“…In 2009, after a nearly 5‐year lapse in progress, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act included pharmacists and pharmacies as health care providers . However, the Act was unsuccessful in achieving acceptance of pharmacists as providers among their health care professional peers and community as this expanded level of participation in provision of care was not widely considered part of a pharmacist's scope of practice at that time.…”

The pharmacy profession has advanced remarkably, however, pharmacists have yet to obtain provider status at the federal level. Establishing pharmacists as providers is imperative in light of the growing shortage of primary care providers and need to provide care for medically underserved populations. Academic reform, professional development and legislation have all contributed to the furtherment of provider status. Yet, the cornerstone to obtaining this status lies in imminent changes at the health care and interprofessional collegial levels in conjunction with professional perseverance and legislative action. These actions will help ensure pharmacists as integral partners on collaborative health care teams in clinical service provision for managing patients' chronic conditions and medications, to ultimately, improve access to quality care and patient health outcomes.

The evolution of pharmacy practice in the last 15 years has created expanded public health access. Community pharmacies now provide a range of public health services with promising improvements in health access and outcomes. The observed practice changes call our attention to systemic issues that remain in need of collective attention. As we strengthen our intersectoral public health system, we must focus on the pharmacy-public health partnership and establish collaborative policy and research agendas to guide this system change for maximum public health impact. Our collective effort to assure the health of communities depends upon our seeing opportunities across systems and sectors, and upon our success in shifting the policy environment to allow health system flexibility.
