PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Your local pharmacist can be a big help in your health care.

Most people in health care realize that the best way to help people is to take a team approach. They may debate who is the captain of this health care team, but the bottom line is that every member brings different experiences and varied perspectives to care.

A critical member of the health care team in the hospital, as well as in the community, is the pharmacist.

Decades ago, the neighborhood pharmacist was a resource for valuable health information; the tradition continues today. If you have questions or concerns about the medications you take, talk with your pharmacist.
