DES MOINES, Iowa – Care Initiatives and Hartig Drug Co. announced the formation of TrueMed Pharmacy.
Through this venture, Care Initiatives’ skilled nursing communities will have access to local, Iowa-based pharmacy providers and 100 years of pharmacy experience brought by Hartig Drug Company. This experience will help Care Initiatives to drive quality with improved medication delivery.
“We are looking forward to this partnership,” said Care Initiatives’ CEO, Mike Beal. “Their focus on delivering quality with a team centered approach aligns perfectly with our mission to provide the highest quality care. Further, an Iowa-based provider has more awareness and understanding of the logistics involved in serving our locations in rural markets.”
“Our partnership combines skilled nursing care and pharmacy expertise that will elevate patient care through a local infrastructure, focus on customer service, and provides first-hand knowledge of Iowa long-term care facilities,” said TrueMed Executive Director Chris Dardis. “I am excited about this opportunity to make a difference in an industry that takes care of some of the most vulnerable in the community.”
TrueMed facilities are located in Hiawatha, Iowa, and Urbandale, Iowa. Locations were selected based on proximity to Care Initiatives facilities to provide more efficient and convenient care.
