Who Are Pharmacy-Based Community Health Workers?

Pharmacy-based CHWs are frontline public health professionals who connect individuals and families to the care, services, and education they need to live healthier lives.

They are:

  • Trusted Community Members – Deeply connected to the patients their pharmacy serves.
  • Liaisons – Linking patients to health and social services.
  • Advocates – Communicating with healthcare providers and agencies on behalf of patients.
  • Capacity Builders – Expanding outreach, education, and patient support services.
  • Health Promoters & Educators – Creating and delivering programs to improve community health.

Pharmacy Technicians trained as CHWs help:

  • Achieve better health outcomes for pharmacy patients.
  • Strengthen community bonds and trust in the pharmacy.
  • Develop new revenue streams to grow and sustain the business.
