Patient Care Coordinator & Pharmacy Technician

At Comprehensive Care Pharmacy (CCRX), we're redefining what community pharmacy can be. Our Patient Care Coordinator & Pharmacy Technicians are helping pioneer a new, patient-centered model of care that goes beyond traditional dispensing to improve the health and well-being of the patients we serve.

This unique hybrid role combines approximately 50% traditional pharmacy technician responsibilities with 50% patient care coordination, including chronic disease support, medication synchronization (Med Sync), remote patient monitoring, wellness program development, and proactive patient outreach.

We're looking for someone who is passionate about building meaningful relationships, guiding patients through their healthcare journey, and making a lasting impact on health outcomes. In this role, you'll serve as a trusted partner for patients by coordinating care, supporting medication adherence, promoting preventive wellness, and helping individuals successfully manage chronic conditions.

This is more than a pharmacy technician position—it's an opportunity to help shape the future of community pharmacy.

Reporting Structure & Accountability

The Patient Care Coordinator reports directly to the Pharmacy Owner and works under the clinical guidance of the Pharmacist-in-Charge (PIC). This role collaborates closely with pharmacists, technicians, wellness providers, and other members of the healthcare team.
