Logan “Tate” Owens, PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist at Tandem Health, was recently published in the September 2025 issue of the Journal of Primary Care and Community Health. The article, titled ‘Impact of Direct Clinical Pharmacist Intervention on Achievement of Blood Pressure Control at a Federally Qualified Health Center Within a Medically Underserved Area’ shows that direct clinical pharmacist involvement significantly improves blood pressure control, medication adherence, and reduces hospitalizations at a rural Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Patients managed by pharmacists reached target blood pressure faster, had better adherence to medication, and experienced no hospitalizations — highlighting the impact of pharmacist-led care in underserved communities.
