Our Approach

Medication can improve your health but also cause unwanted side-effects and put a dent in your budget. Through the Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Clinic, the highly-skilled pharmacists at Deaconess help you get the most out of your medication. They have a deep understanding of prescription and over-the-counter drugs and take the time to review the costs and benefits of each medication you take.

During a one-on-one session with a Deaconess pharmacist, you can expect to:

• Review each medication prescribed to you
• Review each over-the-counter medication and/or herbal supplement you take
• Review lab results
• Discuss possible drug interactions
• Discuss possible side-effects
• Learn how to take your medicine as prescribed
• Learn more about your chronic disease, illness, etc.
• Change the amount/strength of your medication dose as appropriate
• Identify the lowest price option for your medication
