Katie Herrick
Associate Director, Patient Services
Katie connects patients who have been prescribed Blueprint Medicine’s therapies with access and supportive services.
“When I applied for this job, they worked really closely with me to make a hybrid schedule that worked with my life... I think that the way Blueprint Medicines adjusted their expectations of work-life balance and office culture to accommodate me says a lot about the company.”
- Tell us more about your job. What are you responsible for your role?
- I’m responsible for the day-to-day operations of patient services. I put into place, and adjust as needed, the policies and procedures that our patient services team follows and I oversee the vendor who works directly with our prescribed patients. I also coordinate with specialty pharmacies to ensure our patients are referred to the best program they are eligible for to access their prescribed therapies.
- What attracted you to work at Blueprint Medicines? How did you know it would be a good match?
- I liked the small-company feel of Blueprint. I had heard a lot of great things about Blueprint before I joined, and everyone I met during the interview process was friendly and welcoming. Learning about their extensive pipeline of products also left me feeling like there was big, important work to do for patients who might not have had great options.
- Tell us about when you’ve felt most proud of your work or colleagues.
- My favorite stories are those when a patient responds really well to a treatment and is able to spend more time with their family and friends because of it. There have been a couple of very specific instances when our group was able to get a patient medication shipped out on a Friday night and by Monday, the patient is already responding in a hugely positive way. Nothing is more rewarding than that.
- What do you value most about your company’s or team’s culture? What sets it apart from other places you’ve worked?
- I think there is a fun vibe about the office. I always appreciate a group who knows there is hard work to be done but can work well together to get it done while having a little fun along the way.
- How does working at this company allow you to have a work-life balance?
- When I applied for this job, they worked really closely with me to make a hybrid schedule that worked with my life. Before the COVID-19 pandemic started, I was commuting two days a week and working from home the other three days, which allowed me to spend more time with my kids, whom I previously was only really seeing on the weekends. Now, we are remote most of the time, but I think that the way Blueprint Medicines adjusted their expectations of work-life balance and office culture to accommodate me says a lot about the company.
- What advice do you have for someone applying to jobs at your company?
- Come in with a great attitude. Being a great person to work with is worth its weight in gold.
