June is Men's Health Month, an important observance dedicated to raising awareness about health care for men and focusing on encouraging boys, men and their families to practice and implement healthy living decisions.

It's an honor for our company to observe Juneteenth today, as we continue to support racial justice while fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace for our associates. Juneteenth commemorates the anniversary of news of the Emancipation Proclamation reaching the most isolated slaves in Texas, bringing an end to slavery in the United States.

It is our hope that our associates are able to use the time away from work as a day for celebrating and supporting black-owned businesses, creators, and community-led organizations.

In our role as a PBM to Medicare Part D plan sponsors, PerformRx has developed a Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program into our benefit structure to monitor beneficiaries who have multiple chronic diseases, take multiple Part D medications, and have annual drug costs that exceed a predetermined threshold.

We’ve collaborated with our health plan clients to implement MTM programs designed to benefit their specific member populations. Results can be evidenced by our ability to significantly increase the Comprehensive Mediation Review (CMR) completion rates for our clients.

Tomorrow is Family Health and Fitness Day! While there are still some challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic, many of us continue to enjoy more time at home with our families.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at PerformRx. The annual celebration of Pride allows us to recognize the years of discrimination and struggles the LGBTQ+ community has endured.

We applaud those who stand on their shoulders to continue the fight for the right to equality, for all LGBTQIA+ individuals. Much like other annual celebrations we should strive to bring continual awareness, education and advocacy to ensure full equality throughout every day of the year, not just each June.

It's our honor to remember and celebrate those who gave their lives for our freedom and thank those who continue to serve our great country. We hope our clients and their members have an enjoyable and relaxing weekend!
