The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted our nation’s long-standing disparities and inequities in health status and access to health care services. A November 2020 JMCP article analyzed disparities in medication use (DMU) and offered four suggestions for the managed care pharmacy community to help eliminate DMU. AMCP CEO Susan Cantrell authored a Viewpoints article for JMCP to assess progress in addressing those suggestions and combating DMU. https://bit.ly/3xFCjXQ #healthdisparities #healthequity #covid19 #managedcare #pharmacy #pharmacists

We extend our thoughts to every AMCP member and their family impacted by these hurricanes.
With Hurricane Milton making landfall, the threat of severe weather sadly remains an ever-present concern across our country. But as quickly as these storms move, their impact often results in lasting damage; recovery is measured in terms of months and years. So many parts of our country are still reeling from the devastating Hurricane Helene; in particular, my home state of North Carolina faces a long and arduous process as it seeks to respond and rebuild. AMCP knows that affected communities across the United States still need our support. Whether it be our employees, members, AMCP Affiliates, or even the patients we serve, AMCP stands ready to lend a helping hand. Here are three charities that are playing their part in getting people back on their feet—and if you can give, thank you for playing yours. - American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides comfort to people affected by disasters; supplies about 40% of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; distributes international humanitarian aid; and supports veterans, military members and their families.
