OnePoint Patient Care, an independent specialty pharmacy serving hospice patients, announced today that it has moved its Oklahoma operation to a larger, more centrally located facility in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area to help it better meet the demands of its growing base of hospice partners in Oklahoma. The new pharmacy, which is conveniently located in Yukon, will allow it to better serve its existing hospice partners in the Oklahoma City area and gives it the additional capacity it needs to expand its services to Tulsa and other parts of the state.
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.
“Our belief is that the hospice community has unique needs that are best met by a local, dedicated hospice pharmacy. We are investing heavily in infrastructure and people in Oklahoma and other areas of the country to provide the level of clinical expertise and responsiveness that the hospice community demands,” said Jeffrey Hohl, President and Chief Operating Officer of OnePoint Patient Care.
“Our new Oklahoma pharmacy will allow us to implement state-of-the-art technologies and workflow efficiencies that will ensure superior prescription accuracy and cost management, as well as the prompt deliveries and personalized service that Oklahoma hospices cannot find anywhere else,” added Jody Herren, President of OnePoint Patient Care’s Oklahoma Division.
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.”
