ABSTRACT

Background: Milwaukee, Wisconsin continues to face notable gaps in health outcomes, particularly among residents in communities with limited resources. These groups experience disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular illness, metabolic disorders, and related risk factors. Pharmacists, with their training in clinical assessment, point-of-care testing, and patient counseling, are well positioned to help reduce these disparities. This project sought to design a pharmacist-directed health assessment initiative rooted in community partnerships to better support populations facing barriers to care.
