Shweta Namjoshi, MD, MPH, CNSC, as a pediatric gastroenterologist specializing in nutrition support and intestinal rehabilitation, I am continually humbled by the partnership between patients, parents, pharmacists, nurses, scientists, and physicians. I collaborate closely with patients and families and our Home Pharmacy to support lifelong learning in therapeutic processes, ensuring that children can dedicate their energy to their goals and dreams.
Marisa Ng, PharmD, as a pharmacist and manager of the Home Pharmacy for more than 25 years, I have been privileged to work with an exceptional team to build a strong program supporting patients and their families at home. I strive to provide excellent care to patients by partnering with parents and providers to help patients meet personal milestones that improve their lives. We become incredibly close to our families. One of my most rewarding memories was when our Home Pharmacy staff was invited to celebrate the 16th birthday of a patient we cared for since infancy. Having a medically fragile child is stressful, and we do whatever we can to help reduce that stress by empowering families to keep their children at home with safe home therapy.
Sharmee Rajaram, PharmD, as the Home Pharmacy manager, I take care of the clinical and operational aspects of our pharmacy. My team always puts our patients first to provide the best care possible. Our passion for outstanding patient care and safety is unparalleled and helps us achieve our ultimate goal of ensuring that parents are well equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to help their children thrive after hospital discharge. Being a part of the hospital gives us the advantage of having full access to medical histories and resources to be able to closely coordinate care between our care team and families.
The friendly voices on the phone who answer all calls, take referrals, perform insurance benefit checks, obtain prior authorization, and manage refill requests make up our intake team. You’ll get to know them well. They are here to answer any questions you might have or find an answer as needed.
Our nurses assess your child’s needs and teach you how to manage your child’s care at home, including caring for central lines, using catheters or gastrostomy tubes, preparing formulas and medication, using medication pumps, learning what alarms mean, and ensuring that you understand your child’s medication.
After receiving precise direction from our pharmacists, our technicians compound sterile medications per the latest sterile compounding regulations. They also perform equipment maintenance and purchase all of our medical supplies.
This team coordinates all of our deliveries, including stocking, packing, and communicating with our courier service. They make sure you receive therapies in good shape and on time—keeping you updated during the process.
If you have any questions on billing, reach out to this team. They handle all insurance paperwork, help troubleshoot barriers, and coordinate with our hospital’s patient financial services.
