Pharmacy Case Study
Wallace Drugstore, Cochrane, ON
Wallace Drugstore has served the town of Cochrane, Ontario for almost 100 years. With their small population of around 6,000 people, half of the population have no access to a doctor. In what was described as “nothing short of a crisis,” lack of access to physicians, primary care prescribers and practitioners presented a major problem to the town.
Seeking a way to improve access to care in the community, Wallace Drugstore worked with Rocket Doctor to explore how virtual care services could alleviate some of the issues the people of Cochrane were facing.
Rocket Doctor installed a virtual care station in-store, created a branded virtual care web page for the pharmacy and provided the pharmacy with an in-store QR code that would allow pharmacy customers to scan and directly access virtual care services on Rocket Doctor’s platform.
“I don’t know what we’d do without Rocket Doctor. It’s saving people in our town from making unnecessary trips to the ER, and it’s also saving the healthcare system a lot of money”
” There are a lot of areas in which Rocket Doctor has been essential in helping us, because people have nowhere else to turn other than going to the emergency room, which is flooded here in town “

His patients now have a means of getting care for basic things, understanding preventative measures, getting lab work done to ensure that their blood glucose levels are in line, protecting them against diabetes and to make sure that their cholesterol levels are fine. There a lot of areas in which Rocket Doctor has been essential, especially because people have nowhere else to turn.
“It’s also really helped from a business perspective, generating more prescription volume.
My philosophy is if you help the patient, the business will benefit. And the residents in this town have really appreciated what we’ve done with Rocket Doctor.”
