SPN and Local Network Collaboration: CPESN® Health Equity, CPESN® Wyoming

Affiliating with Special Purpose Program CPESN® Health Equity helped CPESN® Wyoming secure CDC 1815 grant funding to integrate Community Health Workers to their practices and address social determinants of health needs for their patients.

Leveraging Grants to Build Clincial Services

CPESN® New York Vice President Chris Daly shares his network's success being awarded a CDC 815 grant through the New York Department of Health to provide DSME services. All three CPESN NY networks are involved – Upstate NY, NYC, and Western New York, with 30 to 50 pharmacies participating at any time.
10 pharmacies are now accredited to hold their own diabetes classes and refer patients into those classes.
