Barriers to health equity are reliant on ignorance. Through the combined efforts of community health workers and pharmacists these barriers can be dismantled. We should demand more of ourselves and of each other. #CHWandPharmacists@SenBlumenthal
Close these safety "gaps" for medication use through value-based collaborative healthcare, saving $1.33 for every $1 spent on medications. #CHWandPharmacists@SenHSomers@SenatorAbrams
@iramnasreen@RepNKD@GreggHaddad Med errors are highly responsible for added costs to the healthcare system and ineffective therapy. The more pharmacists have time to check medication therapy the better off we are!
Pharmacists are the experts on medications. They can work with community health workers to reduce med errors by monitoring medication therapy closely as part of integrated health care teams as we transition into payment models like PMPM. #CHW&Pharmacists @RepNKD@GreggHaddad
Pharmacists can take on responsibilities that commensurate with their qualifications in team-based care by working with community health workers to provide medication management to those with complex medication regimens. #CHW&Pharmacists @RepNKD@GreggHaddad@docpetit_art
Pharmacists are the most accessible health professionals; they can work with community health workers to improve health literacy among the non-English speaking residents of CT all while saving health care dollars via capitated payments. #PMPM#CHW&Pharmacists @RepNKD@GreggHaddad

@Steinberg06880 Pharmacists and Community Health Workers work alongside each other to help refugees and immigrants alike. Both are accessible and vital to low income populations. They are a crucial part in reducing long-term population healthcare costs! #CHWandPharmacists
@SenatorAbrams, Interprofessional work helps some of the most underprivileged patients that pharmacists and community health workers service. Let's make it official and establish CHW certification process to integrate CHWs into healthcare alongside pharmacists #CHWandPharmacists
When Pharmacists and Community Health Workers work together the results are amazing. We see improvements in patient communication, patient adherence, and patients’ overall condition. Why isn't CT doing more to foster this relationship?#CHWandPharmacists@Alex4CT
Did you know that when Community Health Workers and Pharmacists work together patients see better health outcomes, lower costs, and lower barriers to health care? CT should look into this! These teams could benefit all of CT @ChrisMurphyCT#CHWandPharmacists
Multiple comorbidities, complex chronic diseases, and polypharmacy are the most commonly described patient-level factors that drive readmission into hospitals. Community Health Workers and Pharmacists working together can help combat this problem. #CHWandPharmacists@GovNedLamont
