Facility PMOP Coordinator
VA Illiana Health System
Powell, Ohio, United States
Jessica Geiger, PharmD MS BCPS is the facility PMOP Coordinator for the VA Illiana Health System. And, as a chronic pain sufferer since the age of 14, Jessica understands better than most the frustration and unnecessary suffering that comes when pain is not believed or not managed well. Since herniated disks don’t typically happen to 14-year old’s, she was constantly up against being afraid to ask for what she needed, or physicians who either didn’t want to or know what to prescribe for her to function.
Pharmacy in the setting of pain management allows Jessica the satisfaction of making a profound impact by providing appropriate treatment coupled with compassionate care.
Jessica has a passion for education, specifically concerning opioids. She has presented at multiple local, state, national and international conferences about pain management and palliative care. Additionally, she teaches a pain and palliative elective to pharmacy students at her alma mater. She plays an active role in the Society of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacists.
