LIVE at RBC - Interview with Rep. Buddy Carter and Doug Hoey | Cardinal Health™ Counter Talk Podcast™

The COVID-19 pandemic validated how essential pharmacists are in providing patients care, services and vaccines. In this podcast — held at Cardinal Health’s annual Retail Business Conference (RBC) in Boston — Congressman Buddy Carter and Doug Hoey, CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), address how they’re advocating to elevate the inherent value pharmacies bring to the healthcare industry. They also address the importance of accessibility, affordability and quality in healthcare.Listen in as Congressman Carter and Hoey talk about the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act (H.R. 1770, S. 2477), a provider status bill that—if passed—would enable Medicare patients to receive timely and consistent treatment from pharmacists for pandemic-related health services, and would provide a federal reimbursement to pharmacies under Medicare Part B for treatment and services rendered.They also address the current and future state of pharmacy not only through a legislative lens but also how this industry can be positively impacted by advocacy and grassroots efforts. About Congressman Buddy Carter:U.S. Representative Carter is serving his fifth term in the U.S. House of Representatives and is a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the House Budget Committee. He’s the former mayor of Pooler, GA, a former Georgia General Assembly member, a pharmacist and past owner of Carter’s Pharmacy, Inc. With more than 30 years of experience in pharmacy, he is dedicated to working on behalf of pharmacies to expand their role and interaction with patients. About Doug Hoey:Hoey is the CEO of the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), is a licensed pharmacist in Oklahoma, Virginia and Texas, and has practiced in various pharmacy settings. He is viewed as a pillar of advocacy as he’s spent the last 20+ years working in and representing community pharmacies.

Tips on Long-COVID Symptom Management From Provider-turned-patient w/ Salam Kabbani | The Holistic Pharmacy Podcast

Today I talk with a fellow pharmacist who became a patient going through our healthcare system, desperate for answers and having to advocate for herself from the other side of the treatment counter. We discuss what it takes to stay healthy in today’s post-COVID world when so much remains shrouded in mystery, and yet going back to the basics of self-care can still make a difference.Long-COVID symptoms are very real and affect a significant part of the population. As healthcare providers it behooves us to gain a general understanding of the disease so we can be there for our patients and provide them with symptom mitigation strategies.Salam Kabbani is an infectious diseases pharmacy specialist at Olathe Medical Center. She graduated with her doctor of pharmacy degree from California Health Sciences University in 2019 and then went on to complete a PGY1 pharmacy residency at Cleveland Clinic South Pointe hospital. Despite being fully vaccinated at the time, she had a breakthrough COVID infection with the delta variant in August of 2021 which was then followed by a long-COVID journey. Becoming disabled changed her life in so many ways both good and bad, and she decided to write a memoir detailing her long-COVID journey to raise awareness about the condition, and most importantly to let other long-haulers know that they are not alone and they matter. She is now proudly a patient advocate and believes in spreading empathy through honest and open communication. Her book “COVID Long-Hauler: My Life Since COVID” is available in print, ePub, and audiobook and can be found on Amazon.Connect with Salam via:www.authorsalam.com  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/salamkabbaniInstagram: @longhaulerchronicles / @theunabridgedlifeofsalamacita
