High-tech machines pair virtual pharmacists with remote dispensing to expand access to immediate and maintenance medications, redefining pharmacy care.
The new machines will be available at Advocate Trinity Hospital, Advocate South Suburban Hospital and the Advocate Medical Group outpatient clinic at Imani Village.
Videos and pictures of the machines are available here for use with a courtesy to Advocate Health Care.
This initiative modernizes pharmacy access and strengthens care for chronic conditions, particularly in Chicago’s South Side neighborhoods where major pharmacy retailers have closed.
“These vending machines are a great resource for our patients to conveniently get their medications,” said Dr. Julie Taylor, a family medicine physician with Advocate Health Care.
