FROM THE FOUNDER
A Message from
Dr. Christie C. Smith
For more than 30 years, I have dedicated my career to helping healthcare professionals, organizations, and communities recognize the extraordinary value pharmacists bring to patient care. Throughout my journey, I have witnessed firsthand how pharmacists can improve clinical outcomes, expand access to care, optimize healthcare resources, and serve as trusted members of interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
I founded The Pharmacist Care Team with a simple but powerful vision: to elevate the role of pharmacists beyond traditional dispensing and demonstrate the impact we can have as consultants, educators, strategists, and healthcare leaders.
Our mission is to partner with physician practices, healthcare organizations, industry leaders, and communities to develop innovative solutions that improve patient outcomes while strengthening the business of healthcare.
Whether through consulting, executive advisory services, professional speaking, or educational initiatives, my commitment remains the same: helping organizations unlock the full potential of pharmacist-led care while advancing collaboration across the healthcare continuum.
Thank you for visiting. I look forward to the opportunity to work together to shape a healthier future through innovation, education, and partnership.
