Helen Feinstein, Pharm.D., the ALMH
in-patient pharmacy director, will attend this meeting to answer
medication interaction questions. Group members may bring in their
current medications and vitamins for review. Health system
pharmacists such as Dr. Feinstein are medication-use experts who
ensure that patients receive the right dose of the right medication,
counsel patients on the correct way to use their medications and
make sure that patients respond well to their medications.
The group has identified other
topics of interest, and speakers will be scheduled for many of the
future meetings as well. The group plans to continue meeting on the
second Wednesday of each month at noon. Please call ALMH at (217)
732-2161, ext. 405, with questions.
