Texas Children’s Specialty Pharmacy, which just celebrated its eighth anniversary, serves 16 clinics across the Texas Children’s Hospital system, including locations at The Woodlands and West Campuses. Our pharmacy helps with everything from prior authorizations to same-day medication deliveries for patients within 60 miles of the hospital and next day medication delivery for those beyond 60 miles but within the state of Texas.
As part of an upcoming expansion, Texas Children’s is opening a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Missouri City in 2025. This state-of-the-art space will allow us to grow our Specialty Pharmacy’s services and add infusion pharmacy and compounding & repackaging services under one roof. These services enhance patient care by reducing hospital stays, improving care coordination and ensuring a smooth transition from hospital to home care.
“Patients can receive treatments in the comfort of their own homes while maintaining the high standards of care and safety they expect from Texas Children’s,” explained Infusion Pharmacy Manager Lamees Loubani. “This approach not only supports their recovery but also promotes overall well-being.”
As a Health-System Pharmacy Administration and Leadership (HSPAL) resident at Texas Children’s, Lamees collaborated with various teams, learned from outstanding leaders and immersed herself in our culture. As she begins her new role as manager, she is working to streamline workflows while maintaining high safety and quality standards. She is also encouraging open communication with her developing team to ensure they have the resources they need to work safely, effectively and efficiently. “I am eager to apply the insights I gained from different sides of pharmacy—inpatient, outpatient, finance, inventory and technology—to help our team expand into this new service line,” she said enthusiastically.
With the expansion, our Specialty Pharmacy and Infusion Pharmacy teams will have the chance to work in a modern facility designed to enhance patient care, making it easier for families to access the medications and infusion treatments their children need.
