Advanced Therapeutics Program (ATRx)

Pharmacotherapies

Our Mission 

The Departments of Medicine and Pharmacy have united to improve patient health outcomes through the safe and effective use of pharmaceuticals.

By fostering a strong, collaborative relationship among referring physicians and their patients, we strive to enhance communication, build trust, and deliver the highest standard of patient-centered care.

The Advanced Therapeutics (ATRx) program is the core of our portfolio, enabling patients living with chronic diseases greater and more equitable access to life-changing, next-generation therapies using innovative approaches that bridge a critical care gap.
 

Advanced Therapeutics Program Highlights

Our program brings a group of health experts together—like doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists—to help patients with diabetes, heart disease, weight loss, and kidney problems. Best of all, this team is virtual, so patients can receive extra care and support from home.

Patients enter the program through a referral from their UMass Memorial Health provider. Once they are referred, the ATRx team looks at each person’s health needs and works closely with their provider to pick the right treatment. They also help with things like insurance coverage, convenient pharmacy home delivery, and patient education.

Because everything happens online, patients don’t have to travel to extra appointments. The ATRx team checks in regularly to answer questions and make any needed changes to care plans. By sharing their skills and knowledge, these experts make it simpler for patients to get the best treatments and live healthier lives.
