Photo by Tim Mossholder The new year gives everybody a moment to pause, reset, and think about what you want your life to look like moving forward. Whether that focus is on your mental health, chronic condition management, or a simple healthy habit you’ve been trying to develop, setting the right goals makes the difference. Planning your goals out in advance is essential, giving you the ability to create a long-term direction that sticks. Consistency is especially important when it comes to health improvement, and that’s why many people are adopting SMART goals as their new year strategy. SMART goals aim to create a specific plan that is measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. These core concepts make it much easier to turn your intentions into change that lasts! (Throughout this post, you’ll see Pharmacist Insights. These are expert perspectives that provide practical advice and deeper understanding from Tria Health’s team.) Breaking Down SMART Goals S – Specific A goal should be clear and focused. Instead of “be more active,” try something like:“Walk for 20 minutes after dinner on weekdays.” M – Measurable You need a way to know whether you’re meeting the goal. You might track steps, hours of sleep, servings of vegetables, or days you take your medication on time. A – Achievable Your goal should fit your lifestyle. Small steps add up and leave you less overwhelmed. Aim for progress, not perfection. R – Relevant Choose goals that matter to you and support your personal health needs. For example, improving your blood pressure, managing diabetes, boosting your energy, or reducing daily stress. T – Time-Bound Give yourself a timeline to stay on track. Phrases like “Over the next 30 days…” or “By the end of March…” create a sense of commitment and help you check in on your progress. Pharmacist Insight: What common mistakes do you see patients make when setting health goals, and how can SMART goals help avoid them? They set big goals without thinking about the steps to achieve them. For instance, “I want to be at the gym 5 days a week for 1 hour”. That’s a great goal, but if you aren’t even going to the gym 1 day a week for 10 minutes, you likely won’t get there for 1 hour 5 days a week, so start SMART – what is realistic and how will you know you have met that goal – maybe you start with 2 days a week for 30 minutes for 1 month, then when you hit that goal you add another day of 30 minutes for another month and so on. Common mistakes patients make when setting health goals is taking on too much, too fast.   Why SMART Goals Work SMART goals give your health habits structure. Instead of vague plans like “eat better” or “exercise more,” they help you outline what you want to do, how often you’ll do it, and how you’ll know you’re improving. This structure boosts motivation. When you can track your progress, it’s easier to stay committed, and even easier to celebrate the wins along the way! As you think about what you want to improve this year, consider areas such as: Medication routines Nutrition Physical activity Stress management Sleep habits   Examples of Health-Related SMART Goals Here are some ideas to help you get started: Medication Routines “Take my morning medication by 8 a.m. every day for the next 30 days.” “Set a daily phone reminder to support consistency.” Physical Activity “Walk for 20 minutes after dinner at least 4 nights a week.” “Join a virtual workout class twice a week for the next month.” Nutrition Goals “Add one extra serving of vegetables to my lunch Monday–Friday.” “Replace sugary drinks with water at least 5 days a week.” Stress Reduction “Practice deep breathing for 5 minutes each morning before work for the next 3 weeks.” “Take a 10-minute stretch break during my afternoon slump.” Sleep Habits “Set a consistent bedtime of 10 p.m. on weeknights for the next 30 days.” “Turn off screens 30 minutes before bed starting tonight.” Pharmacist Insight: What’s one small health goal most people don’t think of, that would create the biggest positive change in their daily life? Just taking the first step. Often times when we set goals we make them too big too soon. It's ok to have big goals, but it’s the little steps forward that actually accomplish the big things. I always remind patients to pick 1 small thing like cutting replacing 1 soda a day with a glass of water, or adding vegetables to their dinner place, those small changes usually catapult the patient forward to make more changes that become easy habits. Small changes can have big results! Most people have individual and specific health goals. Understanding your current reality, including motivation to change and time availability, can set the stage for achievable goals.   