Neil worked as a pharmacist at CVS Health until 2010, when he returned to his home state of Maine to join the MVH Pharmacies team. At MVH Pharmacies, Neil takes on a variety of roles that integrate nursing and pharmaceutical care. Specifically, Neil coordinates MVH Pharmacies’ NavigatoRx© program, which aids in reducing skilled hospital readmissions during transitions of care.
