Dear iCare+ Members and Valued Partners,
As we head into McKesson ideaShare, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible momentum we’ve built and the accelerating growth of the iCare+ Digital Health Ecosystem. I’m excited to share some key updates that highlight how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed next.
We’ve just launched our first-ever payer program fully administered through IPC, and we’re thrilled to welcome Clover Health as our newest partner. This milestone marks a significant step forward and reflects the trust we’ve earned in the independent pharmacy space.
Looking ahead, we’re preparing to roll out Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) services. These offerings will empower iCare+ members to deliver high-impact clinical programs that enhance patient care and support long-term pharmacy sustainability.
These advancements reinforce a powerful message: iCare+ is more than a program—it’s a dynamic, future-ready Digital Health Ecosystem. Every solution we introduce is designed to help independent pharmacies evolve, compete, and thrive in today’s rapidly changing healthcare landscape.
We’re firing on all cylinders and investing in what matters most—our members, our patients, and the future of pharmacy. Be sure to visit us at booth #1448 during McKesson ideaShare—we’d love to connect with you!
Thank you for being part of this journey. The best is yet to come.
Warm regards,
Ashton Maaraba

Vacation Season Is Here!
Summer is officially in full swing, and that means more people are hitting the road, heading to the beach, and spending time away from home. While many folks are on vacation, their chronic conditions are still with them. High blood pressure, diabetes, or asthma, and the medications used to manage these conditions are still with our patients however far they may travel.
That’s where your pharmacy can step in.
With iCare+, your independent community pharmacy can offer telemedicine access and refill support for travelers who find themselves without their medications or in need of quick care. iCare+ connects patients to licensed providers virtually which keeps you at the center of care.
Here’s What iCare+ Enables You to Do this Summer
- Offer telemedicine consults in-store for walk-in vacationers and local patients alike.
- Provide refill solutions for patients in need, even when they are not from your area.
- Capture new business and referrals from visitors who will remember your service and refer their friends.

Remote Patient Monitoring
iCare+ RPM: Elevating Pharmacy-Driven Patient Care
Commercialization is rapidly approaching and our pilot sites are seeing consistent engagement, measurable outcomes, and growing enthusiasm from both pharmacy providers and patients. Shriver’s Pharmacy, one of our leading pilot partners, is preparing to onboard five new providers, a clear testament to the program’s impact, scalability, and alignment with real-world pharmacy workflows.
As we move toward wider rollout, the iCare+ RPM platform is proving to be a game-changer, offering independent pharmacies a streamlined way to elevate clinical services.
Heading to McKesson ideaShare? Make sure to visit the Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) booth to explore how iCare+ can transform your pharmacy practice. Discover how you can:
- Deliver high-quality, tech-enabled care directly to patients at home
- Strengthen collaborative relationships with local providers
- Establish a new clinical service line designed for sustainability and growth
The future of pharmacy is here. Let’s build it together, one patient, one provider, and one pharmacy at a time.

iCare+ Center of Excellence: RPM Support Beyond the Booth
As the independent pharmacy industry continues to evolve, remote patient monitoring (RPM) is no longer a “nice to have” it’s a key opportunity for pharmacies to expand care and generate new revenue. This year at McKesson ideaShare, we’re showing attendees what it really looks like to implement RPM with confidence and how iCare+ supports pharmacies every step of the way.
Our RPM program isn’t just about the devices it’s about the process. After your pharmacy signs up with iCare+ RPM, we don’t just hand you tools and wish you luck. We walk with you through the full journey: from device setup to platform training, workflow integration, and staff education. Our team provides best practices and real-world tips to make sure both your team, and your patients are comfortable and confident.
RPM isn’t just about devices, it’s about support. With the Center of Excellence, you get full-service guidance from day one. We help with setup, train your team, support your patients, and stay with you long after the conference wraps.