How Tria Health Can Help At Tria Health, your pharmacists and health coaches are here to guide you. Whether you're managing medications, working toward healthier habits, or starting the Choose to Lose program, we provide support that’s personalized and easy to follow. Our team can help you set SMART goals that make sense for your health and stick with them. Available through select health plans, Tria Health provides one-on-one conversations, ongoing follow-up, and practical tools that will help you feel confident managing your health throughout the new year. Pharmacist Insight: Can SMART goals support better conversations between pharmacists and patients during follow-up visits, (if yes) how so? Yes, setting SMART goals can absolutely support better conversations between pharmacists and patients. Knowing the patient’s goals can allow the pharmacist to act as an accountability partner for the patient and brainstorm ideas on how to achieve goals in a way that is important to the patient. As you start the new year, choose one or two small, realistic goals to begin with. Remember, you don’t need to change everything at once. Over time, small steps lead to big improvements!   Resources https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/smart-goals/ https://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/s-spire/documents/How-to-write-SMART-Goals-v2.pdf

Photo by Polina Tankilevitch This December, it’s an important time to remember that flu season isn’t over, and you can still protect yourself. Some people think that they missed their opportunity to get vaccinated if they didn’t do it during early fall, however, experts recommend the flu shot throughout the entirety of the season. This is for good reason, as the disease can spread throughout the winter season, meaning it is never too late to vaccinate! (Throughout this post, you’ll see Pharmacist Insights. These are expert perspectives that provide practical advice and deeper understanding from Tria Health’s team.)   Flu Season Peaks Later Than People Think Flu viruses are detectable year-round in the U.S., but flu activity typically peaks during fall and winter (CDC 2025). In fact, data from the CDC shows that over the past 40 years, the highest level of flu activity most often occurred in February, followed by December, January and March (CDC 2025). That means getting vaccinated now remains essential. Not only will a vaccination help reduce your risk of illness, but it will also help prevent hospitalization and the risk of spreading the virus to others. Though getting vaccinated early is always a plus, it remains important even if you didn’t get the shot earlier. Pharmacist Insight: How do you explain to patients why it’s still beneficial to get vaccinated in December or January? Maggie: Flu season starts as early as October but continues into spring. Getting a flu shot later in the season is still beneficial because it protects you during the later months and helps shield those around you who may be more likely to get severely sick from the flu.   Protect Yourself and the People Around You Getting vaccinated doesn’t just protect you, it helps protect your community. Influenza can be particularly dangerous for high-risk groups. This includes older adults, pregnant people, young children, and especially individuals with chronic health conditions. With the holiday gatherings, winter travel, and return to normal routines, vaccination becomes a critical step in helping prevent flu spread in shared spaces and protect those around you.   How Pharmacists Make Late Season Vaccination Easier Pharmacists are an accessible and trusted resource, especially when you’re choosing to get vaccinated later in the season. Many pharmacies offer: Walk-in or same-day appointments Short wait times and convenient locations Trusted guidance from medication experts - Pharmacists can also help answer questions about flu symptoms, antiviral treatments, and how flu may impact your chronic conditions. For help finding an eligible pharmacy near you, look here: https://pharmacyfinder.rxlocal.com/pharmacyFinder/ Pharmacist Insight: What advice do you give patients who are unsure whether their symptoms are flu-related? Maggie: There are a few ways to determine if what you are feeling is likely the flu. Look at how fast it starts and how bad it feels – the flu will start more quickly and severely like “getting hit by a truck” with fatigue, fever (temperature > 100 degrees), and body aches   Staying Healthy Through Winter: More Than Just a Shot While getting your flu shot is one of the best protections, there are other valuable habits for staying well this winter: Wash your hands regularly Stay home if you’re feeling unwell Cover coughs and sneezes Maintain and manage your chronic conditions and the medications for them Pharmacists can support these efforts, guiding you through medication management, helping with medication side-effects, and supporting your overall wellness throughout flu season and beyond. Pharmacist Insight: What additional steps do you recommend to help people stay healthy through the rest of winter? Maggie: Always wash your hands! This drastically reduces the spread of germs Cover your cough or sneeze by directing it into your elbow Disinfect regularly used surfaces like kitchen and bathroom counters, doorknobs, and handrails   Stay Protected: How Tria Health Can Help Tria Health is a no-cost benefit through select health plans and gives you access to one-on-one meetings with a pharmacist, all from home. During these virtual sessions, our pharmacists can help you: Understand how flu season may affect your current medications or chronic conditions.

