Description
Pharmacy deserts — communities with limited or no access to retail pharmacies — are expanding, and health systems are increasingly filling the gap. This session highlights innovative access models including health system-owned community pharmacies, telepharmacy programs and mobile dispensing units. Leaders share what it takes to build sustainable access programs that serve vulnerable populations while advancing the health system's equity mission.
