Gastro Health, one of the nation's largest gastroenterology practices, and House Rx, the leader in medically integrated dispensing solutions for specialty gastroenterology care clinics, today announced a strategic partnership to launch an in-office, medically integrated dispensing program across its network of care centers.
The partnership follows a review by Gastro Health's leadership of how the organization is positioned to serve patients now and into the future. That review pointed to medically integrated dispensing as a meaningful way to close the gap between a physician's order and a patient's therapy.
“One of the biggest priorities of our leadership team was taking a hard look at how we care for our patients, today and for years to come,” said Philip Meador, COO. “One of the clearest opportunities we found was in how quickly our patients could start the gastroenterology medications they'd been prescribed. House Rx lets us close that gap in a way that's built for where our practice is headed.” Gastro Health evaluated dispensing partners built for the future of specialty care. House Rx stood out for sharing Gastro Health's patient-centered values and its modern approach to dispensing, including AI-native services provided by hundreds of experts supporting patients nationwide, making it the clear choice to power the practice's MID program.
“Gastro Health's leadership is asking exactly the right questions about how to prepare a practice for the future, and it's genuinely inspiring to see,” said Alerie Stiles, SVP of Commercial Growth at House Rx. “Their willingness to rethink how patients access gastroenterology medications, with the patient experience front and center, is exactly the kind of partnership House Rx was built to support.”
Key benefits of the partnership include:
