Black patients experience disparities in the treatment of both hypertension and mental health disorders, highlighting the need for innovative care models. This paper describes the integration of a psychiatric pharmacist into a primary care clinic to provide comprehensive medication management for hypertension, psychiatric disorders, and tobacco use disorder in black patients. The integration of this model faced challenges, including limited pharmacist funding and provider unfamiliarity with the psychiatric pharmacist\u2019s role. We describe how these barriers can be mitigated through relationship-building and demonstrating the pharmacist\u2019s value in patient care. This model highlights the potential for psychiatric pharmacists to provide whole-person care, addressing both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric conditions and working to reduce health disparities. The implementation of psychiatric pharmacists in primary care settings may serve as a strategy to improve equitable health care access and outcomes for black patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.9740\/mhc.2025.08.222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,1]],"date-time":"2025-08-01T00:30:53Z","timestamp":1754008253000},"page":"222-6","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A primary care psychiatric pharmacist clinic for addressing hypertension and mental health disparities in black patients"],"prefix":"10.9740","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7377-9842","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Stephanie L.","family":"Hsia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"(Corresponding author) Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy, University of Southern California Alfred E.
