Truly the best team !! They make a difference everyday !! 👏👏👏 Provost IDA Pharmacy
🌟 Recognizing the 2026 Rhapsody Award nominees 🏆
Today we're highlighting the efforts of Barb Hawken and the Provost IDA team!
..
A pharmacy team from Provost is being recognized by its community for providing thoughtful, individualized patient care and ensuring health professionals have the information they require when they need it.
“In many cases, they know patient histories, medication journeys, and personal circumstances even better than the physicians do, and in a small town, those relationships matter,” writes Provost Mayor Dirk Brouwer, chairman of the Provost Health Care Professional Attraction and Retention Committee.
Brouwer, who on behalf of the committee nominated the pharmacy team for a 2026 RHPAP Rhapsody Healthcare Heroes Award, says thanks to the work of pharmacist Barb Hawken and her team at IDA Pharmacy “the transition from physician assessment to treatment is easy and seamless, and the overall efficiency of the healthcare system in our community is greatly enhanced.”
The team’s work reduces the impact on urgent care and physician workload by creating partnerships with the local primary care network and seniors’ lodge to manage vulnerable patients’ needs including the elderly and those with diabetes.
“The pharmacy team’s approach is an invaluable help to a range of other medical professionals in clarifying medications, adjusting dosages, or considering treatment alternatives,” he says.
