Honored by Dr. Irving and Sara Kay Jacoby, San Diego, California, November 30, 2005
I would like to recognize Michael Sohmer. He is a pharmacist at Sharp HealthCare. He has contributed to disaster preparedness of the entire County of San Diego by forming a Pharmacist Emergency Response Team for the County of San Diego Dept. of Health and Human Services, and organized the training of over 100 local pharmacists to be able to respond if needed to assist in distribution of prophylactic medications or smallpox vaccinations in the event of a natural or bioterrorism-related event. He is also the Chief Pharmacist of DMAT San Diego CA-4, a non-profit, public benefit Disaster Medical Assistance Team co-sponsored by UCSD Medical Center and International Relief Teams. He recently deployed as part of our disaster team response to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Triage and Treatment Site following Hurricane Katrina and the Lake Pontchartrain Levee Break, and was part of the pharmacy that served the pharmacy needs of over 2,700 patients and evacuees with medication needs during the 10-day deployment. His involvement as a volunteer in the welfare of fellow San Diegans and fellow Americans merits his recognition.
