Barbecues, #beach vacations, and…#COVID-19? The new hallmark of #summer may be the annual surge in COVID-19 cases. Cases have been rising for several weeks and are likely higher than current reports suggest due to the significant scaling back of #disease surveillance since the public health #emergency was ended in May 2023. https://lnkd.in/emqiwZwk

**PERSONAL OPINIONS ONLY** 💊 Thank you again to the organizers of Total Pharmacy at Drug Topics for the opportunity to share more this weekend on what we're doing at Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, PBC. I promised to again share the link where #pharmacies may learn more about joining our #pharmacynetwork. The link is here: https://lnkd.in/gnruGTkH. Now is the best time to consider as we are increasing our dispensing fee soon. Feedback from my talk: I heard that one of the pharmacy association leaders said at a recent talk that the best thing for your #pharmacy career is to keep associations around so when you lose your job, you'll have somewhere to go to find a new one. Not exactly super inspiring. What's inspiring is embracing new models of delivering fair pricing, particularly for those who are not lucky to have any sort of pharmacy benefits, and do it now to make it automatic, so you can get back to practicing the way you want to practice with other innovative service models. Test to treat, providing vaccines, PGx, and expanding scope of practice are ways to drive the profession of #pharmacy forward and provide a more rich, satisfying career. We also need to provide new options for self funded employers so they can abandon big PBM practices from now on and help their members with transparent, affordable options and care closer to home. I still think #pharmacists have a tremendous opportunity here to help as well: https://lnkd.in/gfxdmwSJ. Last and most important - we offer all the drugs on the TCC drug list at our Cost Plus Marketplace, so your pharmacies may purchase at our actual reimbursement costs. Your pharmacy should not go underwater on ingredient costs on our program. Please consider joining our network as just one way to start tearing down the current matrix that is frankly destroying the profession of pharmacy. There are other solutions and ways, but we have to start somewhere. We can't wait for someone else to save us either - we're going to have to save ourselves. Let's go!!!!! www.teamcubancard.com

While chronic #skin disorders can be difficult for children to manage, the stigmatization of their #diseases can trigger poor mental #health and quality of life (QOL) outcomes. Researchers found a significant number of cases where #mental health and #QOL was exacerbated in children with skin disorders because of #bullying and other negative sentiments toward the visibility of their #ailments, according to a study published in JAMA Dermatology. https://lnkd.in/efFu27En
Stigmatization Plays Key Role in the Mental Health of Children with Skin Disease
