“At our pharmacy, our commitment is to provide value beyond medication to Miami’s senior living community”, said Allen Whisler, Senior Director at the facility. “We are thrilled to implement our new hands-on, innovative approach to medication management to significantly improve the health outcomes of the seniors we serve and become the go-to, trusted pharmacy for safe and accurate medications.”

The pharmacy launch is a larger ILS commitment to home care services after recently being licensed as a Home Medical Equipment Provider, meaning that it can provide critical durable medical equipment for the home to partnering health care organizations and the general public, and expanding its home health business.
