@AldiUSA I purchased these onions TODAY at my local Aldi on Baum Blvd In Pittsburgh, PA. Cut into them and half the bag is rotten. I cannot call the store to inquire about a refund because your "savings model" does not include customer service. Very dissapointed.

A new report from the CDC finds that Americans who had experienced traumatic events as a child were at a higher risk of dying from 5 of the top 10 leading causes of death. Preventing childhood trauma is critical, public health experts say.

I'm officially published y'all! Be sure to pick up a copy of "A #PublicHealth Guide to Ending the #OpioidEpidemic" available at the APHA Press booth. My chapter presents #SBIRT as an #EvidenceBased practice to combat opioid misuse. #APHA2019 @APHAAnnualMtg @TIPHtweets

@pharmacists can play a critical role in addressing #SUD with their patients, but don't always receive training in school. Come by Section 4213, Board 7 in the exhibit hall to learn how to integrate SUD training into pharmacy school curriculum! #APHA2019 @DanVentricelli

[Alex Nowalk, MPH, CPH, CHES @nowalkarazzi]

Universally screening patients in clinical settings allows us to 🔍 patients at-risk for developing an #SUD, have brief 🗣️ with providers, ⬇️ their risk, and 🔗those in need to the appropriate treatment resources. #EarlyIntervention #Prevention #SBIRT #APHA2019

We cannot allow pharmaceutical companies to continue to profit while people die everyday of antibiotic resistant infections, most of which are entirely preventable. Health care is a #humanright not a privilege.
