How can we put a price on life-saving medications?! Since pharmacists are the most accessible health care providers, #CHWandpharmacists can work together to inform lower-income communities on methods to afford their prescriptions, such as using coupons! @ChrisMurphyCT

We can eliminate health care disparities by establishing programs that have #CHWandpharmacists work together to bridge the gap between the doctor's office and the community, thus providing access and quality care! @GreggHaddad

[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

[Lily Zhu @leeleezuu]

@contron18 @ChrisMurphyCT Yes! CHW and pharmacists can work together to inform patients on how to take their medications correctly.

[Lily Zhu @leeleezuu]

@contron18 @Alex4CT I totally agree!! CHW can work with the pharmacies to give patients with health disparities the care they need

Pharmacists have the training and knowledge to assess and address a patient’s health needs. They can help to bridge communication gaps that exist as a result of cultural differences and health literacy diparities and improve patient outcomes #CHWandPharmacists @RobinComey

[Kirsten Werner @KirstenWerner9]

Pharmacists are central figures in decreasing health spending through cost savings on medicines and cost avoidance due to their unique knowledge of medicines.Through alternative treatment methods and interventions, medical spending can be reduced #CHWandpharmacists @SeanScanlonCT

[Egla @eglaofficial]

Pharmacists can integrate their unique accessibility and clinical attributes to underserved and high risk populations. They can also work with a community health worker and bridge the cultural gap in order to provide better health care services. #CHWandPharmacists @JahanaHayesCT

[Egla @eglaofficial]

99% of medicare spending is related to chronic disease. It is time to focus our strategies on reducing unnecessary healthcare costs. Pharmacists and CHW are well poised to address the burden of chronic disease and to improve access to quality care. #CHWandPharmacists

[Egla @eglaofficial]

The state health department should focus on the increased engagement of community healthcare workers and increase the engagement of community pharmacists in the provision of medication and self-management by building and scaling programs. #CHWandPharmacists @SenBlumenthal

[Daniela Barisano, PharmD @BarisanoDaniela]

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
