New va pilot pharmacy program provides consultations to women veterans centered around women's health treatments | va lexington health care | veterans affairs

Nashville , TN — The Department of Veterans Affairs’ MidSouth Health Care Network's Clinical Resource Hub (CRH) announced a pilot. A virtual consultation program through Sept. 2024 that

delivers specialized pharmacy care as part of VA’s continued efforts to improve access to health services for women Veterans. The program will virtually connect a women’s health clinical

pharmacist practitioner to both providers and Veterans at VA facilities needing support addressing issues around women’s health treatments. “Women make up 30% of all new patients at VA

facilities, and this pilot program promises to deliver highly-specialized care,” said Dr. Michelle Moseley, Clinical Resource Hub Pharmacy Section Chief. “Women Veterans are VA’s fastest

growing demographic, and through programs like this, VA is working to ensure our health care providers are equipped to provide timely, accessible, and high-quality care for Women Veterans –

no matter where they live.”   The CRH’s clinical pharmacist practitioner will be able to prescribe medications and work with providers to address issues around medication selection, dosage

and monitoring specific to women, including oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapies, infertility treatments, osteoporosis, medications used during and after pregnancy and

lactation, and menopausal care.   Learn more about how CRH provides specialty care services for Veterans when facilities experience challenges that affect access to care at VA. Contact VISN
