“Being named a fellow is an incredible honor, and I am deeply appreciative of the board of TSHP for recognizing my work and passion for the profession in this way,” said Dr. Greene. “None of us enter the healthcare profession looking for accolades.

He also served on the editorial board of the society’s journal from 2006-2008.

At Care N’ Care, Dr. Greene works to optimize the pharmacy benefits for all of the health plan’s members. His responsibilities include not only ensuring a compliant Medicare Part D pharmacy program but developing and managing innovative clinical programs that ensure safe and appropriate medication use. In his role Dr. Greene is a frequent participant in Care N’ Care’s unique “Ask the Pharmacist” program where he meets with seniors at various locations around the community to offer a short presentation on current topics and then answers medication-related questions so seniors feel better informed and more confident about the prescriptions they are taking.
