Mississippi Alliance for Cardiovascular Health Request for Application (RFA) Enhancing Community and Clinical Partnerships for Improved Blood Pressure Control (Community Pharmacies)

The Mississippi State Department of Health is seeking applications from community pharmacies to participate in the Mississippi Alliance for Cardiovascular Health Community Pharmacy Medication Therapy Management Program. The program aims to increase the use of medication therapy management services to support the management of hypertension, high cholesterol, and lifestyle modification. Up to 10 community pharmacies will be selected to receive $10,000 annually for three years to implement the program in one of the 26 priority counties. Key responsibilities include providing comprehensive medication management, conducting in-depth reviews of patient medication regimens, and coordinating with healthcare providers. • The program will focus on serving patients with or at risk of cardiovascular disease in counties with limited access to healthcare and social services. • Selected pharmacies will be required to maintain accurate records of MTM services provided and submit periodic reports to the Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program. • The program will also provide training and technical assistance to participating pharmacies. • Applicants must be licensed community pharmacies in good standing with the Mississippi Board of Pharmacy and have experience providing MTM services to the target patient population.
