October is National “Talk About Your Medicines” Month, as promoted by the National Council on Patient Information and Education. As part of this national effort to “talk about your medicines,” Cass County Memorial Hospital pharmacists, Crystal Starlin and Sara Arnold will be presenting at the October 22nd session of Healthy U.

Starlin says “Medications are a powerful healthcare tool. It is important that patients talk about medications with their healthcare team to ensure they are using them safely and effectively.”

The session will be held at Noon on Thursday, October 22nd, in CCMH Conference Room 2. Healthy U is a free educational series offered by Cass County Health System that focuses on a different health topic each month. Attendees receive a healthy sack lunch in addition to an educational program presented by medical professionals. Future topics will include nutrition and diabetes, mental illness, and joint health.
