Meet our dedicated team of Pharmacists

Discover how our expert pharmacists at Impact Community Health & Wellness Coalition are bridging the gap between medication knowledge and holistic wellness through the Gateway Trichology Initiative.

Connecting hair health and overall wellness

Our pharmacists play an important role in helping individuals understand how medications, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic health conditions can influence hair and scalp health. Through our Gateway Trichology Initiative, they work alongside our healthcare team to educate community members about the connection between hair health and overall wellness by reviewing medication-related hair changes, discussing potential side effects, reinforcing medication adherence, and providing guidance on nutrition and preventive care. By using hair and scalp concerns as a gateway to broader health conversations, our pharmacists help empower individuals to make informed healthcare decisions and connect them with the appropriate medical providers and community resources when additional evaluation or treatment is needed.
