Medication Therapies
Evaluation and guidance from pharmacists to optimize your treatment.
If your doctors have prescribed multiple medications or you have been diagnosed with a chronic health condition requiring medications, you may benefit from evaluation and counseling from the clinical pharmacists at Memorial Hospital’s Medication Therapies Center.
It’s often confusing to manage multiple medications, and to correctly follow the instructions written on each prescription label. Other factors such as your diet, exercise habits, and taking vitamins, supplements, and other medications can affect how well your medications work or interact.
When you meet with our pharmacist, he or she will evaluate your medication regimen to determine if there are conflicts. The pharmacist will work with you to develop a customized plan that you can understand and follow, to maximize your health benefits. You will also receive lifestyle education information that will support your treatment.
Specific clinics ready to serve you include:
- Medication Therapy Review Clinic
- Anticoagulation Clinic
- Heart Failure Clinic
- COPD Clinic
- Diabetes Clinic
- Transitions of Care Clinic
- Lipid Clinic
One of our clinics, the Transitions of Care Clinic, is part of a program that starts with hospitalized patients. Our team of clinical pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and medical technicians assist patients while they are hospitalized, then they come to the Transitions of Care Clinic after discharge to provide support geared toward preventing a return visit to the hospital.
A physician referral is required for your initial appointment. Reports are sent to your doctor following each visit.
