Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a multitude of unprecedented challenges to the healthcare system and broader public policy arena. Comprehensive guidelines and recommendations have been slow to develop as each community and medical institution face unique challenges due to a dissimilarity in demographics and resources. We seek to describe the experience at our institution to highlight challenges that others may encounter with an emphasis on the value that specialized pharmacists can provide at various levels of the healthcare system.
