This week we celebrate our employees in Pharmacy! I’d like to recognize the vital roles of pharmacists as members of our multidisciplinary patient care teams. They provide our patients with all their medications with an incredible degree of precision. And they do so much more! They round with the interdisciplinary teams on the units, help lead our Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, and are exceptional educators and champions for patient and medication safety. We are also grateful for all of our incredible pharmacy technicians for their invaluable support and contributions throughout the year. Together our pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are an absolutely vital component of our care delivery system.
The pharmacy has many initiatives to help ease the transition from inpatient to outpatient care. For instance, our “Transitions of Care” pharmacists consult patients who have COPD and heart failure on their medications in between doctor visits or before and after they are discharged.

We are fortunate to have pharmacists that are integrated into patient care throughout our Downtown network.
- We have clinical pharmacists collaboratively working with other practitioners to manage patients’ medication therapies in our GMA, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Cardiology, Pulmonary, and GI outpatient practices.
- Our Pharmacy teams at The Blavatnik Family – Chelsea Medical Center at Mount Sinai and Mount Sinai-Union Square provide excellent and safe care with compassion. Their greatest asset is their teamwork and ability to provide care within so many different specialties offered at these locations.
- Our Pharmacy team at NYEE always promotes safe and effective medication use.
Thanks to our wonderful pharmacists and pharmacy technicians for taking such great care of our patients and giving us the knowledge to do the same.
This week we also celebrated Infection Prevention Week and Spiritual Care Week. Visit our Instagram page to celebrate these wonderful team members as well!
