A Little About Me…
In this blog, I will help you navigate the healthcare system, including your healthcare benefits. Think of me like your captain on this journey. But rather than tell you the what, why, and how to navigate the healthcare system. I thought it best to start by telling you a little bit about myself and how I’ve navigated the healthcare system for my healthcare needs.
Hello, how can I help you?
Everyone remembers their first day at work. As a newly minted pharmacist, I went in thinking that I’d change the world, one patient at a time. But within my first hour, I met someone that would end up changing my world instead. A mom came in with a prescription for her daughter. The prescription was for a common antibiotic that we’ve all probably taken before. However, this mom did not have insurance and the prescription came out to $40. The mom did not have $40 to pay for that prescription. So I did what I thought was right and took out $40 to pay for her daughter’s prescription. The daughter was grinning from ear-to-ear and the mom was on the verge of tears. The mom left with a prescription that her daughter needed; and I felt like I was making a difference in the world.
