In America, healthcare is a touchy subject. In the 1900s, it was cringe! Deception and false promises weren't the only things the Tuskegee community were getting from their local clinic. Join the ladies as they talk about a shameful subject in America's history.

Dr. Theresa “Terry” Cullen is on a mission to make Pima County, Arizona one of the healthiest counties in the nation. It's a challenging goal, and one that will take dedication and a willingness to fight for what's right. But, Terry is a self-described, life-long pugilist – with an approach to healthcare that goes beyond policies and programs. Everything she does is rooted in her deep belief in accompaniment; that her role is to walk alongside her patients and community offering empathy, dignity and respect. We discuss:Her work as a rural doctor with the Indian Health Service Deploying to West Africa in 2014 for the Ebola crisisWhy the VA and DOD could not agree on electronic health recordsHer commitment to make Pima county one of the healthiest in the nationTerry reminds us that sometimes we need to step back and look at the work we do through a new lens:“My husband's an artist, and he challenges me all the time to look at something and look at the light. Look at the composition. Look at where it is. What's the pattern there? You know, and a lot of medicine is based on pattern, but think of a disruptive pattern. Think of a puzzle where the piece doesn't fit and what do you need to do to make that piece fit? Because if it falls into place, maybe the whole thing will heal.”Relevant LinksDefinition of pugilistResolve to save lives - 717 allianceHealthy Pima Indicators About Our GuestTheresa Cullen is currently the Public Health Director of Pima County, Arizona.

What if we told you that there was a healthcare system of over 400 locations that manages more than 325 million people each year and offers resources that are proven to positively impact every dimension of your health and well-being, with an annual cost (for unlimited visits) of less than $100...if not completely free?Sound too good to be true?The National Park Service, responsible for maintaining national parks and monuments, was established in 1916. In just over one hundred years, it has expanded to manage 429 individual units (often called parks), covering more than 85 million acres across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all US territories. While these parks are primarily known for recreation and beautiful scenery, an underlying message of health and well-being has historically been part of the NPS mission. A formal agreement between NPS and the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps was signed in 1921 and is considered one of the oldest agreements in the federal government. For more than a century, this partnership has protected, promoted, and advanced the health of NPS employees and the visiting public. Welcome to Episode Thirty-Eight of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.  On this episode, we sat down with Dr. Sara Newman, an active duty Commissioned Corps Captain in the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) who has served for more than 30 years in public health positions with the private and public sectors. Captain Newman is the Director of the Office of Public Health at the National Park Service, leading public health protection, disease prevention, emergency response, and health promotion policy and programming for thousands of NPS employees and millions of annual visitors. Join us as we talk to Captain Newman about her personal and professional journey, the unique and critical missions of the "Invisible Corps" (USPHS), how our national parks are vital for continued health and well-being, and how time in the natural world benefits patients and caregivers alike.Captain Newman discusses the National Parks Service's many offerings, including the upcoming National Parks Week events happening April 20-28 across the country and some of her incredible memories of practicing public health in some of our country's most beautiful "offices." We could not get outside fast enough after hearing this fantastic conversation (for the best possible reasons). Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast.We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOWNational Park Week: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/npscelebrates/national-park-week.htmNational Park Week Calendar of Events: https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/4-8-2024-national-park-week.htmCaptain Newman Article: https://thebatt.com/featured/life-on-the-frontline/Invisible Corps Documentary: https://invisiblecorps.com/* The unbelievable Shawn Bell produces the Nature of Wellness Podcast.** The NOW theme song was penned, performed, produced, and provided by the dynamic duo of Phil and Niall Monahan. Climate ConfidentWith a new episode every Wed morning, the Climate Confident podcast is weekly podcast...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify

