The GLMS Foundation has distributed more than 120 PPE care packages to local physician practices since the onset of COVID-19. These care packages consisted of hand sanitizer, masks and gloves and were made possible through donations from local organizations as well as monetary donations from members like you. As of Nov. 18, $4,600 has been donated to purchase new PPE for these care packages and the Foundation has matched that amount. If you’d still like to make a PPE or monetary donation, you can do so here. Every dollar donated will be matched by the Foundation to purchase new PPE for this important cause.
Important Reminder: Mandatory Electronic Prescribing of Controlled Substances effective January 1, 2021

More volunteers needed to deliver prescription medications!
Since the beginning of the pandemic, our GLMS members have partnered with our GLMS Foundation in delivering vital prescription medications to low-income quarantined patients in our community in conjunction with the Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness Department. Recently, there has been a huge uptick in daily prescription delivery requests, and we need your help to meet this increasing demand. Without this program, these patients may not otherwise have access to their prescriptions. If you (or anyone in your practice or family) have any availability to help with these deliveries, please sign up here.
It’s all in the head. This month’s issue of Louisville Medicine looks at all sides of neurology--from migraines, to neurological disorders, to neuroimaging and more.
