Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Jamie Wilkey, a true beam of inspiration.

Jamie grew up in a small town in Wyoming where she got her start in pharmacy working at the local City Drug. There were only 3 pharmacies within 90 miles, and all of them were staffed by grumpy middle-age male pharmacists. She wanted to change that! 

So, after completing high school she went straight to the University of Wyoming and completed her undergraduate coursework and her PharmD degree in 6 years. She was active in student government while at UW and also served as president and later as vice-president of her pharmacy class. 

Upon graduation a week after her 24th birthday Jamie moved to Utah where she worked in a small-town community pharmacy up in the snowy Rocky Mountains next door to some of Utah’s world-class skiing. For the past 10 years she has worked part-time in the community setting while growing her family. She is a mama to four little, rambunctious boys who this year are ages 2,4,6&8. 

Nearly every year since graduating Jamie and her husband have taken at least one European vacation together because they love to travel and can’t get enough of it. Additionally, they take their little family to one (or more!) of the incredible United States National Parks as a family vacation.

Extensive travel and community pharmacy work schedules are not highly compatible, so in 2020 Jamie created her own job for herself that better suits her talents, her passions, and her family’s busy schedule. She abruptly jumped into the world of entrepreneurship and has found her true calling in life. She is the founder & CEO of Arches Health, LLC, and serves there as a precision medicine consultant pharmacist. To date, Arches Health focuses on two areas of precision medicine: functional wellness & pharmacogenomics. 

Jamie serves as a business partner with prescribers and independent pharmacies to incorporate these two areas into their practice to improve the health and vitality of their patients, and provide the practice with a stream of non-insurance income. 

Dr. Wilkey is optimistic about the future of pharmacy and knows great things are in store for those pharmacists who are willing to push boundaries, to think big, and to use the full extent of their education.
