Oncology Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa

A team of six oncology certified pharmacists are on staff in our cancer center. Before compounding, our pharmacists complete a 20 step checklist for each patient getting treatment to ensure safety and accuracy. After compounding, both pharmacists and nurses complete detailed safety and accuracy checks before administering meds. Pharmacists conduct patient education on oral chemo regimens, drug/drug interactions and medication reconciliation. We also have an on-site lab where lab work can be drawn and results reviewed by the physician, enabling prompt treatment of the patient.

CONVENIENT PRESCRIPTION DELIVERY FOR CANCER PATIENTS

As of 2020, we offer a Prescription Delivery Service for our patients. Most medicines prescribed by your oncologist: oral oncolytics (chemo and immunotherapy) and supportive care medications (antinausea, etc.) can be filled. Most prescriptions are delivered directly to you at the Manderson Cancer Center, or if needed, mailed to your home. We will collect your copay when services are rendered. We accept cash or debit/ credit cards when we deliver your prescriptions. If our pharmacy is unable to fill your prescription, we will help you in find the best place to get your prescription. We will still provide medication assistance and personal consultations.

FOCUSED ON SAFETY, SERVICE, AND SUPPORT

Our oncology pharmacy team is committed to delivering safe, accurate, and timely medications as part of your comprehensive cancer care. With thorough safety protocols, personalized medication counseling, and convenient prescription delivery options, we make it easier for you to focus on healing. Whether you're receiving treatment at the center or at home, we're here to support you every step of the way.

Expanding Opportunity Through Innovation

How OTIDE and DCH Are Empowering Nurses in West Alabama

In a powerful new partnership designed to strengthen the region’s nursing workforce, the University of Alabama’s Office of Teaching Innovation and Digital Education (OTIDE) and DCH Health System have joined forces to expand educational opportunities for local nurses and healthcare professionals. This collaboration is more than a traditional university–hospital partnership — it’s a modern, flexible model of learning that meets healthcare workers where they are.
What OTIDE Brings to the Partnership
OTIDE serves as the bridge between higher education and real-world professionals, helping nurses and hospital staff balance their demanding schedules while continuing to grow academically. Through UA Online, OTIDE delivers over 100 fully online degree and certificate programs — including the RN-to-BSN program from the Capstone College of Nursing — specifically designed for working adults. For DCH nurses, this means: Access to Flexible, High-Quality Education: Nurses can pursue their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) online while continuing their roles at the bedside. Personalized Academic Support: OTIDE offers success coaching, online tutoring, and writing-review services tailored for adult learners balancing career and coursework. Scholarships and Financial Assistance: DCH employees and their families gain access to scholarship opportunities and grants that help make higher education more affordable. Career Growth Beyond the Bedside: OTIDE’s programs extend well beyond nursing, opening doors to continuing-education courses, leadership certificates, and advanced healthcare administration degrees.
