Enjoy the benefits of rural Kansas living! With four independent retail pharmacy locations, Midwest Family Health pharmacists have a unique opportunity to become an integral part of the patient care team. 

Practice in a dynamic setting with the following highlights:

• Provide access to key services such as immunizations, MTM, Medicare Part D plan comparisons, adherence packaging and a medication synchronization program 
• Join in patient care initiatives, such as CPESN Flip-the-Pharmacy
• Operate efficiently with technologies like industry-leading PioneerRx software and dispensing automation in a newly expanded and remodeled facility
• Work alongside a full homecare division, including oxygen, CPAP, diabetic shoes and continuous glucose monitoring

At Midwest Family Health, we focus on providing exceptional pharmacy care for a patient over time, rather than dispensing a prescription at a single moment. This is accomplished in two ways:

• By building personal relationships with patients and understanding their individual needs, in the traditional spirit of independent community pharmacy
• Through our commitment to stay at the front of our industry through forward-thinking advances in technology, workflow innovations, and services
