b'Pharmacies: Integrating CareIn 2003, Virginia Garcia opened our first pharmacy in Cornelius. Since that time, patients have received pharmaceutical services at all five primary care locations. Virginia Garcia pharmacies help patients manage their medications, and offer A1C testing, COVID-19 testing, treatment, and vaccinations, plus access to affordable medications through the 340B pricing program.This year, Virginia Garcia pharmacies took another step forward with the implementation of a program known as Willow. The program, created specifically for pharmacy electronic health records, integrates pharmacy patient records with medical and dental records. This allows providers, dentists and pharmacists to access the same information, ensuring patients are receiving exactly the right care at the right time. Virginia Garcia has a history of integrating patient care. Primary care and dental teams can already see a patients record, allowing them to address all health issues in one visit. Now, with the integration of prescriptions, they see the complete patient picture.During a routine dental exam the dentist can access the electronic health record and see that a patient needs a prescription refill. The dentist can help them order their medication right from the dental chair, allowing them to pick it up at the clinic pharmacy on the way out.Thanks to Willow, complete integrated care is now a reality. A patients entire care team can work together to ensure their health needs are being met at every level, eliminating barriers, enhancing access and doing more to improve health outcomes.#WeAreVirginiaGarcia'
