Lakeland Pharmacy to expand to Service VA, Will Seek DAPA Certification
Tuesday, February 17, 2015
Lakeland Pharmacy, a leading full-service pharmacy, pharmaceutical compounding shop, and medical device retailer, announced plans today to expand sales of their home respiratory equipment by applying for a Distribution and Pricing Agreement (DAPA) certification and actively pursuing government procurement opportunities. Many Federal agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) utilize DAPA Agreements as a means of procuring goods and services knowing that companies on with these agreements have been thoroughly vetted.
"The opportunity to service government accounts opens up significantly more markets throughout the region as our goal continues to be to expand sales of our in-home respirator and oxygen concentrator product line," states Jim Parten, Home Medical Director at Lakeland Pharmacy. He continues, "The Respironics Trilogy 101 home respirator will help doctors increase their patient's outcomes and decrease costly re-admissions for those suffering with respiratory issues such as COPD."
Lakeland Pharmacy's respiratory therapists utilize the most advanced home equipment on the market to care for critical patients. Over the past 4 years they have pioneered the home ventilator market in South West Missouri and North West Arkansas using the Respironics Trilogy 101. Lakeland Pharmacy specializes in non-invasive and invasive applications that treat patients suffering from chronic respiratory failure and thoracic restrictive disease. Their staff is experienced in handling pediatric to geriatric patients with numerous respiratory conditions.
