In recognition of Veterans Day, Amplity Health launched ImPACT Federal Health, a new publication dedicated to supporting Patient-Aligned Care Teams (PACTs) in removing barriers to care for military and Veterans Administration (VA) patients, at the Joint Federal Pharmacy Seminar (JFPS).
At the exhibition hall at the seminar, key leaders like ImPACT Brand Lead Lea Drag met with dozens of seminar attendees, and discussed this print and digital publication, which aims to provide best practices, discussion forums, and the latest clinical news to help physicians, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in federal healthcare overcome medical and commercial challenges to deliver best-in-class care to our nation’s heroes and their families.
Colleen Hall, editorial director of this publication, took questions from seminar attendees about contributing to the publication, noting that submitted manuscripts must be original and must not have been published previously, either in print or in electronic form. She encouraged participants who are interested in contributing to contact her at
She added that it was truly an “honor to be at JFPS on Veterans Day, and be inspired by the speakers, invaluable insights, and a renewed passion for our work.”
Each issue of ImPACT is available online daily and in print monthly. Exclusive online daily content will include FDA news, educational offerings, and live coverage from major medical conferences. Additionally, ImPACT Federal Health will emphasize content related to oncology management, infectious disease updates, mental health treatment, and the latest women’s health research—conditions especially prominent for veterans.
Working in tandem with 2 of Amplity’s federal market strategy experts, retired Air Force Colonel David Bobb (pharmacist, attorney, and former Chief of Pharmacy Operations at the Defense Health Agency) and Jannet Carmichael (PharmD, and Former VISN 21 Pharmacy Executive and Data Warehouse Manager), as well as editorial board members like Jorge F. Carrillo, MD, FACOG, who is a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the College of Medicine at the University of Central Florida and Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery and Chronic Pelvic Pain Specialist, Division of Surgery, Gynecology Section, with the Orlando VA Healthcare System, this publication and accompanying website are Amplity’s flagship PACT-facing news resources.
