1 in 6 people will struggle with substance use, and 90% of them start as teenagers.

That’s why OneroRx pharmacies across Iowa, including Medicap Pharmacy and Community Pharmacy, are proud to support YSS and its statewide “Before It Becomes More” campaign.

The campaign helps Iowans:
✅ Recognize the warning signs of opioid misuse
✅ Start conversations early and connect at-risk young people with support
✅ Reduce the stigma around addiction and recovery

Participating locations will share prevention resources with patients right at the pharmacy counter, because pharmacists are among the most accessible healthcare providers in the communities we serve.

“Community pharmacies have always been about more than filling prescriptions,” said Joseph Dunham II, Chairman and CEO of OneroRx. “Supporting efforts like ‘Before It Becomes More’ gives us another opportunity to help educate our communities, encourage important conversations and connect people with resources that make a difference.”

Please join us in congratulating Brad Peterson from our NuCara Pharmacy in Waterloo as our Employee of the Month for January.

Brad consistently goes above and beyond for the patients we serve. During the winter months, he often takes extra time to brush snow off patients’ cars and clear safe paths so they can get to their vehicles safely. These small but meaningful acts of kindness make a big difference for our patients.

Brad’s thoughtfulness, compassion, and willingness to help others truly embody what exceptional patient care is all about. We are proud to have him on the NuCara team.

Congratulations, Brad, and thank you for all you do for our patients.
