UF pharmacy researchers hope to reduce the risk for heart disease and stroke for at-risk patients within a community pharmacy setting. With personal assistance from the pharmacy’s Community Health Worker, patients can better understand and manage multiple medications to improve their health outcomes and quality of life.

For information about this service, contact Hillsboro Specialty Pharmacy, 4505 E. Hillsborough Ave. Tampa, Fl. 33610, (813) 682-8400
