Thank You!It was another great day at Smith Drug Company at the beautiful Myrtle Beach Marriott for our Continuing Education and Gift & Trade Show.

The Continuing Education portion of the event kicked things off on Friday morning. CE attendees received 15 CEUs for the weekend. Friday afternoon brought the Grand opening of our 10th Annual Gift & Trade show. More than 130 vendors and 144 exhibit spaces filled the show room. Customers were able to take advantage of the “see, touch and feel” of all kinds of products from OTC, HME, Diabetic, Candy, Gift and Pharmacy Service Products. The North Myrtle Beach JR. ROTC presented the colors and Kristi Johnson sang our national anthem. And with that our show was officially opened. Our 2013 Trade Show theme was “Proud to Be Your Hometown Pharmacy”. During Trade Show hours, the Smith Team wore white lab coats to help customers and vendors identify them with any questions or concerns.

Saturday our Trade Show floor opened again at 8:00am. With excitement of the last day, customers and vendors were busy placing orders. Door prizes donated by the vendors were awarded to some lucky customers. The end of the trade show brought on the afternoon sessions of CE.

Our Customer dinner was held in the Atlantic Ballroom with Sr. Vice President Rick Simerly welcoming customers. After dinner customers and members of the Smith team danced the night away to the Masters of Motown. It was a great evening for the entire family.

It was a privilege for us that you chose to spend your time with the Smith Family at the Marriott Myrtle Beach at Grand Dunes. We hope you find your decision wise but fun choice on how to spend your valuable time. It is our wish that when you left you will have a very positive impression of who serves you as your primary supplier. Thank you for your support, your business and you time.

Great Health & Wellness From Smith Management

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #1: Stay Inside

Lightning strikes, flash flooding, high winds that can knock a grown man down, flying debris that can hit you, and more all happen outdoors. It’s important during bad weather to stay indoors and in a safe place away from exterior windows.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #2: Stay Away from Windows

As beautiful as a storm is, and as much as many of us might want to watch the electric show a raging storm can give us, storms have awesome power and destructive capability. Debris blowing, shingles knocked off roofs, tree branches, pebbles and rocks and even super harsh winds and water, can all break windows. If you’re near a window with metal framework, though it’s unlikely, it is not impossible for lightning to travel electricity along the frame, resulting in electrocution. Stay away from windows and safe in interior rooms with no exterior windows, and preferably no exterior walls if at all possible.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #3: Do Not Drive

I know I said earlier not to go outside, but if you were already outside, it’s important not to drive. Flash flooding, particularly when you are driving in your car, can be dangerous. It’s difficult to see how deep a puddle of water is, and it’s not unusual for a car to stall in a dip that appeared shallow but wasn’t. Worse yet, your car could get washed away, and you with it, and drowning is a very real possibility in these moments.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #4: Use only Minimal Electricity

When a storm is brewing, especially one with a lot of electrical activity or wind, it’s important to keep your electronics UNPLUGGED. Not just turned off, but unplugged. If you have a computer, don’t think that a UPS is going to ensure your computer’s safety. You are still safer to unplug the UPS and the computer from the wall. You can keep the computer on the UPS, but the UPS must be unplugged.

You should also unplug the cable lines from your network cards and cable boxes, since many cable lines run up telephone poles in the alleys or sides of houses, and a strike to a pole can fry your equipment. Any equipment that can be fried (electronics like radios, televisions, computers, etc.) should be unplugged from electricity.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #5: Stay off the Phone

Telephones, particularly phones plugged directly into an outlet, use electricity that is separate from the electricity you have in your home. If you have a corded phone that is plugged into a jack, even if your electricity in your home is out, you will likely still have phone service if you have a traditional landline. This landline should be reserved for emergencies only. It is possible to be shocked through a phone line when it’s plugged into a live phone jack.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #6: Have a Corded Phone AND Cell Phone

As mentioned earlier, corded phones will still work when the electricity goes out as long as the landlines are still working too. Cell phone towers can often lose signals when storms are brewing, and landlines can sometimes get broken or cut off when there are storms and bad weather. To keep safe in a storm, have both a cell phone and a corded phone to use in case of an emergency.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #7: Have Bottled Water

With flooding, lightning, electricity problems, etc, having fresh water that is safe to drink is one of the most important things you can have during bad weather or a storm. After Hurricane Ike, my friend who lived near Galveston went three or four days without any water pressure in the house, and then there was an order by the city to boil water for any use once the water came back up.

