Ole Miss student learns about RxSync at Tyson’s By BARRY BURLESON
Bob Lomenick speaks once a year to pharmacy students at Ole Miss. A talk on Tyson’s RxSync home delivery program grabbed the attention of LaDonna Franklin. “I was in the class on Friday, about 4 p.m., and I’m that student who always asks questions,” she said. “My classmates were all getting mad – ready to leave for the weekend. “I had never heard of RxSync. I knew I had to get this rotation and see how he is doing this.” Franklin, from Centreville in south Mississippi, is working for a few weeks at Tyson Drug Co. on the square in downtown Holly Springs. It is the sixth of her eight on-the-job rotations before graduation in May. She earned a degree in biochemistry and psychology before entering pharmacy school. “Of all the pharmacies, I’ve not seen anything like this (RxSync),” she said. “It’s a cool system.” Once a month, a patient’s entire medication for the month is delivered to the door – in a packet and already sorted. “It’s the most convenient thing I’ve seen,” Franklin said. “Plus, it frees up the front counter (in the store) for walk-in customers.” Lomenick said Tyson’s likes to do things “outside the box.” “We like to blend the traditional with the non-traditional way of delivering medicine,” he said. “It works well. We’re not your normal pharmacy.” Lomenick said he enjoys talking to the college students annually about home-owned, home-operated pharmacies. “I try to direct the students to independent pharmacies,” he said. “I talk about the rewards and the tribulations of owning your own pharmacy.” |
