Mission, Vision & Values

Mission

Senior PharmAssist promotes healthier living for Durham seniors by helping them obtain and better manage needed medications, and by providing health education, Medicare insurance counseling, community referral and advocacy.

Vision

  • Senior PharmAssist envisions a time in which all seniors are healthy, empowered, independent and treated with respect.
  • We envision full access to coordinated healthcare and social services to enable a high quality of life for seniors and their families.
  • We envision a healthcare system that is affordable, user-friendly and cost effective and that focuses on holistic “well care” rather than sick care.
  • Senior PharmAssist continues to strive to be the leading pharmaceutical care model in North Carolina that honors and values older adults, and provides related preventive health services to seniors in Durham.

In all of Senior PharmAssist’s services, activities and operations, we seek to:

  • Treat participants with dignity, compassion and sensitivity, and provide dependable and consistent information, care and services in a professional manner.
  • Advance holistic “well care” for seniors through strategic alliances and partnerships.
  • Maximize participant, organizational and community resources.
  • Promote user-friendly, accessible healthcare and social services systems.
  • Respond to current and future needs by taking the long view, focusing on the big picture and staying flexible and responsive to feedback from our participants, co-workers, volunteers, social service and healthcare providers, and other concerned constituents.
  • Balance direct service with advocacy for systemic change.
