BERKELEY, Calif. — As early as last week COVID-19 has continued to surge throughout many states, including California, Georgia, and Hawaii. According to the CDC, over 2.6 million cases have been reported and a total of 127,299 deaths. In addition, the COVID-19 crisis is still limiting patients’ access to their primary care physicians, which means the ability to speak with a pharmacist continues to be more critical than ever.

Valor Compounding Pharmacy (Valor), a company based in Berkeley, CA, has taken the COVID-19 crisis head on and become a proactive partner in patient health care. Valor, which produces customized medications for patients with unique health needs, has designed several new programs, including:

• Free shipping of prescriptions to patients’ homes
• ValorConnect, an after-hours resource for doctors and patients to speak with a pharmacist
• Flat-rate pricing for mental health, menopause and erectile dysfunction compound medications
• Direct access to recommended supplements to protect one’s health from COVID-19

“We were compelled to put these programs in place to better support our patient’s continued access to their compounded medications. Having a more effective online presence has allowed Valor to serve its customers and patients better than ever,” said Rick Niemi, CEO of Valor.
