"Serving within the Fort Memorial Hospital in Fort Atkinson, Wis., Fort HealthCare’s pharmacy services have been setting standards for rural pharmacy practice in Wisconsin since the 1950s. As the main hospital and only location with an inpatient pharmacy in Jefferson County, the Fort HealthCare system approaches rural pharmacy practice with an emphasis on patient safety and efficiency. The Fort HealthCare system is heavily involved in the well-being of its community and emphasizes the values of responsiveness, excellence, sensitivity, professionalism, empowerment, cultural diversity, and teamwork in its daily operations. With a modest team of six pharmacists, the pharmacy team at Fort Memorial Hospital takes pride in its ability to operate at a high level of effectiveness within an environment of limited resources, common in rural pharmacy practice."
