Islands Hospice has selected OnePoint Patient Care, an industry leader in local hospice pharmacy, e-prescribing technologies, and Pharmacy Benefits Management (PBM) solutions, as its PBM partner.

With a pharmacy on the island and local same-day delivery capability, we have been able to reduce our costs and increase service to our patients," said Jen Eaton, Islands Hospice COO.
Integrating OnePoint's high-touch customer experience and operational problem-solving expertise with the infrastructure of existing PharMerica pharmacies in Hawaii provides a unique opportunity to better serve the patients of Islands Hospice.
