“What we don’t want to see happen is patients going into the ER / UPCC for prescription renewals. It makes no sense for individuals to have to sit hours in a waiting for a prescription. Pharmacists have the knowledge and the training to provide these clinical services and deliver them well.” -Dr. Bonnie Henry
