With support from the BD Helping Build Healthy Communities Innovations in Care Award, four U.S. community health centers will be able to advance their innovative care models for at-risk patient populations.

Each center is awarded $225,000 to implement pharmacist-led comprehensive medication management programs for patients – many of whom are vulnerable to chronic disease. These initiatives focus on educating and counseling patients through team-based care, while also addressing Social Determinants of Health that impact patient outcomes.