If you have a baby, people who are ill or immuno-compromised, or elderly people living in your home, fresh, clean water is absolutely essential, and it’s not a bad thing to have around for the rest of the household either. We can live a long time without food, but we can’t go long without water.

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE DURING A STORM?

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO KEEP YOURSELF SAFE DURING A STORM?Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #8: Bring Pets Inside

If you’re a dog owner, have a horse, or another big animal, you need to have a way to bring them inside or under shelter during a storm. Animals are your responsibility, and leaving them outside and unprotected during a storm is simply irresponsible. If you have a barn, a covered porch, a storage shed, a laundry room, or other type of room that’s safe, you can put the animal in that area if you don’t want them in your home, but you absolutely MUST provide shelter from the storm for your animal.

One of the saddest things I heard after Hurricane Ike was the people who came home to find their pets were lost, wandering the neighborhood. My friend found several stray dogs wandering around, hungry and wet and muddy. My pets are like family to me, so it makes me furious when people who these pets depend upon don’t take the time to protect their furry companions.

This also will help prevent the spread of disease caused by animals eating decaying things blown about by the storm, or worse, from dead animals that animal control officers can’t get to before people start getting out and about again after a storm.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #9:Outdoor Electricity

When a storm is brewing, be sure to bring things like outdoor electric cords and extension cords into some place dry and disconnect lights or other items plugged into these cords. This includes Christmas lights and decorations or other semi-permanent lighting outdoors.

Storm Safety and Bad Weather Tip #10: Remove Potential Debris

Things can get blown around in a storm, including lawn chairs, umbrellas, plastic chairs, BBQ equipment, lawn equipment, potted plants, and more. If you have things in your yard that can be blown around with a big enough gust, you should secure them indoors or in a sturdy storage. source: Yahoo Voices

IMPORTANT:NEW DHEC REQUIREMENT

DHEC by August 24, 2013.

To register, go to the South Carolina Immunization Provider Access System

(SCI PAS) .

For questions or more information about the immunization registry, or if you are unable to register through SCI PAS, please contact

DHEC by phone at 866-439-4082 (select option 2, Immunization Registry) or email

questions to immunizationregulation@dhec.sc.gov.

Thanks to the unique geography of North America where polar air from Canada, moist tropical air from the Gulf of Mexico and dry air from the American Southwest meet to produce intense thunderstorms, an estimated 1,000 tornadoes occur in the United States each year, more than any other country in the world.

Tornadoes can take almost any shape and size. They can strike one at a time or in clusters; they can leave a path of destruction 50 yards wide, or more than a mile wide; they can touch down for a matter of seconds, or they can remain in contact with the ground for an hour or more

Tornadoes: Safety Before

When & Where Are Tornadoes Most Likely?

In the U.S., the most active time of the year for tornado activity commonly referred to as "tornado season" -- typically falls between April and July, with May and June usually the peak months. Many of those tornadoes strike in the region known as "tornado alley," which stretches across the Plains states from northern Texas to Nebraska.

Like the thunderstorms that spawn them, however, tornadoes are possible at any time of year and in any part of the country. Though in many cases advance warnings can be issued for tornadoes, it is important to be aware that tornadoes can change direction, speed and intensity very quickly.

Some tornado facts to keep in mind:

• Tornadoes usually accompany thunderstorms, but not always.

• Sometimes the air is calm before a tornado hits, while in other cases it is preceded by strong, gusty winds.

