VerusRx salutes Black History Month with a tribute

VerusRx salutes Black History Month with a tribute to African American pharmacists who broke barriers and made significant contributions to our field.

in 1908, Anna Louise James was the first Black woman to graduate from the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. She was also one of the very first Black women to become a licensed pharmacist in the United States.

After graduation, Anna went to Connecticut to work at her brother-in-law’s pharmacy. When World War I broke out, her brother-in-law was called into action. Anna took over the pharmacy in 1917 and ran it successfully until 1967. Over those 50 years, James and her pharmacy gained a reputation for generosity, finding ways to get people their medication even if they couldn’t always pay.

Anna's story became an inspiration for other Black women who were considering a career in pharmacy in the decades to follow. In 1994, the James Pharmacy was honored with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

“As we shape the future of our company's customer experience,” Robert states, “it's essential to evaluate the latest trends in member engagement strategies and incorporate those that we believe will benefit our constituents. This focus is central to our company’s success and customer satisfaction. Advancements in AI are evolving nearly every day, including AI-driven chatbots, advanced analytics, and omni-channel platforms. Partnering with GoodCall to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities into our service model has been a great opportunity.”

The senior team at VerusRx believes incorporating outcomes from real-world case studies is a vital tool. Sharing experiences is crucial for sparking new ideas. Additionally, they will explore how iterative processes and feedback loops can help the team continually measure and improve member satisfaction.

Robert concludes, “As anyone in healthcare can attest, our industry must never lose focus on human interaction. Building a customer-first culture is at the core of everything we do.”

Robert invites all convention attendees to the Exhibit Hall on Wednesday morning for a kick-off discussion with GoodCall CEO Bob Summers.

Unlocking Care: The Obesity Treatment Debate T

Unlocking Care: The Obesity Treatment Debate

The landscape of obesity treatment is rapidly changing, and at the center of it all are semaglutide medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, which are becoming household names. However, this comes at a cost—literally. The financial burden of these drugs keeps climbing, leading to a significant class action lawsuit that accuses healthcare providers of discrimination against those struggling with obesity. This legal action could signal the start of a wave of challenges for insurers and health plans in the near future.

As demand for these life-changing medications surges—thanks in no small part to their effectiveness and the buzz surrounding them—insurance providers face mounting pressure to rethink their coverage policies. The stakes have never been higher, and insurers may soon find themselves responding to legal mandates and an increasingly informed and vocal public demanding access.

For employers navigating the intricacies of health plans, now is the time to take a closer look at the coverage options available for obesity treatment. A thorough review can illuminate what is covered and what isn’t, empowering employers to refine their healthcare strategies. This proactive strategy will improve resource management for employee health and guarantee access to the medications they need. And let’s not forget—considering alternative funding options could be a game-changer, making these critical treatments more accessible while potentially lowering costs for everyone involved.

Don’t navigate this complex landscape alone. Contact VERUSRx today to discover how to protect and optimize your pharmacy strategy while exploring alternative funding options that benefit your plan and your employees.
