Thompson's TelePharm Technology Grand Opening in Victor, IA
Our program from Business & Industry Appreciation Day was Jon Thompson and Todd Thompson (and their partners) talking about their innovative Reliant Long Term Care Pharmacy, and their ground-breaking Tele-pharmacy business they were about to open in Victor, Iowa at a pharmacy that they owned. (Jon Thompson also owns Bean's Pharmacy in Washington.)
On Friday, they had their Grand Opening, and Governor Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds were the special guests. The HLV 4th and 5th grade classes attended, along with about 80 area community people, the IMS economics class, many family members, and Washington Rotarians Terry Engelken, Craig Davis, and Ed Raber.
The innovative software to make this business possible was written by Roby Miller, co-founder of TelePharmTechnologies (along with Jon and Todd Thompson), and graduate of IMS, University of Iowa, and Stanford University.
This was a neat and historic event to attend, and Victor, Iowa was very excited about keeping their local drug store open. This could be a big deal business in Washington, Iowa.
