Aspire Indiana Health expands pharmacy & specialty care

Aspire Indiana Health announces the transition and expansion of pharmacy services at its Anderson and Noblesville health centers.

Aspire will take over ownership of these pharmacies from its current provider partner, allowing the nonprofit community health system to enhance the services offered and expand into other areas of patient care including Whole-Person Specialty Care.

The Aspire Anderson pharmacy is scheduled to reopen later this spring, followed by the Noblesville pharmacy. Both pharmacy locations will be closed for a few weeks prior to reopening during the transition. Getting medications filled will be shifted to other Aspire locations while these locations are temporarily closed. Patients should not see any service disruption in prescription delivery during this transition.

Aspire will make this exciting leap in partnership with AndHealth, a healthcare organization that shares its mission-driven approach and innovative mindset. AndHealth specializes in providing high-quality specialty care and pharmacy services to high-need populations. This collaboration will enable Aspire to extend its sliding-scale fees to pharmacy services, making medication more affordable and accessible to low-income patients.

Whole-Person Comprehensive Disease Management (CDM) will be available later this spring to serve patients with progressive chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, and migraine. Eligible patients will have access to an experienced care team of clinicians, pharmacists, health coaches and care navigators and a personalized health plan centered around their unique symptoms. These services may include medication management, lifestyle support, health coaching, nutrition and supplement assistance and wearable health monitoring devices.

Specialty Care Services will roll out this summer at Aspire’s Noblesville health center, with virtual appointments also available. These services will initially encompass headache neurology, dermatology, rheumatology and gastroenterology needs.

“This initiative represents a major step forward in Aspire’s mission to make comprehensive, patient-centered care more accessible to Hoosiers from every walk of life, regardless of income or identity,” said President & CEO Antony Sheehan said. “We also want to thank our current partner, Genoa Healthcare, which will continue to operate our pharmacies at our Carmel and Indianapolis health centers. Their dedication has set the standard we will continue to uphold as we move forward with this transition.”