“What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them that the time they spend with you is worthwhile.” – Vivek Wadhwa It is impossible to overstate the importance of having professional black mentors in the end of life and death care industry. Individuals who selflessly give of themselves, teach, encourage, uplift, and provide opportunity without being competitive all the while allowing apprentices, students, and professionals to stand on their shoulders and to build careers while passing the baton forward. Historically those who've held positions of power and influence have been white male gatekeepers. For young black professionals like myself and those that are constantly emerging, seeking help, guidance, direction, and support from these gatekeepers has been intimidating, disappointing and unfruitful. Luckily this changing. In 2019, I was blessed to meet my mentor Mrs. Anita Grant. Anita Pollard Grant, RN, MS, BSN, AAS, MLD-C is the Founder and CEO of GranEnterprise LLC, the parent copy of the NBE Review Coach. Anita graduated cum laude from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science degree. As an undergraduate, she was a member of Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society for Nursing. After graduation, Anita became a licensed Registered Nurse and a Commissioned Officer in the United States Navy Nurse Corps. During those active-duty years, she gained hands-on experience in Same Day Surgical Care and Behavioral Health Nursing and in supervising staff, facilitating interdisciplinary communication and coordinating patient care. Years later, Anita transitioned to the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps where she served as a Nurse Manager as well as a National Healthcare Recruiter with the Department of Justice/Federal Bureau of Prisons, a Nurse Consultant/Surveyor with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and a Senior Program Manager for the National Institute of Corrections. In May 2021, Anita retired as an O6/Captain from the USPHS after almost thirty (30) years of honorable service. Anita has been an answer to my prayers since the first time we met. Over the years she has poured into me in ways that would take too long to share in this 500-word blog. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Anita for The Death and Grief Talk Podcast. Though she and I have worked extensively together over the past 3 years developing course, trainings and much more and surprisingly, after all this time and sharing I had no idea what bought her to the death care industry. During our time together, Anita and discuss the foundation of her career in the armed services, her transition into funeral services and her passion for combing her unique life experience, academic and professional skills to help students nationwide achieve licensure in both funeral directing and embalming. Anita also shared what legacy she hopes to leave behind.

I think a vast majority of Americans do not know that within the Health and Human Services (HHS), there are 8 agencies that are part of something called the U.S. Public Health Service (UPSHS). USPHS has a uniformed service called the USPHS Commissioned Corps whose servicemembers are considered active duty and veterans of this country. It's been around since 1889. America doesn't recognize USPHS as an entity anymore though this wasn't always the case. Admittedly, the organization and structure of USPHS has become way too complicated to the detriment of the Commissioned Corps and America's public health. In this episode I discuss the 8 agencies that comprise USPHS today. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phsproud/message

On July 1st, 1946, what is now known as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officially opened in Atlanta, GA. What many may not know is that the CDC was started by medical officers of one of our country's uniformed services: the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (USPHS). It was birthed from WWII and is considered by some to be the largest institutional legacy from the war. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/phsproud/message

"The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is widely acknowledged as a violation of ethics today, but the social conditions of the time allowed the grave injustices to happen in plain sight. In the 1930s, social Darwinism emerged as justification for racist practices. The perceived inevitability of African Americans' natural “extinction” was used to justify many unethical practices within the study, including the decision to withhold known treatment from participants. The USPHS earned the approval of the United States government after making the case that African Americans would not seek out treatment of their own volition, a harmful preconception linked to the theory of social Darwinism."

Think you know just about everything there is to know about the Uniformed Services? Well, you may, BUT, are you familiar with the U.S. Public Health Service? In today's episode, Erin talks with Carma Connor-Marroquin, a Registered Dietitian and retired U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) officer.Carma is passionate about sharing the career path available to public health professionals in the USPHS. After earning her RD credential in 1994, she still had trouble finding full time employment. Then as fate would have it, she received a post card from a U.S. Air Force (USAF) Recruiter saying they needed dietitians.Carma took the opportunity, knowing that if she didn't like it, the AF would move her back home in three years. While serving in the USAF, Carma ran into a USPHS officer at a professional meeting and learned about the opportunity. After 7 years in the USAF, Carma transferred her commission to the USPHS where she worked for another 14 years and retired at the rank of Commander.During her time in the USPHS, Carma also held a volunteer, additional duty as the chief recruiter for the dietitian professional category for 4 years. She realized that most people had never heard of the USPHS. The recruiting brochures were even entitled “The Best Kept Secret." So, Carma has continued her mission into retirement, telling people about the career path available in the USPHS.To connect with Carma:USPHS Find Your Fit Facebook group:   https://www.facebook.com/groups/usphsfindyourfitMore free training about the USPHS opportunity:  https://www.thecarmaconnection.com/phsTake the Quiz to see if you qualify to apply:  https://www.thecarmaconnection.com/usphs-surveyYouTube:  https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCmeAKii360D9d-aXWXXRlIw/videos/upload?filter=%5B%5D&sort=%7B%22columnType%22%3A%22date%22%2C%22sortOrder%22%3A%22DESCENDING%22%7DOfficial USPHS website to apply:  usphs.govOther social (Facebook; Instagram; Linked In) Carma Connor To connect with Erin: Life After the Uniform Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lifeaftertheuniformLife After the Uniform Facebook Podcast Page:https://www.facebook.com/ErinSilverPodcastInstagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/erinsilverpodcast/

Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Amazon/Audible Read the full show notes at The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast https://www.thepharmacistsvoice.com/podcast Dr. Renu Lal's path from pharmacy school to the U.S. Public Health Service was not a direct one.  She earned her BS Degree in Pharmacy from UCONN in 1998.  Then, she earned her Post-Bac PharmD from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston in 2000.  Renu did not know what she wanted to do with her PharmD when she graduated.  According to Renu, “It's ok to not know and make it up as you go along.”  She spent time in community practice as a floater, then entered the U.S. PHS.  Her PHS service was interrupted briefly when she left PHS to join a clinical regulatory team at Genentech in San Francisco, CA.  When that role ended, she rejoined PHS.  As of October 2021, her total service time is approximately 10 years.   While in her undergrad program at UCONN, Renu learned about PHS.  A speaker from the Indian Health Service spoke to her class.  After finishing her BS Degree in Pharmacy, Renu joined the U.S. PHS as a JRCOSTEP and completed a paid, 4-month rotation at a Psych Hospital in SE DC called St. Elizabeth's Hospital. She loved the experience and thought it was amazing!  Students can join either the JRCOSTEP Program or the SRCOSTEP Program.  Both are paid positions with benefits.  Visit https://www.usphs.gov/students/ to learn more.   During our conversation, I talked about my experience with PHS at the Federal Bureau of Prisons.  I did an 8-week rotation at FCI Milan during the last semester of my BS Pharm Degree program at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy in 2001.  My pharmacist in charge was creative and resourceful, and she did amazing things with a small formulary.  I learned a lot from her and that experience.  I wanted to join the Navy upon graduation, but I was medically disqualified due to asthma. The United States Public Health Service (U.S. PHS) is led by the Surgeon General of the U.S. and is more than 200 years old.  It is one of eight uniformed services and is the only one dedicated solely to protecting and advancing America's Public Health.  As a U.S. PHS Officer, Renu is first in line to defend America from public health threats, including deploying for public health emergencies.  She has deployed many times and provided essential healthcare to underserved and vulnerable populations.  The U.S. Public Health Service used to be “pharmacy's best kept secret,” but that's not true anymore because PHS has played a prominent role in response to COVID.  As a PHS Officer, there is an opportunity to serve in many HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) agencies.  Examples include IHS (Indian Health Service), BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons), NIH (National Institutes of Health), CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), FDA (Food and Drug Administration), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration), and others.  Being an Officer makes it easy to transfer among agencies. According to Renu, PHS Officer benefits are great!  They are on the military pay scale with paid vacation, retirement benefits (with minimum of 20 years of service), medical benefits, the GI Bill and more.  To learn more about age restrictions and eligibility requirements to serve, visit https://www.usphs.gov.   Resources that DDI (Department of Drug Information) offers SBIA Program Free Conferences and Webinars Podcasts   FDA Drug Safety Podcasts Drug Information Soundcast in Clinical Oncology “D.I.S.C.O.”   SBIA Chronicles (trending regulatory topics) Drug Info Rounds educational videos featuring DDI pharmacists   CDER Learn - portal for all CE activities.  Webinars and podcasts are there.   We concluded the interview with Renu's advice for currently-practicing or newly graduated pharmacists:  Do and learn what interests you, and the rest will fall into place.   Thank you for listening to The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast Episode 123!

In 1889 the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps was established. Back then, it was the Marine Hospital Service. In 1891 U.S. law mandated that all immigrants coming into the U.S. received a health inspection by a Service physician. This was the era of "Manifest Destiny" and Americans were spreading Westward and more immigrants were incoming from abroad. Ships carrying immigrants were known to be harbingers of disease. Thus, in 1893 President Harrison directed Surgeon General Walter Wyman to strengthen quarantine laws. Surgeon General Wyman ordered that ALL arriving ships be approved by a federal health officer. The most well-known ports were Ellis Island on the East coast and Angel Island on the West coast; however, there were many such quarantine stations throughout the U.S. The Columbia River Quarantine Station sits at the mouth of the Columbia river as it exits into the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast. The station is located in Knappton Cove, WS and the Public Health Service officers were stationed south, across the river in Astoria, OR. The station was in operation from 1899-1938.

