Commitment to Patient-Centered Care
“As an MTM pharmacist at HHS, I have the opportunity to work with both HIV/AIDS patients and infectious disease providers every day. For patients, my role often includes coordinating medications, assessing appropriateness, safety, and efficacy of those drugs, and helping improve adherence or manage side effects. For providers, I am a resource for drug information questions and management of complex medication issues for our patients. In addition, I work with our Gastroenterology and Liver Clinic to help expand pharmacist access for patients living with Hepatitis C.”
