Ohio Board of Pharmacy Launches New Online Search Tool to Help Patients Find Accessible Pharmacy Services

Ohio Board of Pharmacy Executive Director Steven W. Schierholt announced today that Ohioans who have low vision, are hard of hearing, or require language translation services can now use a new online search tool to locate Ohio pharmacies that provide accessible services.

The new webpage –  <https://9i8dqr7ab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Cxx-6M6BuZjg4wh_2rUWcdeBY9HsMt3byCB8m1cTIRTtkB6OgMQ-FaKor1-WpaM9rvJ_zHRQLf1L0k4lfijrn2YWysldj5ajA3ndYQ7AZVeZL-FMr-cIDq27SV_YI4QEZzLvlwsb12JPqWgY_dNPBNZZgY1FZCxXYLkDJueXvqWk5cv_OE2auXEy5c8WPnnTmcl9MAMQwNlfZi_rYrlGeA==&c=NJ3FyA5kbtykzmmpInG4ZaRGWoAafk-Xl0UuZOSSansfz10Gbfgf_g==&ch=7XHZngFtyLv8ry65diTA-1NW-M-IruBP4I64yVvyrFj-2yG2NUBd7Q==> Pharmacy.Ohio.gov/Access – allows patients and caregivers of patients requiring such services to search pharmacies in their area to find locations that best meet their needs. 

“The launch of this convenient online search tool highlights the Board’s ongoing commitment to ensure pharmacy services are accessible to all Ohioans,” said Director Schierholt. “The Board is hopeful that this new webpage will help patients and their loved ones quickly identify pharmacies offering services they need to keep them healthy and safe.”  

Patients and caregivers using the tool can select one county or several to search for pharmacies providing accessible services. Once an area is selected, users can select from several different options of what types of services they are interested in utilizing:

*     For patients with low vision: oversize font labels, prescription readers, braille labels, and more. 

*     For patients who are hard of hearing: video relay services, teletypewriters, and more.

*     Specific language translation services by language, including: Spanish, Chinese, Nepali, Somali, and more.

People call, text, and chat the 988 Lifeline to talk about a lot of emotional needs—not just thoughts of suicide. Whatever your reason, the #988Lifeline is there to help. There is hope.
