“What an amazing experience to discover all the countless resources in my community!!!​

I am so grateful to have gone through the training and reach out and connect with so many organizations that I can refer patients to. It’s changed the way I think, communicate, and interact with our patients.”

“My pharmacy sits on the border of two very different counties with very different resources. It’s been an enlightening experience to observe the differences in resources available to patients from both counties. Being able to provide direction for patients needing support – everything from a safe place to sleep to local food pantries and where to access free rental computers and internet – means that in my role as a technician, I’ll be able to provide better care to members of my community.​”

“In taking this course, I have been given a golden opportunity to network resources within my community. I am now confident that I can quickly assess and address my patients’ needs and get them the help they need. This [could include] helping them to find a new job, necessary mediation over a dispute, a place to wash their clothes, or even a meal for the night. I look forward to sharing my knowledge within my pharmacy and throughout our community.​”
