5% of people in Connecticut are without insurance (about 150,000) which discourages them from seeing a doctor or go to a walk-in clinic when they are sick. Why can’t pharmacist prescribe antibiotics or antivirals in these cases? @SenatorAnwarCT #CHWandPharmacists

@Kelleygreene25 @RepJoeCourtney A transition to a health outcome reimbursement model should help limit over-prescribing! #CHWandPharmacists

Connecticut deserves high quality low-cost healthcare and CHWs are the best way to achieve this goal. If we have the resources why not use them? Its time Connecticut. #CHWandPharmacists @ChrisMurphyCT

[Sumoda Achar @AcharSumoda]

Its time to control the money were loosing in healthcare! Its time to minimize the wasted effort. By using CHWs Pharmacists and other heath care professionals will be able to give wholistic care and increase adherence! Its time Connecticut. #CHWandPharmacists @MattLesser

[Sumoda Achar @AcharSumoda]

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

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

[Sam Chow @samberc2305]

Community health workers provide insights into a patient’s social determinants of health, and Pharmacists follow through with routine counseling and medication management for more holistic treatment regimens, and as a bonus: improved adherence. #CHWandPharamcists @GreggHaddad

[Daniela Barisano, PharmD @BarisanoDaniela]

A person’s health is influenced by their community, like if they have a home or access to transportation and groceries. Community health workers bridge providers to patients’ daily lives by helping patients develop plans to manage their conditions. @GreggHaddad #CHW&Pharmacists

[Kylie @KyloPricey]

With help and encouragement from community health workers, patients would be willing to share more information related to their treatment which, in turn, will help pharmacists be able to provide a higher quality of care towards patients #HCW&Pharmacists @RepNKD

[Kylie @KyloPricey]

Community health workers are able to build a strong relationship with patients and learn the full picture of their current state of health, so with pharmacist collaboration, we could provide a more direct quality of care to underserved populations #HCW&Pharmacists @MattLesser

[Kylie @KyloPricey]

Increased access to community health workers will help foreign language speaking patients to feel more comfortable accessing the care a pharmacy provides as they will be able to provide translations and monitor adherence #CHW&Pharmacists @SenatorAbrams

[Ryan Kurschner @KurschnerRyan]

@chrismurphyct Since pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare workers, how can we make sure that everyone is vaccinated against serious disease? Many adults 18 and up are not vaccinated and having them get these diseases cost more than vaccinating them.

@ChrisMurphyCT I see from your banner that you're a fan of @UConnHuskies ! Please consider what else we offer such as studies showing that when pharmacists are allowed to video conference patients we were able to save $291,114 in preventable med errors! #CHWandPharmacists

@Steinberg06880 Please reconvene the State Wide Public Care Access Authority Task Force! While the board has dentists to PAs and as of May 2011 recognized the importance of team based care, you have not involved pharmacists, the most accessible HCP, yet! #CHWandPharmacists
