CMH Pharmacy
The role of the hospital pharmacy is important in providing patients with high-quality care. CMH’s inpatient pharmacy consists of a pharmacist and two technicians, and they play a crucial role on the medical team by managing the distribution of medications throughout the hospital. Our providers and pharmacist work together to select medications for patients on an individual basis. The pharmacist also provides education to team members about processes and answers questions on anything medication-related. The pharmacy technicians help manage the pharmacy inventory and assist with many other tasks.
