Pharmacy services at GCMH Pharmacy services at GCMH provide essential care to patients through specialized treatments such as medication management, infusions and anticoagulation counseling. GCMH Pharmacist in Charge Lisa Veit, PharmD, oversees daily pharmacy operations, ensuring compliance with regulations, managing inventory and leading the pharmacy team. Most importantly, the pharmacy team prioritizes patient safety and works to provide accurate, effective medication therapy. Lisa Veit, PharmD Infusion therapy Infusion therapy is a vital treatment option for various conditions, and patients at GCMH receive a level of care that sets us apart. All infusion medications are prepared, or compounded, in the hospital’s IV “clean room” by licensed and certified pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. The room and compounding are highly regulated by federal and state guidelines. The convenience of being able to receive outpatient infusions at GCMH is a game changer for many local patients who previously had to travel hours away and often stay overnight to receive treatments. Safety is also a top priority—while infusion medications are proven to be safe and effective, allergic reactions are always a possibility. At GCMH, our providers are available 24/7 to respond to any adverse effects. Additionally, our dedicated infusion nurse monitors patients closely, ensuring optimal treatment and patient well-being. Visit gcmh.link/infusions for a list of infusion therapies administered at GCMH. Anticoagulation services For patients taking warfarin, a blood thinner used to prevent and treat blood clots, pharmacist-managed anticoagulation monitoring is a critical service. This program helps ensure proper dosing and reduces the risk of complications. Patients typically need frequent monitoring at first—sometimes multiple times a week—until a stable dose is established, after which they are seen monthly. A referral is required for anticoagulation services. Other resources Pharmacists are a valuable resource for all medication-related questions, including vaccines and over-the-counter medications. By partnering with local community pharmacies, we ensure a seamless continuum of care for our patients. With a commitment to quality care and patient support, the pharmacy services at GCMH play an essential role in our community’s health and well-being. Featured SERVICE 5
