I love that we are such an integral part of a patient’s health care team and can make a positive impact on their wellness.” –Elsa Fuentes, R.Ph. ? Laredo, TX #APhM2024 #PharmacistsMonth #pharmacy

Stigma and embarrassment may make patients with suspected sexually transmitted infections (STIs) more likely to approach a trusted and accessible #pharmacist for help than a physician.

Free this month to TPA members! https://lnkd.in/gzPh6R6M
