When you're managing multiple chronic conditions, a long medication list, and a full calendar of appointments, someone needs to see the whole picture.

That's what we do.

What we do

Expert navigation, from appointment to appointment

Comprehensive Initial Assessment

A 90–120 minute review of your medical history, medications, specialists, and goals - resulting in a baseline care plan your whole family can understand.

Appointment Preparation & Clinical Advocacy

We prepare questions, review labs, and attend appointments with you - taking detailed notes and making sure your concerns are actually addressed.

Written Appointment Summaries

After every visit: diagnosis updates, medication changes, tests ordered, follow-ups, and action items - shared with you and authorized family members.

Medication Management

A continuously updated medication profile - what you take, why, who prescribed it, and what to watch for - with pharmacist-level review for interactions and duplications.

Care Coordination

We keep your primary care physician, specialists, pharmacies, home health, and therapists on the same page, so recommendations don't conflict.

In-Home Visits

We provide personalized, in-home medication organization services tailored to your needs.

What we don't do

Clear about our role

True North Rx works alongside your physicians - never in place of them. Being clear about where our role ends is part of how we keep you safe.

  • We do not: Diagnose illnesses or medical conditions
  • We do not: Prescribe or change medications
  • We do not: Replace your physicians or specialists
  • We do not: Provide nursing or hands-on personal care
  • We do not: Make medical decisions on your behalf
  • We do not: Provide transportation for patients

Why True North Rx

Not a companion service. A clinical practice.

Most patient advocates can drive you to an appointment. Very few can review a 14-medication regimen, spot a risky duplication, and raise it with your cardiologist in their own language. True North Rx is led by a board-certified clinical pharmacist - so your navigator understands the medicine, not just the logistics.

  • Medication reconciliation and polypharmacy review at every step
  • Clinical fluency with your physicians and specialists
  • Interpretation of recommendations in plain language
  • One accurate record shared across your entire care team

Your navigator

Rachel Burell, PharmD, BCPS

Rachel is a residency trained, Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist with years of clinical experience in medication management, patient education, and interdisciplinary care. She founded True North Rx because she saw the same story again and again: capable, caring families overwhelmed by a healthcare system that expects patients to coordinate their own care.

Her mission is simple - to be the trusted clinical partner who organizes, coordinates, and simplifies healthcare, so every appointment leads to better outcomes.
