Healthcare should be accessible to people from all walks of life.Having CHWs will ensure that Pharmacists and other Heathcare professionals are paying attention to cultural influences as well cultural healthcare disparities.Its time Connecticut #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

[Jackson Yost @JacksonYost2]

Pharmacists and CHWs are in a unique position because they have direct communication with patients, many which struggle with health literacy. An emphasis should be put on effective communication to insure that everyone understands their care.#CHWandPharmacists @ChrisMurphyCT

[Jackson Yost @JacksonYost2]

Medication adherence is an issue facing the healthcare field. Patients being inconsistent or incorrect with their medications can be detrimental to their health. Pharmacists and CHWs are there to counsel patients on positive adherence practices. #CHWandPharmacists @SenBlumenthal

[Jackson Yost @JacksonYost2]

Social determinants of health affect populations and their ability to receive adequate care. It is the duty of a pharmacist to help alleviate these disparities. #CHWandPharmacists @RepJahanaHayes

@Anxhela26961077 Great point! Communication is key

[Angela Sang @AngelaSang4]

No matter how educated you are, what career you have, or what background you come from, everyone is susceptible to a lack of health literacy. #CHWandPharmacists can help improve health literacy to improve treatment outcomes! @SenatorAnwarCT

[Anxhela Lito @Anxhela26961077]

Local pharmacists working with community health workers can promote and educate people about disease prevention instead of disease treatment #CHWandPharmacists

[Anxhela Lito @Anxhela26961077]

Medication reconciliation is very important when pharmacists start dispensing medication for a new patient and communication between clinical pharmacists and retail pharmacists should be promoted #CHWandPharmacists

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

[Hannah E Ayers @HannahEAyers1]

@RepNKD What people don't know CAN hurt them. Utilize pharmacists in educating the community about social programs, nutrition, and individual behaviors to address social determinant of health #CHW&Pharmacists

[Hannah E Ayers @HannahEAyers1]

@SenBlumenthal Did you know health literacy includes the ability to act on health info? Use the expertise of #CHW&Pharmacists to improve health literacy in patients with linguistic barriers to better support them in their health care goals.

Check out this thread below. Patients should not have to drown themselves in >$10,000 in debt when they go to the hospital. Let’s utilize pharmacists and their extensive knowledge in health care to provide cost-effective treatments to our patients. @MattLesser #CHWandPharmacists

[Gerta Memeti @gertamti]

UK citizens are shocked to hear the prices of health care necessities, such as EpiPens. Lets collaborate with pharmacists to fight the increasing costs of the EpiPens and ensure its availability to patients in need. @ChrisMurphyCT #CHWandPharmacists https://t.co/QfrXeGGwTa

[Gerta Memeti @gertamti]

Pharmacists and community health workers have the potential to change our patients perception of health care by working one on one with patients. We can improve health literacy and this will improve outcomes that can save future time and money. @GreggHaddad #CHWandPharmacists
