Pharmacists are increasingly becoming vital members of the healthcare team. They recommend, manage and improve patient compliance with medication for acute and chronic disease states. They provide advice on how to lead a healthy lifestyle, conduct health and wellness screenings and offer immunizations. They also educate other health professionals about the impact of medications on an individual’s physical and cognitive function – and contribute to the improved health, wellness, and safety of the patients they serve.
