The Asheville Project - Pharmacy and Disease Management

The Asheville Project was established in 1997 under the leadership of the North Carolina Center for Pharmacy Care and the Mission St. Joseph's Health System. The City of Asheville became the first employer to support the program. In 1997, 24 pharmacists began training to provide diabetes disease management services in their retail pharmacies. It has since expanded to the management of asthma for several hundred individuals. It is a model for complementing disease management through retail pharmacy.
