JUNE 2013 MEN'S HEALTH MONTH - POSITION PAPER ON BOYS AND MENS HEALTH
| |
 | | Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni |
"A Framework for Advancing the Overall Health and Wellness of
America's Boys and Men.": A Position Paper Issued by the Men's Health Braintrust, Dialogue on Men's Health
"Over 21 million men aged 18 to 64 lack health insurance, and even among those who have insurance, boys and men do not engage in health care and wellness services as early or consistently as they need to," said Dr. Salvatore Giorgianni, "This lack of engagement has had a dramatic sociological impact on the overall health of Americans. The lack of initiatives and public policies to address the needs of boys and men costs our system of care an estimated $148.7 billion annually, and impacts businesses, communities and families."
For a copy of this informative Paper please send request to info@pharmacistpartners.com. Author: Dr. Salvatore J. Giorgianni, Jr., PharmD, Chair, Men's Health Caucus Constituency of the American Public Health Association and Science Advisor, Men's Health Network, Advisor to Pharmacist PartnersŪ, and lead author of the paper.

"Peer-to-Peer" Points of Interest

Thoughts from Our Industry ProfessionalsHarold Cohen, R.Ph., SVP, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief , U.S. Pharmacist & Advisor to Pharmacist PartnersŪ
"While I could write tomes about the negative side of our current health care system, I prefer to focus my attention on how to save American taxpayers the burden of paying for such excessive fraud, waste, and abuse. This would involve utilizing pharmacists in a more serious consultative role to make sure patients are taking their medications properly and on schedule, thus saving the health care system millions of dollars in unnecessary doctor and ER visits and hospital stays. Pharmacists are ready and willing to take on this new role. It probably won't eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse, but it will go a long way toward fixing what is wrong with health care in America today."
Mr. Cohen is a registered pharmacist who completed his pharmacy and undergraduate studies at Rutgers University. During his 40-year professional career, Mr. Cohen has served on several national and international association committees and boards, twice holding the position of Chairman of the National Council of Prescription Drug Programs. As Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of U.S. Pharmacist, Mr. Cohen is responsible for the editorial and business direction of this clinically focused, peer-reviewed publication with a circulation of 138,000 pharmacists.
