HealthPartners & Perfecting Peds: Personalized Pharmacy Support for High-Risk Kids

HealthPartners is joining forces with Perfecting Peds to bring life-changing medication management to Minnesota's sickest children. Many of these young patients, covered by Medicaid and the Health Exchange, manage complex medication regimens across multiple specialists. This partnership ensures they get the safest, most effective treatments-without the guesswork. By embedding specialized pediatric pharmacists directly into the care journey, ealthPartners and Perfecting Peds are bridging critical gaps between prescribing and outcomes—ensuring that every medication serves its intended purpose safely and effectively. This model of proactive, pharmacist-led intervention not only improves clinical outcomes, but also eases the emotional and logistical burdens on families. It empowers caregivers with clarity and support, transforming uncertainty into confidence. As other health systems look to elevate care for high-risk pediatric populations, this partnership serves as a blueprint for scalable, sustainable, and compassionate innovation in pharmacy-driven care. This is just the beginning.