Ed has over 40 years of professional experience in environmental health practice, hazardous materials management and research.  Prior to leading the company on a full-time basis, he worked in various positions in the private and public sectors as a chemical technician and Registered Sanitarian.  In 1978, he joined the Commissioned Corps of the U.S. Public Health Service (USPHS) as an officer and was assigned to various positions of increasing responsibility in the Indian Health Service and hazardous waste management at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).  After 30 years of service he retired from active duty with the USPHS as an Environmental Health Director holding the rank of Captain.  He continued working with the NIH for another five years in a civilian position as a Special Assistant to the Director of the Division of Environmental Protection.  In that capacity, he created and lead sustainability innovation projects including the Substances of Concern Reduction Initiative and development of novel methods to facilitate incorporation of diverse sustainability related requirements into electronic purchasing systems. Over his career, Ed received numerous uniformed services and civilian commendations.  He created and led the Mad as a Hatter Campaign for a Mercury-Free NIH and developed new training materials to improve awareness of the potential role of mercury contamination in promoting development of resistance to antibiotics in bacteria.  For the campaign effort, he received the American Chemical Society’s 2005 Howard Fawcett Award for outstanding contributions in chemical health and safety.  Two projects that he subsequently created and promoted while assigned to the NIH received White House GreenGov presidential awards from the Bush and Obama administrations.  In 2009, the NIH laboratory building decontamination and decommissioning process, now referred to as Sustainable High Efficiency Deconstruction (SHED) received the Closing the Circle GreenGov award for the category Seeds of Change, and in 2013 the Substances of Concern Reduction Initiative received the award for the category Sustainable Innovation. While assigned to NIH Captain Rau carried out applied research activities relating to his hazardous waste management responsibilities.  This included development of minimization and treatment methods for mixed waste (radioactive hazardous waste) and other multi hazardous waste streams generated by biomedical research activities.  Working with other NIH investigators he also devised novel apparatus and experiments to investigate the extreme resistance of prions, the agents responsible for mad cow disease, scrapie and other spongiform encephalopathies to thermal inactivation.  The apparatus simulated conditions in a medical waste incinerator and captured emissions from burning tissues containing a thermally resistant strain of scrapie.  These studies defined the extreme conditions necessary for inactivation of the agent and led Ed to propose a new theory of agent replication by means of inorganic templates.  This work was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science and co authored with Dr. Carleton Gajdusek, a Nobel Laureate and other leading prion researchers. Ed is a Registered Hazardous Substance Professional and licensed in Maryland licensed as an Environmental Health Specialist.  He holds active memberships in the American Chemical Society, National Environmental Health Association, Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals, Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, the Cosmos Club of Washington DC, Medical Reserve Corps of the Hawaii Department of Health, and a newly formed local Community Emergency Response Team for the Discovery Harbour area of Hawaii.   Resources:Website - https://sustainablebioresources.com/

Rear Admiral (RADM) Pamela Schweitzer - retired Chief Professional Officer of Pharmacy for the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) - talks to us about the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists during a public health crisis.  Dr. Schweitzer was responsible for providing leadership and coordination of USPHS pharmacy programs for the Office of the Surgeon General and the Department of Health & Human Services from 2014-2018. Key Lessons: Pharmacists play a critical role in the USPHS because they have a unique skill set. A pandemic, like COVID-19, requires a coordinated effort between the public and private sectors to address mass vaccination efforts as well as shortages of medications, testing, and personal protective equipment. Behind the scenes, USPHS pharmacists are deeply involved in policy development.  Recent policy changes have empowered pharmacists to vaccinate children to meet an unmet public health need. Pharmacists in the USPHS must wear many hats. While formal training is helpful, getting a wide breadth of on-the-job experiences is critical. Be curious. Learn new skills in every position/job. Be flexible and positive. Be comfortable with shifting conditions. Step up, speak up, and volunteer.  Act when you can.  Be a role model. If you'd like to get more involved, consider volunteering with your local Medical Reserve Corps or becoming a Commissioned Officer in the USPHS.

