Underserved families who may not be able to get to a pharmacy will now be able to have their medications delivered right to their door and be able to ask a clinical pharmacist any questions they have face-to-face. The new clinical pharmacist is critical to educating patients on the medicines they are taking and working at pop-up vaccination clinics. Help hire two new pharmacists and cover their salaries for three years - a dispensing pharmacist and a clinical pharmacist to serve Sussex County. Having an additional dispensing pharmacist means that medications can be prepared, processed, and out the door to families faster, boosting the quality and efficiency of care.It will support their “Peds in the Park” program to help parents get their kids up to date on vaccines, their outdoor pop-up flu and COVID vaccine clinics, and their pharmaceutical at-home delivery system to make sure our residents are always receiving the medicines they need.

These challenges put at risk the health of many in our rural areas, especially for the greater Sussex County area. The report also found that there are more residents for every single health care provider in Sussex County than in the state overall. Also, many in underserved communities do not have the ability to get to health care centers to receive care.Ī recent North Jersey Health Collaborative report found that access to health care and easy and safe access to transportation - specifically to health care facilities - were areas of significant need in Sussex County. Many families have trouble getting their critical prescription medications - especially seniors and underserved populations. In Sussex County, there is a huge unmet need for pharmaceutical delivery. The new van made possible with this federal investment is forthcoming.
Since starting their pharmacy delivery service in November, Zufall has already served more than 100 patients - all while using a van meant for other purposes. It will provide investments for a new pharmacy delivery van and driver, and two new pharmacists - covering their salaries for three years. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) Tuesday announced a new $314,500 federal investment clawed back from Washington to Sussex County for Zufall’s pharmaceutical delivery program and pop-up vaccination clinics for children and adults.
