In Omaha, there are not many pharmacists that speak Spanish. We are proud to have six of our pharmacists as well as many Pharmacy Techs and front desk staff that are fluent Spanish speakers. “I live in the community and people recognize you around town. They wave and say hello. Everyone is so friendly.” - Angelo Gonzaga, Pharmacy Manager OneWorld Pharmacy staff started a patient fund. Staff are able to purchase soda and other beverages and all of the money raised is used to help patients. If a patient is struggling and is a few dollars short on their bill, our pharmacy team uses the funds to help cover the difference. Fund development by the organization also helps with medication costs. “As OneWorld pharmacy celebrates 10 years, it is amazing to look back at the growth. From the number of people we serve and the amount of prescriptions we fill, to the increase in innovations and patient programs. It is a lot of hard work from our team every day, but it’s worth it to see the difference we can make for someone.” - Coleen Schrage, Pharm D. Pharmacy Director In March of 2020, our team filled 13,000 prescriptions and the need continues to grow. As we look to the future we hope to expand our service locations, perform unit dose packaging and expand delivery options to increase access to medication for those in need. No one should be faced with the decision to pay for their medication or go without food to eat.
“We had an elderly lady come in to get her prescriptions. As we helped her, she shared that she had to choose to fill her medications vs have money for food. We worked to get her cost down so she was able to afford both.” - Angelo Gonzaga, Pharmacy Manager The OneWorld Pharmacy has been a part of the community for 10 years. Our pharmacy team assists with applying to pharmacy manufacturer assistance programs, calls doctors to ask for less expensive medication options. OneWorld patients receive discounts on medications at our pharmacy, free home delivery for those at risk or 55+, blood pressure checks and monitoring. Having our own pharmacy allows OneWorld’s clinicians and pharmacy team to work together in a unique partnership that no other pharmacy in our community is able to match. Our pharmacy team and clinicians know one another and work together daily to ensure our patients are receiving the best care possible.
