Check out this cause of death post from 1632! 🕰️ "Consumption" and "Scurvy," dominated public health concerns in the 17th century, but many of these ailments, which were once widespread and fatal, have now been effectively managed or eradicated thanks to medical and public health advances. Did you notice terms like "Livergrown" and "King’s Evil" and how they are named after symptoms rather than based on underlying causes as we do today? 🤔🔍 #Pills2Me #CareDelivered #PharmacyHistory #MedicalAdvancements #HealthcareEvolution #PublicHealth #PharmacyImpact

Millions of Americans live in "pharmacy deserts," where access to essential health services is severely limited.🚫 These areas, often low-income, lack not only medication access, but other vital services provided by pharmacies such as routine vaccinations, opioid/addiction management therapy, contraception, and patient counseling. A study published by Health Affairs Scholar found that nearly 16 million people in the U.S. reside in these deserts, with 95% of these deserts having no pharmacies at all. The populations most affected are often younger and more likely to rely on public health insurance, highlighting the gaps in state-level policies and the need for comprehensive solutions. 🏥 While medication delivery services like Pills2Me (Techstars NYC ‘22) can help alleviate the impact of pharmacy deserts by bringing essential medications to those in need, addressing the root causes requires significant policy changes and increased support for pharmacy access in underserved communities. 📦💉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/d6Fnt8gT #HealthcareAccess #PharmacyDeserts #CommunityHealth #Pills2Me #CareDelivered #HealthEquity

What if clinicians prescribed produce like they do medications? What is a #nutritionprescription ? Well, it doesn't have anything to do with prescription medication, but it may be just as important to your health.🍎🥦 A growing number of studies have found that access to fresh fruits and vegetables can significantly improve health outcomes, and that programs like these can help combat conditions such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. These programs gained attention after the 2022 White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health decided to prioritize access to nutrition for users of Medicaid and Medicare. 🌿✨ Check out this article to learn more about this initiative, and how you may qualify for these programs: https://lnkd.in/gcxcsV9m #healthinnovation #freshproduce #Pills2Me #CareDelivered

The start of August means back to school, and it’s time to prepare for a successful and healthy year! 📚 Along with school supplies and new schedules, it's crucial to manage your child's medication properly. Here are some tips for medication management as your child heads back to school: 1. Ensure the school has the most recent information about your child's medications and health conditions. 📝 2. Keep track of medication schedules and dosages. Use a pill organizer to ensure your child takes the correct dose at the right time. 💊 3. Inform teachers and school nurses about your child's medication needs and any potential side effects. 🏫 4. Check the storage requirements for each medication and ensure they are kept at the appropriate temperature, especially during hot weather. 🌡️ 5. Educate your child about the importance of taking their medication as prescribed and not sharing it with others. 🚸 #Pills2Me #caredelivered #backtoschool #medicationmanagement #healthykids

As temperatures continue to break records globally, it's important to understand how this heat can affect the medications you take. According to the National Weather Service, certain drugs may increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. For example, antidepressants, including SSRIs, may increase sweating, leading to a higher risk of dehydration. 💊🌡️ Additionally, storing devices outside the recommended temperature storage range may affect their ability to deliver medication (e.g., inhalers, blood sugar monitors, insulin pumps). 🩺📉 Remember to read the storage conditions for your medicines and devices carefully, and always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Also, understand how the specific drugs you take may affect your body's response to heat by talking to your doctor. 🏥 Read more at: https://lnkd.in/ed5-kMRB. #Pills2Me #CareDelivered #MedicineSafety #HeatAware
