🚨 September is National Preparedness Month! Pharmacists play a critical role in disaster response — from ensuring patients have access to essential medications during emergencies to supporting community health resilience. Take time this month to review your emergency preparedness plan, and don't forget to keep an extra supply of your medications on hand in case of an emergency.

🌟 AKPhA Member Spotlight: Isaac Bailey, PharmD 🌟

Meet Isaac! Raised in Fairbanks with family roots in the Norton Sound area, Isaac earned his B.S. in Chemistry and M.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Alaska Fairbanks before completing his PharmD at Washington State University in 2021. Today, he serves interior Alaska patients at Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center.

Beyond patient care, Isaac's passion is precepting students — he says it's the best way to stay sharp, keep that med chem knowledge alive 😄, and help pass the torch to the next generation preparing for the NAPLEX. His dedication earned him the 2023 Preceptor of Excellence Award from UAA/ISU — a surprise he credits to his amazing pharmacy colleagues: "Many hands make light work." 🙌

Outside the pharmacy, Isaac is about as Alaskan as it gets — fishing, hiking, and mountain biking when he can, and ripping dirt bikes, four-wheelers, and snowmachines the rest of the time. His newest adventure? Flying! Isaac earned his Private Pilot license in spring 2025 and hopes to pursue his commercial pilot and CFI certifications down the road.

As his wife Stormy puts it best: "All of your hobbies are just modes of transportation." 😂 ✈️🏍️🎣

Thank you for everything you do for Alaska pharmacy, Isaac! 💊❄️

💜 Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember those we've lost and recommit to prevention. Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose in minutes — and it's available at pharmacies across Alaska, often without a prescription. Ask your pharmacist how to get it and how to use it. You could save a life.
