Buffalo, N.Y.-based Catholic Health has launched a specialty pharmacy program in Niagara County, N.Y.
Three details:
1. The health system first launched specialty pharmacy services in July in Erie County (N.Y.) to better serve patients with chronic cardiac, endocrine and gynecological conditions, according to a March 11 news release.
2. Catholic Health is working with specialty pharmacy services provider CPS to offer the program across several of its Niagara County clinics and physician practices.
3. The program offers patients free clinical, financial and counseling support services.
"So many times, we see patients missing out on their highest quality of life because of the seemingly overwhelming circumstances managing high-cost specialty medications," said Joyce Markiewicz, executive vice president and chief business development officer at Catholic Health. "We hear their concerns, and we are pleased we are able to expand our specialty pharmacy program to patients throughout Niagara County."
