Brad Stapley
By Kelli Charlton, of Education sghw | C UDirector LT U RE In the “good ol’ days” physicians who made house calls carried their own medication. The tradition
sghw W ended E L Lwith N Ethe S Sonset of modern-day pharmacies, but prescription delivery is still of house|calls
common today. In an interview with Brad Stapley, President and Owner of Stapley Pharmacy, we discussed who might benefit from home or office delivery. Kelli: Why choose prescription delivery? Brad: Delivery is designed for individuals for whom a stop at the pharmacy is simply inconvenient. There are several circumstances in which our patients cannot get into the pharmacy to pick up their prescriptions in a timely manner. We make it easy and can deliver to either home or work. Kelli: How can you help a parent with a sick child? Brad: We are parents too, and we know that the parent with a sick child, or children, who needs medication can’t conveniently take the sick kids with them to pick up the necessary items. When the physician’s office faxes the prescription to Stapley’s, mom or dad no longer needs to worry. The Registered Pharmacist will fill the prescription and it will be out the door on the next delivery. In a pinch, we can bring it to the car for curbside service. Just give us a call and let us know you are here. Kelli: How can delivery help our rapidly growing Senior population? Brad: It is not uncommon to find individuals who are aging-in-place. This means that although they are still able to live in their own homes, they may lack convenient transportation and often feel it a burden to ask family or a neighbor. A quick call to refill their prescription, and it will be on the transport of their choosing, mid-day or early evening. Kelli: How can Stapley Pharmacy delivery help a Caregiver? Brad: We understand that life doesn’t always come in “easy to swallow” doses. We know that there are Caregivers who cannot leave their loved ones, and when they do get away, they need to be caring for themselves not running errands. Let the Stapley Pharmacy staff serve you by delivering the necessary items directly to your door on the day of the week that works best for you. Kelli: Is there anything else that you’d like readers to know? Brad: For anyone who takes multiple medications daily, please don’t hesitate to ask about our special packaging to make your life easier. Contact the Stapley pharmacy nearest you and ask about blister packs. Stapley Pharmacy has been serving the Washington County area for 49 years and wants everyone to know that we are a state-of-the-art pharmacy with a small-town feel; where your pharmacist knows you by name.
