Collette Onyejekwe, PharmD, RPh, MPH

Hello and welcome to CCOPharma! We’re thrilled to have you here. My name is Collette Onyejekwe, and I am the founder and CEO of CCOPharma, a health education company. In 2018, I founded CCOPharma with the mission of helping patients achieve and maintain their health throughout their lives. My experience working in community and hospital pharmacies, combined with a personal experience involving high medical costs for my son’s anaphylaxis treatment, inspired me to create CCOPharma. I saw firsthand the struggles patients face when they can’t afford their medications and realized the need for broader support.

CCOPharma started with a medication assistance database and a blog to provide valuable health information. We’ve since expanded to offer educational activities for healthcare, human services, and social work professionals. Our goal is to enhance patient health outcomes, advocate for patients, and promote health equity through the sharing of information and resources.
