The Concierge Pharmacist Show

Ken Sternfeld, RPh, Concierge Pharmacist is the co-host of the new “PGx for Pharmacists” segment of the Pharmacy Podcast Network focusing on how Pharmacists, PharmDs and Students of Pharmacy can incorporate Pharmacogenetic (PGx) Testing into Care Coordination and Chronic Care Management Medication Services.

Ken is a national spokesperson for Caregiver Support Services (CSS) a “grassroot” non-profit organization with a 501 (c )(3) tax exempt status to help raise awareness to the fact that over 125,000 patients died as a result of experiencing an Adverse Drug Reaction to their medications. The organization was founded by Terrence and Eboni Green, a husband and wife team in the medical profession, to support family & professional caregivers across the lifespan through direct supportive services. www.caregiversupportservices.com

Ken helps educate professionals in our industry, by conducting Pharmacists As Caregivers – Sunday Conversations, nationally, to help promote setting up benchmark programs and services for family and professional caregivers. Pharmacists are caregivers, so we can give back to our profession by offering accessible training, self-advocacy and other pertinent concierge pharmacy services, right in the communities we live and work in. Caregivers and their loved ones will be able to get their Pharmacogenetic (PGx) test done at their own physician, by utilizing an innovative patient-centric letter that has been developed, along with a blank prescription form, that they can take to their doctor and get tested. This will help to support caregivers through the process of lowering the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions, as it relates to medication management for their loved ones.
