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

The most common therapy-related barrier is the complex treatments associated with hypertension. #CHWandPharmacists can work together to help patients take their medications at the right dose,time, using the right methods. @ChrisMurphyCT let’s save lives by improving med adherence

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

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

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

Drug non adhereance costs billions of dollars due to medication waste and poor patient outcomes/adverse effects. Pharmacists and Community Health workers help by providing free, one on one patient counseling. #CHWandPharmacists @RepNKD @GreggHaddad

[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

[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]

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

[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.

[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]

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

[Lily Zhu @leeleezuu]

there's already evidence that pairing nurses w/ CHWs to manage chronic diseases can save up to $190 just from a 1% drop in blood pressure, so imagine what #CHWandpharmacists can do by further decreasing prescription drug costs! @MattLesser

[Manuel Montouliu @MMontouliu]

@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
