  "While additional research is needed, we know that our healthcare system isn’t optimally addressing mental health. Screening for depression and anxiety among hospitalized
medical patients and including treatment for these conditions in the care plan may reduce preventable readmissions and improve patients’ ability to effectively manage their chronic
conditions.”
- Dr. Karen L. Pellegrin, PhD, MBA, Director of Continuing Education & Strategic Planning; Founding Director, Center for Rural Health Science; University of Hawai'i at Hilo, Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy.
