About me
Tisha Smith loves being a pharmacist and fiercely advocates for the underdog. As a Mexican American, her interest in pharmacy is both personal and professional. Tisha became a pharmacist to care for patients but not just by providing medications but working with and engaging the patients to make their health a priority, especially in our most vulnerable patient populations who may also be experiencing health inequities. Tisha received her Doctor of Pharmacy from the University of Colorado, School of Pharmacy in May of 2000. Since that time, she has worked in many areas of pharmacy including, retail, specialty, and inpatient before finding her passion in ambulatory clinical pharmacy. As the Assistant Director of Ambulatory Clinical Pharmacy at Denver Health Medical Center, she is privileged to work with an underserved population while overseeing the ambulatory clinical pharmacy teams, establishing strategic direction, and identifying areas of expansion. Tisha is an active member of Denver Health’s DEI council, the co-chair for the Anticoagulation QI workgroup and has held leadership positions within our professional state organization, Colorado Pharmacists Society (CPS), as Treasurer, President-Elect, President, and Past President. While serving as CPS President, she advocated and testified on a bill to allow for reimbursement of clinical pharmacy services. With the approval of this bill, Tisha has successfully implemented billing for clinical pharmacy services at Denver Health. In her free time, Tisha enjoys sending time with her family and friends, skiing, soccer, and tennis.
