The role of a pharmacist is more than counting meds. We help those that are underserved and don’t have the best coverage to afford care. We need to fix this gap so people don’t have to worry if they are able to afford their next medication. #CHWandPharmacists@RepJahanaHayes
Pharmacists are here for anyone that needs help especially those that are underserved and can’t get to a doctor. This is why we need to remove barriers to health equity and make more professions just as easily accessible. #CHWandPharmacists@SenBlumenthal
People should be able to feel at place when in a pharmacy or any other community health profession and not have to worry about stuggling to communicate their needs. I call to action that bills should be put in place to improve health literacy. #CHWandPharmacists@ChrisMurphyCT
70-75% of gaps in safe and effective medication use are due to failures in prescribing, clinical monitoring, and management coordination. Teams of community health workers and pharmacists could help reduce and prevent these failures. #CHWandPharmacists@RepJahanaHayes
