Dr. Vreeland provides executive leadership over Boston Children’s Hospital’s department of pharmacy, which has more than 200 employees providing advanced pharmacy services around the clock. She also serves as a member of the organization’s senior management group. The department is responsible for medication therapy management, housewide order review, medication distribution, drug information, pharmacokinetic services, code response and antimicrobial stewardship. Her leadership was essential to launching an integrated specialty pharmacy program through a collaboration with Shields Health Solutions, designed to support patients with rare and complex illnesses by assisting with prior authorizations, financial assistance and other barriers to care. To support that launch, Dr. Vreeland oversaw the relocation of the hospital’s patient-facing pharmacy to a new, independent location that does not require families to navigate the hospital, accomplished without interruption to prescription services. She was also instrumental in opening a specialty pharmacy on the Longwood campus and implementing a collaborative drug therapy management pharmacist program to improve safety and speed access to high-cost therapies. Before joining Boston Children’s in 2022, she spent more than 23 years at Boston Medical Center, ultimately as associate chief pharmacy officer.
