This past August, Nicholas Hui, our co-founder and CPO had the opportunity to attend the Rexall Care Network 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁! ⛳ What made this event truly special was its mission.

For older adults, the hospitalization rate jumps to 𝟭𝟰,𝟬𝟬𝟬, often leading to serious complications. Vaccinations are particularly important for adults aged 𝟳𝟱+ and those aged 𝟲𝟬+ in nursing homes or chronic care facilities, as they are at higher risk for RSV complications. Fortunately, in many Canadian provinces, pharmacists are now authorized to administer RSV vaccines, increasing accessibility for these vulnerable populations. MedMe is proud to continue supporting pharmacists in the fight against RSV this season. Let’s work together to spread awareness and protect our communities from RSV! #RSVAwareness #PreventRSV #HealthcareProviders #MedMe #CanadaRSV #MedMeHealth

Living with eczema isn’t just about managing itchy skin—it’s a daily battle with discomfort, stress, and often, self-esteem. While eczema has no cure, early treatment is key to reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. 🔍 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲: - Red, inflamed skin - Persistent itching - Dry, cracked patches If you're dealing with eczema, 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 to seeking treatment. With their expanded scope of practice, pharmacists can now treat the symptoms of eczema*.

💊✨ 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆! ✨💊 Today, we celebrate the invaluable contributions of pharmacy technicians who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure patients receive the best care possible. As the backbone of the pharmacy team, they ensure that patients receive safe and timely access to their medications, manage complex workflows, and offer crucial support to pharmacists and patients alike. In some provinces, they also assist in point-of-care testing, educate patients on medical devices, and—after specialized training—administer vaccines. With flu and cold season upon us, it’s important to recognize their role in vaccine administration. In certain provinces, pharmacy technicians can deliver flu, COVID-19, and RSV vaccines, helping to protect our communities. To all the pharmacy technicians out there—thank you! #NationalPharmacyTechniciansDay #RxTechDay #PharmacyTech #MedMeHealth

Among adults with chronic medical conditions, this number rises slightly to 𝟒𝟒%—but these figures are still far from the national vaccination goal of 𝟖𝟎%. While vaccination rates among older adults aged 65+ are closer to the target at 𝟕𝟑% , there’s still room for improvement. We all have a role to play in keeping our loved ones safe, especially those who are more vulnerable to severe flu complications. 🔊 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐮 𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭? Getting vaccinated is your best defense against the flu. It lowers your risk of illness, helps prevent serious respiratory complications, and reduces the spread of the virus to others. The flu vaccine is recommended for nearly everyone aged 6 months and older, with the best time to get vaccinated being in the fall or early winter. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in keeping our communities healthy and preventing our healthcare systems from becoming overwhelmed.

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🌎 Today, we celebrate the vital role mental health plays in pharmacy practice, patient care, and our daily lives. Initiatives like the Bloom Program in Nova Scotia are enhancing access to mental health and substance use care. Through Bloom, pharmacists provide personalized care and advocacy, share information about local resources, assist in navigating the mental health system, and help manage medication-related issues. MedMe is proud to have supported over 800 appointments through Bloom, significantly improving patient outcomes and making a positive impact. Let’s prioritize open conversations about mental well-being and support the health of patients, our peers, and ourselves. Together, we can foster a supportive environment and uplift those in need. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealth #BloomProgram #MedMeHealth
