  • The Shape of the Shore by Rana Awdish
    _________________________________________________________________________ NON-FICTION | FALL 2020 The Shape of the Shore By Rana Awdish In April our bodies stopped pretending. Standing at the glass door of the ICU room, fear set the rate and depth of our breath – rapid and shallow. We were desperate to capture the small, trapped pockets of clean air behind our masks. Our hearts ached from hurling themselves against our sternums. Our pulse bounded in our throats with a dry and weary urgency. Our bodies were warning us; we were not OK. Our coworkers walked us to get tested for the virus. They would also gently encourage us to decorate our PPE. We’d find brightly colored markers and puffy paint set out for us. As if by brightening the black face shields we could lighten the cloud of anxious dread we carried into every room. The psychologists made more formal, ceremonial suggestions. We could create a kind of meaningful ritual around the donning of our protective equipment, they explained. You could attempt to acknowledge the sacredness of the act of applying protection to your bodies. Take a moment, to try to envision an invisible cloak of bright white light enveloping you in safety. Picture carrying that safe, comforting blanket of protection with you into the rooms. We stared back blankly, seeing only the desperate thrashing patients on the other side of the glass. We wondered if we were the only ones who could see them. At a time when no one could ensure our safety, we could color and pretend. Or we could choose to care for our patients.

  • NAAMA 4Oth Annual National Convention Speakers
    NAAMA 4oth Annual National Convention Speakers Ghada Abdallah, RPH Ghada Abdallah, pharmacist and owner of the Park Pharmacy in Grosse Pointe Park, has made education of pharmacists and patients a priority ever since she lost her cousin to a heroin overdose in April 2015. One month after her 38-year-old cousin died, Abdallah quickly organized a continuing medical education course for pharmacists to train them how scripts are filled and impart information on opioid problems in the Dearborn area. As a result, Abdallah now works with many organizations, including The Family Center in Grosse Pointe and Harper Woods, Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority, the Michigan Pharmacists Association, the Wayne County Pharmacists Association, HYPE/SAFE Substance Abuse Coalition and the Islamic Institute of Knowledge Mosque, both in Dearborn. Abdallah advised state Medicaid officials in late 2015 to ensure recipients have adequate access to Narcan, a lifesaving drug for overdoses. In 2016, she worked with DWMHA and SAFE to provide Narcan training to the public.

  • Our Mentoring Mondays Focus Is Three-Fold: First, Recognizing Today
    Mentoring Mondays March 8, 2021 Our Mentoring Mondays focus is three-fold: first, recognizing today as International Women’s Day; second, recognizing March as “reading month”; and third, recognizing Michigan women who have made a significant impact on issues facing our state. Appropriately, let’s begin with -- Happy International Women’s Day! A few days ago, Governor Whitmer issued a proclamation declaring the month of March as “Reading Month in Michigan.” In her press release, Governor Whitmer encouraged everyone to find time to read. This sparked an idea! Let’s recognize Michigan women authors to coincide with reading month and provide a reading list, which you will find at the end of this article. Our feature story is about Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, author of What the Eyes Don’t See, one of The New York Times 100 most notable books of 2018. You will recall that Dr. Hanna-Attisha was a speaker at our MI-ACE Annual Conference in 2018. Mona Hanna-Attisha is a pediatrician, professor, and public health advocate whose research exposed the Flint water crisis. Her research revealed children were exposed to dangerous levels of lead in Flint’s water supply. Commonly referred to as “Dr. Mona,” she is now the director of an initiative to mitigate the impact of the crisis. Born Mona Hanna in Sheffield, England, Dr. Mona grew up in Royal Oak, Michigan and graduated from Kimball High School. Mona Hanna received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, her Master of Public Health degree in Health Management and Policy from the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and her medical degree from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.
