"I can't wait to start working to advance our profession and improve the health of our patients and our communities," said Dr. Knoer. "While COVID-19 has added a tremendous amount of complexity and stress to the profession of pharmacy and the world, it's also presented opportunities that are transforming the healthcare system and creating new pathways for our profession to care for patients."
Dr. Knoer was most recently the Chief Pharmacy Officer of the Cleveland Clinic, overseeing nearly 1,600 pharmacy FTEs at the Clinic's 1,300-bed tertiary care referral hospital, its clinics and cancer center, 18 family health centers and 17 community hospitals in Cleveland, Florida, Abu Dhabi, London and Toronto.
Prior to joining the Cleveland Clinic in 2011, Dr. Knoer held leadership positions in pharmacy at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, in Minneapolis, Minn.; the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Tex.; and the University of Kansas Medical Center. He is a graduate of the University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy and completed a combined PGY1 and 2 residency in Hospital Pharmacy Management.
"I'm an entrepreneurial businessperson as well as a patient safety and quality champion. Most importantly, I am a pharmacist," Dr. Knoer added. "This profession is not just what I do for my day job, it's who I am. Not only do I understand the issues, I understand the solutions. No one area of pharmacy practice is immune from these challenges. Together, we must address business practices that jeopardize the safety of our patients and our ability to serve the needs of our local communities."
"On my watch," he continued, "APhA will lead and be proactive, with bold approaches, positioning pharmacists as recognized and valued patient care providers."

July 22, 2020 Back-to-School with RXVIP Concierge: In-Home COVID-19 Testing
Intro from: Scripps National News
New issues with prescriptions getting denied
https://youtu.be/Q45yk-iFiDc
Physicians and Colleges of Pharmacy, who partner with RXVIP Concierge, are able to rapidly test patients for COVID-19 at home using the leading telehealth solution
As many states are lifting restrictions and preparing for students to head back to school, the need for easily accessible COVID-19 testing is imperative. RXVIP Concierge’s telehealth solution allows for physicians and Colleges of Pharmacy to easily test their patients, students and faculty without placing additional work on their staff.
“Over 70 million school-aged children across the United States will be attending school in August, most of them will be in person, and our schools are not equipped to contain the COVID-19 virus despite all of the safety precautions that will be taken,” warns Ken Sternfeld, RPh and Chief Pharmacist Officer of RXVIP Concierge. “Now more than ever, we have to take initiative to rapidly test and trace our patients, friends, and family because doing so will be the difference between life and death in some cases.”
RXVIP Concierge is a leading telehealth solution comprising a network of Pharmacists, PharmDs and Students of Pharmacy who work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to deliver a suite of value-based services.
RXVIP Concierge will place a licensed Pharmacist (PharmD) in a physician’s practice virtually to engage with their patients and conduct in-home testing for the COVID-19 virus.
“At RXVIP we want to create the safest environment possible for the return to school in the fall. Protecting students, faculty, staff and families is our number one goal. At-home COVID-19 testing with telemedicine instruction provides a hassle-free and personalized approach to getting everyone back to school safely,” said Alana Martin, PharmD Concierge Care Coordinator.
By leveraging RXVIP Concierge, physicians relieve their staff of additional work because everything is coordinated by their PharmDs. The practice will also generate an additional revenue stream, RXVIP’s telehealth screening, setup and follow up.
“Repetitious COVID-19 PCR Testing is how people will begin to get back to what was once ‘normal,' but this is a huge burden on organizations which are already quite busy,” said Sternfeld, “RXVIP Concierge is here to help physicians and Colleges of Pharmacy to manage the increasing demand for testing by virtually mobilizing trained PharmDs on the front lines of the pandemic to help.”
In addition, RXVIP Concierge is leading a huge initiative to partner with Colleges of Pharmacy and empower the faculty, students and alumni to reach out into their communities to test friends and family, which will result in an enormous impact on the testing and tracing of COVID-19.
“As future health care providers, RXVIP Concierge’s telehealth is taking the initiative to take care of patents and teach PharmD candidates from all different pharmacy schools to be the best healthcare advocates no matter what the circumstance may be! RXVIP Concierge is implementing in-home COVID testing to rapid test and trace individuals like parents, teachers, professors, students, and many more to bring people back to “normal” and be COVID-free before going back to school. I am more than happy to be a part of the A-Team and get everyone back to their safe learning environments and lives!” said Aisha Abuhanak, PharmD Concierge Care Coordinator.
RXVIP Concierge, through their CareONE Concierge Academy, plays an integral role in the education and training of future PharmD candidates as well as any licensed Pharmacists or PharmDs who want to practice at the height of their profession. The company is now mobilizing their network to rapidly expand the testing and tracing of COVID-19.
“We make the process very simple,” said Sternfeld. “Our PharmDs contact a physician’s patients, or in the case of colleges of pharmacy their family and friends, to inform them about the COVID testing program and screen them for COVID symptoms.”
At that time, the Pharmacist will fill out the online requisition with insurance information and a COVID testing kit (nasopharyngeal) is sent to the patient with clear instructions on its administration.
“Our PharmD assists the patient in capturing the sample using Telehealth. Then the patient completes the nasal swab, places it in the enclosed mailing packet and sends it to our lab for testing,” explained Sternfeld.
Test results are available on RXVIP’s portal within two days showing positive or negative. If the results are positive, RXVIP will set up an affirmative telehealth call between the patient and their provider (or our medical director) to review the results with the patient and discuss how to proceed.
If the results are negative, RXVIP will review the results with the patient and let them know we recommend a repeat test based upon their likelihood of exposure to the virus. An optional telehealth call with the provider (or our medical director) is set up. The patient’s insurance is then billed with no copay to the patient.
“We encourage every parent with school-aged children and every teacher or faculty member who will be physically returning to school this fall to get tested and plan to schedule regular COVID tests,” said Sternfeld. “This is the only way we will be able to trace and contain the virus from violently spreading through schools and putting lives at risk.”
If you would like to know more about PharmD Concierge Covid Testing and/or would like to see a presentation, please send a request to [email protected] or call us at (843) 341-9355.

Pharmacist Moms Supporting Pharmacy Technician Moms
Work/life balance can be difficult to achieve, especially for working professionals who also carry the title of “mom.” In this episode, Jeremy and Jessica interview Dr. Suzy Soliman, the founder of the Facebook group “Pharmacist Moms.”
Launched in 2017, the Pharmacist Moms Facebook group has amassed ~35,000 members… all moms, all pharmacists.
Since the early 2000s, the number of pharmacy school graduates has been on the rise, with women making up the majority during most of those years. Since women now make up a growing part of the pharmacy community, Soliman had the idea was to create a supportive community to share ideas, frustrations, and tips on parenting, advancing their career, or just have fun. Because of the group’s success, there is now a subgroup for pharmacy technician moms.
Throughout this episode, we discuss why it's important for technicians to have an outlet of their own to help each other move toward achieving a healthy work/life balance.
