Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines has opened the Methodist Atrium Pharmacy,, according to a May 29 report from CBS affiliate KCCI.
The pharmacy is located at the hospital and is open to the public. Patients do not need an existing relationship with UnityPoint Health to use its services.
The new location will provide a convenient option for patients after clinic appointments and support UnityPoint Health–Des Moines’ Meds to Beds program, which delivers prescription medications to patients at discharge, Brian Benson, PharmD, executive director of pharmacy for UnityPoint Health–Des Moines, told KCCI.
The pharmacy will also operate as a milk depot in partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank of Iowa, distributing donated breast milk.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
