Emily Hein, PharmD, BCACP

I am an ambulatory care pharmacist practitioner with interests in diabetes, smoking cessation, preventive care and patient education.

Best part of my work: I love building relationships and helping people achieve their health care goals.

Practice philosophy: I work with your providers, educate about medications and conditions, and adjust medications to maximize their effect. I will take action to correct drug therapy problems and follow up to ensure a resolution. I combine clinical evidence and personal preference with the goal of empowering people to make informed decisions about their medications and about their health.

If I wasn’t a provider, I would be a: movie critic – I love seeing new films and discussing them with my husband.

Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? In college, I knew I wanted to help people, but I also enjoyed science and chemistry classes.  Becoming an ambulatory care pharmacist seemed like the perfect fit, since I can help people better understand their medications.  I decided to pursue pharmacy as my career in 2009.

Something I have learned from my patients is: I have learned to ask questions and listen deeply, especially if someone isn’t taking a medication.  There is often a good reason for it, like cost concerns or side effects.

My personal health goal is: to live a well-balanced life in all aspects of health – not only physically, but also mentally, socially, financially, and spiritually.

What are you most proud of? Raising my beautiful daughter who was born in 2018.

What patients are saying about Emily Hein:

"Emily is Amazing! Before she contacted me & we went over all my medications, I was at such a loss, getting frustrated not knowing all the side effects of each med.  She has helped so much! Thank you team!"

"Every time I talked with Emily Hein, it always made me feel at ease taking my meds. She is very caring & comforting person. Very much concerned about my health. She is excellent."
