We loved seeing Dr. Handy in action at the recent Health Wagon Free Clinic! While providing vital care to our community, he also hosted a group of medical and nurse practitioner interns to show them what medicine looks like on the front lines.

Dr. Jen Hammons and the dedicated team at St Mary's Faith Pharmacy are truly making a positive impact, and I feel fortunate to have them in our community.

Accountability, Innovation, and Access Across Care | TWIRx
This Week in Pharmacy – 04-10-2026

On this episode of This Week in Pharmacy, we cover a high-impact week across the profession, from TWIRx news and practice transformation to oncology leadership, pediatric research, and a look ahead to Asembia 2026.

Powered by Outcomes and IPC, supporting independent pharmacy innovation, patient engagement, and performance.

In TWIRx News, we break down a $1.9M federal fraud case involving a pharmacy owner who admitted to submitting false claims for medications that were medically unnecessary or never dispensed, impacting Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross Blue Shield over a five-year period.

We also highlight Amy Seung stepping into the HOPA presidency during a period of rapid acceleration in oncology, where new approvals, indications, and clinical data are emerging at an unprecedented pace. She emphasizes HOPA’s role in bridging evolving science with real-world care, with a focus on bispecific therapies, real-world evidence, and toxicity management.

We also spotlight research from the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, where Dr. David Drewry and student researchers are advancing work on DIPG, an aggressive pediatric brain cancer with limited treatment options. Using an open-science model, the team is working to accelerate discovery while keeping therapies more accessible, including progress toward a Phase 1 trial for an ALK2 inhibitor. We also feature a cost-plus pharmacy model using AI and cash pricing to redefine care delivery.

We’re also preparing for Asembia 2026 in Las Vegas. Find the Pharmacy Podcast Network at booth 1805 with coverage supported by Clearway Health.

This week’s interviews feature Nick Baird of Outcomes on patient engagement and value creation, and Dr. Jen Hammons of Health Wagon, expanding access to care for underserved communities through a growing network of services.

Join us as we connect the week’s top headlines to the broader transformation across pharmacy practice, policy, specialty care, and community health.

Follow the Pharmacy Podcast Network and stay connected as we head into Asembia 2026.

Our office is proud to announce that we have officially implemented the use of SmartHeart technology for performing 12-lead EKGs. This advancement has significantly improved both our efficiency and overall patient care when rapid cardiac assessments are needed. With SmartHeart, we’re able to obtain accurate readings much faster than with traditional methods, eliminating the need for multiple leads and adhesive electrodes. This not only saves valuable time in urgent situations but also provides a more comfortable experience for our patients. By streamlining the EKG process, our team can focus more on what matters most delivering timely, high-quality care. We’re excited to continue embracing innovative tools like this to better serve our community and enhance the level of care we provide every day.

Looking back on a great weekend at the Move Mountains Mission (M7)! 🏔️🩺

For nearly four decades, Dr. Handy has volunteered his time with The Health Wagon to ensure that our neighbors have access to the care they deserve no insurance required. 🤝

From providing relief for chronic joint pain to performing skin biopsies and coordinating with teams from ETSU and VCOM, it was a busy and rewarding weekend for everyone involved. 🏥✨
