Rx Consultations to Help Inform Our Clients

In response to requests from the community and and with the goal of providing specialized and relevant information to the communities we serve, CRIS has created a partnership with Sue Rudibaugh, a Pharmacy Consultant with Med Reviews for You, LLC.

CRIS arranged two sessions in February for members of the Nepali community to meet with Sue to understand what medications they are taking and how to take them correctly, to gain information about potential side effects, and to learn strategies for organizing and remembering to take medications.

Sue also provided important information about how to prepare for healthcare appointments and how patients can advocate for themselves when they visit healthcare practitioners. The goal of these sessions was to improve understanding and compliance with medications and encourage participants to be active advocates for their healthcare needs, increasing confidence in healthcare settings and leading to better health outcomes. Participants found these sessions very useful and we are planning additional sessions in the coming months to meet the high levels of need and interest in this area.
