Kroger Patient Care Center

The Kroger Patient Care Center formed out of a partnership between the Kroger Company and the Colleges of Pharmacy at the Ohio State University and the University of Toledo. This partnership serves the community by providing an expanded level of pharmaceutical care. 

The Patient Care Center functions as an extension of the dispensing pharmacy.  Patients have the opportunity to meet with a pharmacist to discuss their current medications and disease states, learn about new treatment options and therapies, and schedule individual consultation appointments for disease state management. 

This care includes wellness and screening services such as glucose screenings for diabetes, cholesterol screenings, and bone mineral density screening for osteoporosis.  In addition, disease state management programs provide pharmacists with the opportunity to work with other health care professionals to help patients better manage their chronic diseases. These services are provided by a College Faculty member, a Kroger pharmacist, a community pharmacy resident and experiential students. The Patient Care Centers serve as hubs for our Kroger Patient Care System, where many of our pharmacies offer select patient care services to their communities. If you like to teach or have more hands-on experience, become a preceptor at one of 30 college-recognized experiential sites.

Community Programs

Many of the programs underway at the Patient Care Center include providing healthy shopping store tours, heart healthy grocery store tours, health information days for specific diseases and populations, and medication information at area health fairs and events.