And remember, it’s never too late to protect yourself!   Resources – https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/season.html https://pharmacyfinder.rxlocal.com/pharmacyFinder/

Photo by Ellie Burgin If you live in an area where you struggle to find a pharmacy, you’re not alone. A pharmacy desert is a community lacking a pharmacy resource, and unfortunately, it’s a growing trend. A recent national study found that about 15.8 million people live in areas classified as pharmacy deserts, which can be detrimental for anyone, but especially those managing chronic conditions (Murphy and Rodis 2025). That’s why we are here to provide you with important information regarding pharmacy deserts, as well as where to find the resources, you need.   Why Pharmacy Access Matters for Your Health Pharmacies and pharmacists do more than just hand out medications. They are part of your care team, helping you with how and when to take your medicines, spotting side-effects, and answering questions. When patients don’t have easy access to a pharmacy, they may delay or skip getting their medications. Research shows this can lead to worse health outcomes (Murphy and Rodis 2025). For people living in pharmacy deserts, the lack of access means extra effort which can add up. (Throughout this post, you’ll see Pharmacist Insights. These are expert perspectives that provide practical advice and deeper understanding from Tria Health’s team.) Pharmacist Insight: From your perspective, what are some of the biggest challenges patients face when they don’t have a nearby pharmacy?  Kristen: One of the biggest challenges they face is simply getting their medications in a timely manner. Without the convenience of a local pharmacy, patients often have to rely on mail-order pharmacy services which can lead to delays, shipping issues, and lost packages. Interruptions like this can mean that patients miss their medications, and in some cases even one or two days without their medication can result in serious health consequences.     Why Are Pharmacies Getting Harder to Reach? You might be wondering why these pharmacies are becoming more difficult to reach, several forces are at work: Many pharmacy locations closed between 2010 and 2021, over 29% of pharmacies across the country shut down in that time, making access harder in underserved communities. (Murphy and Rodis 2025) Some regions face high costs to run a pharmacy, low reimbursement rates for medications, and fewer pharmacists choosing to work in remote or low-income areas. (Murphy and Rodis 2025) Transportation and mobility barriers matter: if you don’t have a car, live in a remote area, or have limited public transit, access becomes even tougher. Pharmacist Insight: Why do you think pharmacy deserts are becoming more common, and how is that affecting patients’ daily lives?  Kristen: Pharmacy deserts are sadly becoming more common largely due to below cost reimbursements and unethical business practices of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). This has forced many independent pharmacies to close in recent years, leaving entire communities without a nearby pharmacy. Patients in these communities are left with the choice to have medications delivered via mail-order, risking them not arriving on time or into a hot mailbox in the middle of summer, or driving long distances to pick up medications at the nearest pharmacy, which often will end up having long wait times due to the extra prescription volume they have had to pick up from other pharmacies closing in the area.     How to Manage Your Health When a Pharmacy Isn’t Nearby If you live in a pharmacy desert, here are practical steps you can take to stay on track with your health: Ask whether you can use mail-order pharmacy services and have your medications delivered to your home. Talk with your healthcare provider or pharmacist about getting 90-day supplies instead of 30-day supplies. Fewer trips means less strain. Use smartphone apps or reminders to help you track when refills are due. Reach out to the pharmacy (or your insurer) to ask about delivery options, many chains now deliver outside of traditional service ranges. Explore virtual pharmacist consultations: even if the pharmacy is far, you can still speak to a pharmacist online or by phone for guidance. These steps can reduce the burden of travel and make managing medications more realistic.   Virtual Pharmacist Support: How Tria Can Help Just because you can’t walk into a nearby pharmacy doesn’t mean you’re cut off from pharmacist support. Tria Health is a benefit available for no cost through select health insurance providers, and gives you access to one-on-one meetings with a pharmacist. These virtual sessions will help you: Clarify what each medication is for, how to take it, and when side-effects might appear. Review all of your medications together (especially if you take several at once) and make sure they work well together. Find options that may cost less or simplify your routine. Living in a pharmacy desert can feel like a barrier, but try to remember there are plenty of alternatives that offer support. You deserve personalized care, and while access looks different than it used to, your path to good health remains strong!   Resources https://pharmacy.osu.edu/news/growing-crisis-pharmacy-deserts https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11034534/
