October is American Pharmacists Month and PQS Senior Manager of Pharmacy Accounts, Nick Dorich, PharmD interviews APhA President Michael D. Hogue about the significance of American Pharmacists Month and the value of today's pharmacist.#APhM2020 Hogue also discusses the importance of pharmacists joining a professional pharmacy organization at a state level and joining the American Pharmacists Association at a national level. 

In this introducation, I talk about health advocacy through the format of interviewing health experts in different fields. You will be challenged to consider your own healthcare situation. I share some of my story and how it led me to become a patient advocate. I also announce my guest for the next podcast, Marisa Pasquini, who trains caregivers of people with dementia and has founded the National Home Care Academy. 

In episode 70 of America Adapts, Doug Parsons celebrates two years of America Adapts by talking with Dr. Natasha DeJarnett, a policy analyst in the American Public Health Association’s (APHA) Center for Public Health Policy.  Natasha leads the Natural Environment portfolio focusing on water, air and climate change.  Doug and Natasha cover such topics as the role of APHA in addressing climate impacts on public health; environmental justice and equity; the roles of nurses, doctors and clinics in climate building awareness, and much more!

Topics covered:

• What is APHA’s role and responsibilities in climate change;
• APHA has identified “Climate change as the greatest public health threat”;
• Elevating the urgency around climate change through its public health impacts, e.g., less from the Ebola outbreak;
• Environmental justice and equity and public health;
• Learning from the Tobacco wars and applying to climate change awareness;
• Health providers are first line of climate communication with the public;
• What the Centers for Disease Control is and isn’t doing on climate change;
