Season 3, Episode 6 - The entrepreneurial pharmacist: Connecting clinic to community - a podcast by On The Heels of Innovation

With Franklin Roye, PharmD, president and co-founder of IndyCare; and Eshelman School of Pharmacy alumnus

Imagine  that you have the flu. But now you don’t have to visit your doctor to  get tested or go to the pharmacy to fill a prescription – all while  potentially exposing numerous others. Instead, you have a telehealth  appointment, and then someone drives to your house, where they test you  and bring you the medicine you need. Franklin Roye, president and  co-founder of IndyCare, shares how his company transforms independent  pharmacies into integrated healthcare hubs that use these and other  approaches to expand access to care in local communities. Roye explains  how IndyCare had to adapt its business model during COVID-19, the value  of co-founding a company with someone you trust, what he learned at the  Launch Chapel Hill accelerator, and the rise in entrepreneurial thinking  he sees among health scientists.
