Project IMPACT: Diabetes

About the Experts

About the Experts

Project IMPACT: Diabetes was implemented by a team of dedicated individuals who believe in the role of the pharmacist in improving diabetes care.

  • Two APhA Foundation staff members provided oversight for the design and implementation of the project, created resources for communities, and monitored and analyzed data collected from the communities
  • Three pharmacist consultants served as implementation liaisons between the Foundation and the communities. Each of these Community Coordinators helped 8-9 communities successfully implement the Foundation’s care model.
  • Over 25 Community Champions were responsible for the local implementation and success of each community. These on-the-ground project leaders interfaced with the APhA Foundation, managed the local stakeholders and data, and served as the spokespeople for the community.
