The Courage of Corporate America is Needed to End America ’ s Opioid Crisis
By RYAN HAMPTON
A Kaiser Family Foundation tracking poll published in July found that three in ten U.S. adults (29%) said they had someone in their family who struggled with opioid dependence. Also surprising, and encouraging, was the statistic that 90% support increasing access to opioid use disorder treatment programs in their communities.
As a person in recovery from opioid use disorder and advocate, my read on this data set is that the public support is there. Now more than ever, we need leaders in healthcare, public policy, and corporate America to have the courage to advance effective treatment options. T...

The Impact of Healthcare Professional ’ s Sports and Fitness Activities on Personal and Professional Life
In 2010, a third of the world’s population was considered physically inactive. Back then it was estimated that approximately 5 million deaths were attributable to physical inactivity, making it the fourth leading cause of mortality worldwide.
To address this global issue, a whole society approach consisting of “policy and environmental changes” to make physical activity “an easier choice for leisure and transportation purposes”. An example of this is the recent proliferation of bike lanes in many of our cities. We also need to adjust our social and cultural norms to promote physical activit...

Wednesday Bible Study: Science
Note: I am aware that the charter of Hamas can be construed as racist. I do not defend Hamas. That is beside the point of my recent post. Psalm 19 is interesting for at least two reasons. Verses 5 and 6 were cited by the court in the trial of Galileo, for his heresy of claiming that the earth rotates, and revolves around the sun. The last verse, omitting the words " my rock and my redeemer, " are recited by the priest from the Book of Common Prayer in the Episcopal church. It may be used in other denominations as well, but that ' s the one I ' m familiar with. Psalm 20 is a prayer for victory in war, about ...

Drug prices and fast approvals can harm patients
An excerpt from Big Food, Big Pharma, Big Lies.
