Description:Chronic diseases are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States (US). People from racial and ethnic minority groups – a term that encompasses African American or Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and other non-White persons – have disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease than White persons due to inequities in social, economic, and environmental factors. Pharmacists are trusted health care professionals who typically have a strong understanding of local social, economic, and cultural dynamics. Research suggests that approximately 90% of the US population lives within five miles of a pharmacy and visits their pharmacist more frequently than primary care clinicians.
