APA joins BMS
November 18, 2010
THE American Pharmacists
Association has been selected to
take part in Bristol-Myers Squibb’s
Together on Diabetes -
Communities Uniting to Meet
America’s Diabetes Challenge.
The Challenge is funded by the
BMS Foundation, and is worth a
whopping $100 million (the largest
corporately funded diabetes
program in the US to date).
The APA will use its share of the
kitty to expand its care programs,
and to help integrate pharmacists
into patients’ health care teams.
“Pharmacists are one of the
most accessible health care
providers available to the patient,
and their collaborative care efforts
with patients, physicians, and other
health care providers have
consistently helped people with
diabetes improve therapeutic
outcomes, increase activity, and
lead healthier lives,” said Benjamin
Bluml, the APA Foundation’s Vice
President for Research.
“Diabetes presents a unique
opportunity to connect more
patients to an inter-disciplinary
health care team with a whole
person orientation within the context
of their community,” he added.
