The current medication may not be the RIGHT medication! Let's utilize the accessibility of #CHW&Pharmacists to get patients on the right drug therapy to maximize care and be cost efficient @ChrisMurphyCT

Children aged 13-17 have the lowest rates of flu vaccination for any adolescent age group. Expanding the age range in CT for which pharmacists can prescribe and administer prescriptions will help to decrease this disparity. #CHWandPharmacists @GreggHaddad

Children and Young Adults in CT have much higher rates of asthma compared to the national average. Collaboration between CHW's and Pharmacists to create and monitor Asthma Action Plans will help patients and their families with managing their symptoms. #CHWandPharmacists @RepNKD

Gay and Bisexual men, especially those of color, are at a much higher risk of HIV infection than any other group. Allowing Pharmacists to prescribe PEP and PrEP in CT will reduce the rates of new transmissions due to our ease of accessibility. #CHWandPharmacists @ChrisMurphyCT

@MattLesser Help us help them. Let's focus on removing barriers from Pharmacists and Community Healthcare Workers, which will allow them to better remove barriers to healthcare for underprivileged populations. #CHWandPharmacists

[Manuel Montouliu @MMontouliu]

@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

@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

Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare provider and can help patients choose the best over-the-counter product, like cold or flu drugs.

Pharmacists prevent adverse reactions, reduce healthcare costs, and improve patient outcomes. @GreggHaddad #CHWandPharmacists

[Jack Mountain @_jack_mountain]

70-75% of gaps in safe and effective medication use are due to failures in prescribing, clinical monitoring, and management coordination. Teams of community health workers and pharmacists could help reduce and prevent these failures. #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

Collaborative practice agreements using pharmacists can help save health practices money and improve health outcomes especially in patients with chronic disease or complex medication regimens. Currently, collaborative services are not widely used. @RobinComey #CHWandPharmacists

Since pharmacist are the most accessible health care provider they are the most convenient for people to get vaccines & can easily teach a community on the benefits of vaccines This can increase number of vaccinations and decrease disease outbreaks #CHWandPharmacists @RobinComey

[Jack Mountain @_jack_mountain]

In the US, estimates suggest for every 1 dollar spent on medication $1.33 is spent on the treatment of medication injury. Teams of community health workers and pharmacists can help prevent medication injury which saves money and improve outcomes. #CHWandPharmacists @RobinComey

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Pharmacists and community health workers can work together to remove barriers that create health disparities. This is a necessity as many are going without proper care to keep them healthy. @ChrisMurphyCT #CHWandPharmacists

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Too many mistakes occur yearly with medication errors. Pharmacists have to work with physicians and community health workers to ensure that these things don't happen. They are the most trusted profession and have to remain that way. #CHWandPharmacists @RepNKD

[Dylan D @dyland359]

Pharmacists being so accessible can spread the word about the pros of vaccination. This huge role that pharmacists play can have a huge effect on decreasing potential outbreaks in disease. @SenatorAbrams

@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

[Bailey Conkey @ConkeyBailey]

Victims of torture and trauma have higher rates of diabetes and hypertension without obesity due to elevated cortisol levels. Healthcare professionals need to learn how to recognize and talk about trauma with refugee patients #CHWAndPharmacists @SenatorAnwarCT