• A tornado may follow sunshine or be shrouded in heavy rain and large, dark, low-lying clouds.

• The sound of a tornado has been compared to a freight train or a jet engine, but you may or may not hear such a noise before a tornado strikes.

Stay Alert for Storms

To ensure you receive all of the latest weather updates during a severe thunderstorm, you’ll need more than one reliable source of weather information.

We recommend the following:• Sign up for The Weather Channel Alerts

for your mobile phone and/or e-mail. Receive all our alerts by signing up here.

• Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio, which broadcasts all of the latest weather updates as well as storm watches and warnings for your area. Learn more at the NOAA Weather Radio site.

• Make sure you have fresh batteries for your radio(s) and flashlights, in case your home loses power for an extended period of time

• Learn the difference between a severe thunderstorm watch and warning as well as a tornado watch and warning.

Family Preparedness Plan

Develop a disaster preparedness plan for your family that includes the following:

• A place to go if necessary when a tornado watch or warning is issued, depending on where you are ”“ at home, school, work, or if you’re outdoors or in your car.

• Plan for a friend or relative you’ve designated as your point of contact if you are separated from your family during a severe thunderstorm.

• Place where family members can meet if you’re separated after a tornado strikes.

• Names and contact information for your insurance agents, including policy types and numbers.

• Telephone numbers for your utility providers, including gas, water and electricity.

ADHERENCE SERVICES Why Are Adherence Programs Important? Everyone is talking about the need for better medication adherence and therapy compliance. It has been reported that an estimated 75% of American adults do not take their medication as prescribed. Many of these patients have concerns about what the side effects will be, don’t understand why the medication is needed or feel they cannot afford the medication. Research has shown that taking drugs as prescribed lowers total health care costs by an amount that exceeds the costs of the drugs themselves (Roebuck et al. 2011). Respondents to a recent survey conducted by NCPA cited the number one reason for failing to comply was simply ‘forgetting’. As a pharmacist, we are one of the most trusted professions. Educating patients about the importance of compliance is crucial to their health. Independent pharmacies have a great advantage over the box chains. Unlike the box chains that may not take the necessary time to adequately counsel a patient, and ensure their patient is comfortable with their medication, the independent pharmacy does this without a second thought. In fact, the NCPA survey found that patients of independent community pharmacies had the highest level of personal connection, with 89% agreeing that the pharmacist or staff ‘knows you pretty well’ compared to only 67% with the large chains. Being a member of Pharmacy First’s Adherence program gives you another unique advantage to expand the support and education provided to your patients through our refill reminder letter program. You are able to increase the loyalty that your patients have and deepen the customer service provided to your patients, at no cost to you. Benefits of Adherence Programs:

Develop stronger patient relationships through support and education Expand your role as a healthcare partner Ease your patients’ concerns about side effects and taking their medication Help your patients better understand why their medication is needed and

ensure they are committed to its use

SUCCESS STORIES In June, we successfully recovered $85,211.27 in “lost funds” on behalf of our member pharmacies. To date, we have recovered $2.4 Million in 2013. All recovered funds have been deposited directly into our impacted members’ accounts.

INDUSTRY NEWS 9,600 Online Pharmacies Shut Down: (Associated Press 06/27/2013 Murphy, Tom) In an effort to fight against counterfeit drugs sold over the Internet, the U.S. and international regulators seized over $41 million in illegal medicines worldwide. They also shut down 1,677 websites in their ongoing fight. The campaign launch that the FDA started last fall is to warn consumers that most online pharmacies do not follow pharmacy industry standards or laws and the products being sold could either harm or kill.

Medicare Cuts DTS Services: (NCPA, 07/05/2013) Beginning July 1, Medicare reimbursement for diabetes test supplies (DTS) will fall by an average of 72 percent for retail and banned community pharmacies that deliver to homebound seniors or seniors in assisted living facilities. Some providers and equipment may no longer be available to Medicare patients after this date. VALUE ADDED PROGRAMS Mevesi Inc.:
