Community Pharmacists’ Impact on Cardiometabolic Health
Protect Patient Access
The National Forum for Heart Disease & Stroke Prevention and 32 other organizations representing patients, healthcare providers, public health, payers and purchasers called on Congress and the White House to implement policies that will expand access to care options for patients nationwide, especially in underserved or otherwise vulnerable populations. This builds on a Joint Policy Statement issued by members and partners of the National Forum’s Value & Access Initiative, with recommendations that would enable people to obtain more healthcare services from pharmacists, often closer to where people live or work.
