Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America. #CHWandPharmacists act as advocates for patients with chronic heart disease connect patients to resources, leading to more cost-effective outcomes, saving $157 for every 1% drop in systolic blood pressure. @docpetit_art

Patients with chronic disease face a plethora of barriers beyond their control. #CHWandPharmacists working together result in individualized patient treatment plans specific to barriers patients face in their community for safer and more effective heath outcomes. @DorindaBorer

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

Make health equity in CT your New Year's resolution! What better way to address immigrant health disparities than with a dynamic duo of a trusted and culturally competent community health worker partnered with a pharmacist adept in healthcare. #CHWandPharmacists @MattLesser

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

Community health worker and pharmacist teams are best equip to practice preventative healthcare in minority communities. Together they can improve population health, leading to disease prevention and reduced healthcare costs. That’s a Win Win. #CHWandPharmacists @ChrisMurphyCT

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

[Lily Zhu @leeleezuu]

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

[Liz @eacmarino]

Chronic disease management can seem like a never ending money pit. Community health worker and pharmacist collaboration can improve outcomes & decrease costs. Let’s utilize these interprofessional teams to reduce healthcare costs for everyone! #CHWandPharmacists @SenBlumenthal

[Lily Zhu @leeleezuu]

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

[yiqian zhuo @YiqianZhuo]

Many patients have complex chronic diseases, requiring a lot of prescription medication. How would they remember what to take and what time? #CHWandPharmacists can help patients manage these leading to better health outcomes! @Alex4CT

[yiqian zhuo @YiqianZhuo]

Many patients don't have equal opportunities to healthcare due to various factors. Some are denied to the access of healthcare. How to remove barriers to health equity? #CHWandPharmacists can help to achieve health equity @ChrisMurphyCT

[Kory Stuessel @KoryStuessel]

Did you know that when Community Health Workers and Pharmacists work together patients see better health outcomes, lower costs, and lower barriers to health care? CT should look into this! These teams could benefit all of CT @ChrisMurphyCT #CHWandPharmacists

[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]

@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

[Kory Stuessel @KoryStuessel]

Multiple comorbidities, complex chronic diseases, and polypharmacy are the most commonly described patient-level factors that drive readmission into hospitals. Community Health Workers and Pharmacists working together can help combat this problem. #CHWandPharmacists @GovNedLamont

[Manuel Montouliu @MMontouliu]

@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

[Kory Stuessel @KoryStuessel]

When Pharmacists and Community Health Workers work together the results are amazing. We see improvements in patient communication, patient adherence, and patients’ overall condition. Why isn't CT doing more to foster this relationship?#CHWandPharmacists @Alex4CT
