MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, USA, November 3, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CPESN USA announces a new collaboration with their network in Minnesota and UCare, a leading independent, nonprofit health plan. Through this program, CPESN^® Minnesota pharmacies will support prescribed use of medications for identified members enrolled in one of UCare’s Medicare plans. Participating CPESN pharmacies will provide direct support and education to promote medication adherence for hypertension, cholesterol, and diabetes medication, and will address gaps in statin therapy for cardiovascular health.

“We are excited about the new collaboration with UCare,” said Lindsay Christensen, Pharm.D., Executive Director of CPESN^® Minnesota. “Our pharmacies have consistently outperformed other pharmacies in delivering enhanced patient care services. Here in Minnesota, we are excited about the opportunity to prove this fact while collaborating with UCare to help our mutual patients become more adherent to their medications as prescribed by their doctors.”

CPESN USA is a clinically integrated, nationwide organization of over 8,500 pharmacists working in over 3,500 local, community-based pharmacies. CPESN pharmacies reach 84% of Americans and over 93% of Minnesotans, through hand delivery of medications to the doorstep of patients’ homes.

UCare is an independent health plan providing Medicaid, Medicare and Individual & Family plans to more than 600,000 members in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

“As a community-based health plan, we are excited about collaborating with CPESN Minnesota to have a positive impact on the long-term health of our members through community pharmacies,” said Patrick Mitsch, Vice President of Pharmacy. “ Community pharmacists have more touchpoints and interact with members more frequently than many other health care providers. By collaborating with UCare, CPESN pharmacists will have more visibility to see who may need extra support. We believe our joint efforts will be extremely meaningful as we strive to improve the health of our members.”
