As we observe National Pharmacist Day on January 12th, it is essential to recognize the important contributions pharmacists make to cancer care.
At Astera Cancer Care, our pharmacists are committed to meticulously planning, preparing, and administering chemotherapy to create patient confidence in their care.
Our in-house pharmacies provide patients with timely access to their medications, copay assistance, and monitoring and management of side effects.
They also help patients on the emotional side by empowering them to begin therapies and helping them prepare for possible side effects. They review the treatment plan with the patient while also working alongside the healthcare team. Forming patient-centered relationships allows Astera to build our practices while also improving patient adherence and patient safety.
As a patient of Astera Cancer Care, you can feel confident that your chemotherapy treatment has been planned, prepared and provided with vigilance, skill and precision. Our oncology pharmacists are here to ensure the accuracy, safety and effectiveness of your medications and to help prevent and manage treatment-related complications.
The convenience of Astera’s in-office Medically Integrated Dispensing Program allows patients to access oral chemotherapy and supportive medications without the need for external pharmacies.
Our mission is to inspire hope and improve outcomes through our commitment to personalized patient care and the latest treatment and research. Knowing how much pharmacists do for cancer care and Astera is why we celebrate this National Pharmacist Day.
