Medication non-adherence has a huge economic impact, costing well over $100 billion annually. By working together, pharmacists and community health workers can unearth barriers and provide patients with the tools they need to overcome them. #CHWandPharmacists @ChrisMurphyCT

The homeless are 5x more likely to be admitted to the hospital than non-homeless, at a cost of $2-4K a day, for preventible diseases. By working with community health workers, pharmacists can serve as a tool for providing resources and care. #CHWandPharmacists @SenatorAbrams

Cultural and language barriers can lead to low health literacy and additional complications downstream. By working closely with community health workers, pharmacists can become more culturally competent and provide better care to their patients. #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

The role of a pharmacist is more than counting meds. We help those that are underserved and don’t have the best coverage to afford care. We need to fix this gap so people don’t have to worry if they are able to afford their next medication. #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

@steinberg06880 with CHWs AND pharmacists WORKING TOGETHER to help Cambodian refugees 93% of med related problems were identified and solved, inappropriate med use decreased 35%, and adherence increased 23%! let the numbers speak for themselves #CHWandPharmacists

@senatoranwarct CHWs and pharmacists working together can save our state money by decreasing the amount of health care needed and guiding the patients towards more cost effective treatments or services #CHWandPharmacists

Social determinants are the leading cause of health disparities. Supporting use of team-based care will give physicians more time to address social needs of patients. Coordinated care will reduce barriers between CT and achieving #healthequity. @SenatorAbrams #CHWandPharmacists

The cost of insulin has increased 64% since Jan. 2014. Patients requiring this medication shouldn't have to choose between their health and basic necessities(food). Thoughts on a state fund to assist in payment with the expected demand coming up?

Raising awareness of improving health literacy can lead to improved medication adherence. Providing the proper additional care for those with low health literacy can prevent future problems of noncompliance and ineffective results from occurring.

Pharmacists are known to be the most accessible health care providers. In high risk pops/surrounding areas, immunization clinics can limit or prevent these 10s of thousands of HPV cases yearly to prevent cancerous infections #CHWandPharmacists @GreggHaddad https://t.co/qs9zNUiZ2U
