Convenient, personal care with virtual pharmacy appointments
A 71-year-old Army Veteran is using virtual pharmacy appointments to manage her care. She connects with a clinical pharmacy specialist through VA Video Connect, a secure videoconferencing app. This service allows her to receive personalized care from the comfort of her own location.
The TelePharmacy program is behind this service, connecting Veterans with remote pharmacy specialists. This is particularly helpful for those living in rural areas or areas without a local pharmacy specialist. Further details about the program and its availability are available from the source.
It is known to be available in selected areas across the country, with specialists like Dr. Felicia Gerfin providing care to Veterans in other locations.