In this episode, our guest is Rear Admiral (RADM) Pamela Schweitzer, who retired in September 2018 from a four year term as the Assistant Surgeon General and 10th Chief Pharmacist Officer of the United States Public Health Service (PHS). As Chief Pharmacist Officer (first female in this role), RADM Schweitzer was responsible for providing leadership and coordination of more than 1,300 PHS pharmacy officers in 13 agencies with the Office of the Surgeon General and the Department of Health & Human Services. Here are some topic areas: - Tell us how you got involved with public health and a little about your career path. - How is the USPHS Commissioned Corps supporting the COVID-19 pandemic? - As first female pharmacist CPO, what advice did you have for other officers? - What are some take-aways you can share from your experience working for the federal government (HHS)? - What are you going to be working on in 2021? Points that will be covered: - Take risks - Open to changes within career - Leading from behind - relationships & collaboration - Next chapter Guest - Rear Admiral (RADM) Pamela Schweitzer Host - Hillary Blackburn, PharmD, MBA www.hillaryblackburn.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/hillary-blackburn-67a92421/ @talktoyourpharmacist for Instagram and Facebook @HillBlackburn Twitter

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the Tuskegee Experiment which was a clinical study conducted by the United States Public Health Service from 1932 to 1972 in which the U.S. Public Health Service told the hundreds of Black men that were a part of this study that, by participating, they would be treated for “bad blood” and would receive free healthcare. But, instead of receiving healthcare, the USPHS “treated” the participants with placebos and known to be ineffective methods while ensuring that these men would be denied real medical treatment from any other facility. The men in the program were also never advised that many of them actually had syphilis...and that this was the reason USPHS had selected them for the study. As a result of this withholding of information and withholding treatment, many of the men involved in this study would later die of syphilis and an additional 40 wives of the men in the study would contract the disease with 19 children born with congenital syphilis.

If there’s anyone who has spent their career preparing for a global pandemic, it’s Anne Schuchat, MD. Currently, she serves as the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). She served as acting CDC director from January-July 2017 and February-March 2018.  In the past 15 years, Dr. Schuchat worked on CDC emergency responses for the 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza response, the 2003 SARS outbreak in Beijing, and the 2001 bioterrorist anthrax response. She’s worked at the CDC since 1988 on immunization, respiratory and infectious disease. Kate Winslet’s character in the 2011 film ‘Contagion’ was even modeled after Schuchat. She sat down with ASTHO for a 1-on-1 to discuss her reaction to the COVID-19 response, what policymakers should be thinking about next, and what keeps her up at night. “The virus hasn’t gone through the entire population. We don’t know whether the months ahead will bring a much worse illness, but I think we need to be ready for that. We need to have our systems even stronger than they’ve been in the past few months,” Schuchat says.

While the world has seen tremendous improvement in the availability of life-saving vaccines, new, targeted approaches are needed to address remaining gaps in immunization coverage. Among pressing challenges are completing polio eradication; reaching the disenfranchised, including those in fragile and disordered settings; supporting governments as they develop their own sustainable immunization systems, and; addressing vaccine hesitancy. The World Health Organization (WHO), Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the U.S. government, and other global immunization organizations are striving to meet these demands as they develop new strategies and programmatic enhancements for the next decade of global immunization. If successful, these advances have the potential to significantly enhance global stability and health security.   The CSIS Global Health Policy Center will host a major conference on September 27 that will examine the innovations that will shape this future. The conference will feature keynote presentations by Seth Berkley, Chief Executive Officer of Gavi; Kate O’Brien, Director of Immunization, Vaccines, and Biologicals at the WHO; and Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of UNICEF. Registration will open at 8:30am. Light refreshments will be served in the morning and lunch will be served at 11:30am. J.

Between 1885 and 1920, approximately 21,000,000 immigrants arrived in America. Roughly 75 percent (75%) of them entered through New York Bay and were processed at Ellis Island after the immigration station opened in 1892. The arrival of immigrants from new parts of the world brought fears of new diseases and new germs being introduced to the United States. As a result, immigrants who arrived were first met by medical officers from the US Public Health Service (USPHS), who examined them for evidence of “loathsome or dangerous contagious diseases,” which could be grounds for sending immigrants home. During the early years of the 20th century, trachoma, an infectious eye disease that could lead to blindness if left untreated, became one of the leading reasons for excluding immigrants on medical grounds. To check for trachoma USPHS officers would flip back immigrants’ eyelids using their fingers or a buttonhook, an implement originally intended for fastening the small buttons common on shoes and clothing at the time.
