year.

"We have established ourselves as the premier specialty hospice pharmacy by delivering unique and cost-effective pharmacy products and services, enabling extraordinary hospice care," said James A. Otterbeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OnePoint Patient Care. "We are experiencing explosive growth due to the tremendous enthusiasm our locally driven business model is generating in the hospice market. We plan on building on these successful partnerships with hospice by doubling the number of local markets we serve with custom compounding and delivery by the end of 2009."
