Optime Care Recognizes Role of Caregivers for Individuals with Rare Disease, Chronic, Complex Conditions

National Family Caregivers Month, November 2022

Optime Care, a national specialty pharmacy, distribution and patient management organization, maximizing therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of orphan and rare disorders, is pleased to recognize November as National Family Caregivers Month and expresses its appreciation for caregivers across the nation who are providing essential care for rare disease patients and those with chronic, complex conditions.

“Healthcare issues that impact the day-to-day care of patients with rare conditions are extremely complex, often challenging the ability of untrained caregivers – largely family members –who are tasked with these responsibilities,” says Brandon Salke, Pharm.D., general manager and pharmacist-in-charge, Optime Care.

With over 53 million family members providing caregiving to a loved one and 20 million becoming new caregivers each year, we honor and support caregivers and their pivotal role not only during November, but also throughout the year.

“We recognize that these ongoing duties can be overwhelming for even the most dedicated caregivers,” says Salke. “That’s why our Optime Care specialty pharmacists and care coordinators are committed to assisting patients and caregivers throughout the healthcare journey, providing high-level coordinated support services that help ease the pressures of managing the unique challenges associated with caring for an individual living with a rare disease.”
