Dr. Jennifer LaCoe has been serving the community for more than 25 years. She started her career as a pharmacy technician in 1998. Her talent for connecting with patients and putting them at ease made her successful in her role. She wanted to make a real difference in people’s lives, so she pursued a career as a pharmacist and earned her Doctorate in Pharmacy in 2005.
For nearly two decades, Dr. LaCoe worked as a community pharmacist, sharing her expertise with patients. She preferred stepping outside the pharmacy to assist individuals, particularly older adults and those with heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
The COVID-19 pandemic shifted how Dr. LaCoe interacted with patients. In-person consultations became limited, and many patients, especially older adults and those with diabetes, began receiving inappropriate prescriptions. These changes motivated Dr. LaCoe to take her career in a patient-centered direction and become a board-certified pharmacist.
In 2022, Dr. LaCoe became a board-certified pharmacotherapy specialist, showcasing her advanced knowledge of medications and clinical pharmacy services. With this certification, she launched MedsCheck, a service that helps patients understand their medications, avoid drug interactions, and improve health outcomes. MedsCheck also offers comprehensive medication reviews to ensure effective and safe medication use.
