I got into the infusion industry as a summer intern during pharmacy school, and was fortunate to jump right into home infusion pharmacy practice upon graduation in 2008. I was on the home infusion operations team at Vital Care of Meridian, and after several years moved over to the Vital Care corporate team in a department leadership role.
It has been interesting to see the move by home infusion providers into specialty pharmacy, then specialty pharmacies into home infusion, and now both opening ambulatory infusion centers.
The biggest thing missing from home infusion is a home infusion services benefit for Medicare beneficiaries needing home IV antibiotics. These patients are most often in the most dire need of access to home infusion services, yet have the most limited access due to Medicare’s lack of coverage. If I could waive a magic wand, I would create a Medicare home infusion services benefit for IV antibiotics covered under Part D.
I have worn a lot of hats over the years and hope to be remembered for making home infusion therapy more available and accessible by patients who need these services.
I have been fortunate to work alongside many pioneers of the industry, both around NHIA and at Vital Care over the years. Their perseverance, grit, and problem-solving abilities are inspiring to me and help motivate me to keep pressing for solutions.
I got involved with NHIA early in my career and have been surrounded by so many home infusion professionals that I have learned from over the years. The connections I have made and relationships I have built through NHIA have been invaluable to me as I have navigated my career in home infusion.
I am excited and humbled to be known as an NHIA Fellow alongside such an impressive group of infusion industry leaders. Thank you IMS for supporting this great program!
Take time for fun experiences with friends and family.
See the future!
Something related to business. I enjoy sizing up business opportunities, real estate, etc.., and love being part of a team that takes a vision and makes it a reality. Business is my hobby!
