Pharmacy leaders don’t quit, they step up
You must continue to improve so that you can continue to advance your team on their mission. No one will follow a pharmacy leader promoting outdated philosophies and goals for long. - 2/12/2024
The hope of healthcare— Play. To. Win.
Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of meeting and interacting with thousands of pharmacists. When I first started out, I did not know the rules of the game. Allow me to correct that. When I first started out, I was playing a very small game. I thought the game was to correctly fill a prescription for a patient as quickly as possible. If I did that, I would win. - 1/31/2024
Get the negative to make positive change in your pharmacy
I have had many negative results as a pharmacist, as a manager, and as a leader. But I learned over time (and you will, too) that those negative results showed me how to improve, as long as I 'got the negative.' - 1/29/2024
The hope of healthcare—none of us versus all of us
The different perspectives we have acquired through our pharmacy careers bring value to the overall care that can be provided. But we must be willing to share the wisdom we have acquired, and more so, we must be willing to listen to the wisdom being shared so that it can produce the best value. - 1/22/2024
The hope of healthcare—the recap
For some time now, I have been wrestling with this topic of the hope of healthcare. Deep down we all recognize not just the opportunity, but the need for healthcare to improve. How will this happen?

Jesse’s predictions for pharmacists in 2024
The beginning of a new year often has people looking hopeful at the possibility of what may be. Yet we know the vast majority of people who set New Year’s resolutions drop them within days or weeks of starting them. And they do this year after year. - 12/11/2023
The hope of healthcare – trade-offs!
Within the world of pharmacy, we must be intentional to show the value that is provided to our patients. In the absence of recognizing the value, a patient can become disengaged with his care. - 12/4/2023
The hope of healthcare—value-add or adding value?
If your experience is anything like mine, the ability to add value to our patients and customers is a seismic shift! I wish I could say it is just as easy as offering value-add programs, but it not.

The hope of healthcare – the creation of value
Value is what we must set out to deliver. Every day. To every patient we serve. Pharmacists are the Hope of Healthcare (at least partly) because we can deliver that value and have that impact.
