Pharmacist & Co-Founder
Sarah Hannig, PharmD, BCPS
Hello! I am a pharmacist in Omaha, Nebraska. Originally from Sioux Falls, SD, I received a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Creighton University in 2019, completed a PGY1 pharmacy practice residency at Creighton University Medical Center-Bergan Mercy, and went on to complete a PGY2 in Palliative Care & Pain Management at the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy. For the past few years, I have been building an opioid stewardship program at CHI Health in Omaha, NE. In addition to opioid stewardship tasks, I worked closely with the acute pain service, supported our palliative care team with difficult symptom management cases, and managed both detoxification and initiation of medications for substance use disorders in the hospital. In 2025, I transitioned to a remote position as System Opioid Stewardship Manager for Baptist Health in Kentucky. My passion is addressing stigma and barriers to evidence-based medicine while providing compassionate care for individuals with pain, palliative care, and substance use needs.
