Palliative Pharmacy of Pikes Peak

Pikes Peak Hospice & Palliative Care opened Palliative Pharmacy of Pikes Peak in June 2003 to provide specialized pharmaceutical care for our hospice patients.  A notable feature of the pharmacy is the fact that we serve only hospice and palliative care patients, and consequently furnish the highest quality of care.  

Besides offering the expected services of a retail pharmacy (identifying drug interactions, answering therapeutic and pharmacology questions, and filling prescriptions), our staff has developed unique dosage formulations to address the care and challenges of hospice patients.

Hospice-related medications are covered as part of patient care at Pikes Peak Hospice.

• Ability to quickly address patients’ changing needs to control pain and symptoms.
  
  
• Preparation of patient-specific palliative compounded preparations, topicals, IVs, and other medications.
  
  
• Specialized equipment, such as a tablet press and capsule machine, allow our pharmacists to address individual patient needs.  Pharmists use the Tablet Press to make special small tablets that dissolve under the tongue for patients who are unable to swallow.  Individual capsule strengths are made to order.
  
  
• Medications can be ordered and delivered by Pikes Peak Hospice care teams.

• Our pharmacists have more than 100 years combined experience, including hospital, compounding, and retail pharmacy.
  
  

• Our Certified Pharmacy Technicians have more than 85 years combined experience in hospital and retail pharmacy.
