About Us
Expert clinical judgement is a new concept for some pharmacies across the United States, but at Good Graces, our pharmacists have been involved in healthcare team decisions for the betterment of patient care. This means we work not only as your medication delivery mechanism, but we critically evaluate scenarios with your prescribers to find the best clinical outcome for you, provided the opportunity.
We have direct knowledge of specific medications, devices, and diagnostic testing designed to help with many medical conditions, such as: a diabetes medication that also helps protect heart function, an antidepressant that also provides pain relief for certain medical conditions, providing preventative care options such as immunizations and supplemental therapies, or even providing pharmacogenomic testing to identify your body's ability to process and transport medications. Using this knowledge, we often find alternative therapies for your treatment that can save you money by not only using less medication but also to find cheapest alternative for your body's specific treatment(s) and balancing the effectiveness for your health condition.
As a professor often admitted in pharmacy school, there is a reason it is called the "practice of medicine." There was never a more complete statement, as there are so many variables into each of us as individuals, and the way our bodies react to medications, particularly when multiple medications are prescribed at once. A new and upcoming trend, known as pharmacogenomics, is a way to help with this complication in the practice of medicine. Using a simple cheek swab, patients can learn a vast array of information about his or her specific body and the ability their genes have to create necessary enzymes to process and transport medications throughout the body. Our pharmacists have vendor partners who are able to process and provide up-to-date information with respect to prescribed medications for each patient, as well as having access to this list for future prescribed medications and how new medications can be effected by genetics.
At Good Graces Pharmacy, we offer a full lineup of medications to our rural communities. Besides the typical blood pressure, diabetes, mental health, pain medications, and so much more, we also have access to a large lineup of specialty medications, over-the-counter supplements, medical devices, and unique health and beauty products that are certain to cover many of your specific needs. Don't see something you are looking for - just ask us and we would be glad to research for you and work to find the best outcome for you!
With numerous opportunities to learn more about your medication, health condition, and just your body in general, Good Graces Pharmacy is a one-stop shop for so many of your healthcare needs. Our health and wellness programs are continually growing and morphing into the new concepts and information necessary to ensure the best care for you - our friends and family. If there is something we don't have in the store for you, just ask, as we can likely find it for you (either in-house or somehow getting access to the product for you).
Experienced, hometown healthcare providers with large-city options to ensure best opportunities and access to healthcare options, Good Graces Pharmacy employees strive to be the best opportunity for our patients. With state and national contacts for programs and opportunities, we have a wide range to choose from for opportunities for our patients.
Continue to check in frequently, as we don't want to let the dust settle in our boots, so we keep moving forward and change with the times to have every opportunity and shred of information our communities can benefit from, all delivered by a familiar staff that is eager to assist you today!
