Mr. Jenkins is responsible for multi-hospital pharmacy services anchored by an 865-bed academic medical center, including a children’s hospital, community hospitals, ambulatory clinics, long-term care facilities, outpatient infusion, and retail and specialty pharmacy services. His oversight spans clinical and operational services, 340B integrity, pharmacy informatics, regulatory compliance, investigational drug services and a workforce of more than 450 team members across more than 20 pharmacy locations. During his first two and a half years at VCU Health, specialty pharmacy has grown more than 50%, ambulatory retail pharmacy more than 30%, and home delivery services have doubled, creating critical access points for Virginia’s largest safety-net hospital. He helped establish a systemwide medication history program and expanded meds-to-beds efforts that exceeded targeted capture rates. Mr. Jenkins also led VCU Health’s acquisition of Hope Pharmacy to prevent a pharmacy desert in the region. He previously served as senior director of pharmacy services at Charlottesville, Va.-based UVA Health and is a recipient of the “Distinguished Alumni Award” from Auburn University’s Harrison School of Pharmacy.
