NCMS Introduces Public Rounds with Inaugural Guest, Dr. Kerianne Crockett
The North Carolina Medical Society is ending Women’s History Month with something new, Public Rounds!
Public Rounds is a spin-off of our very popular daily newsletter, Morning Rounds. We will be bringing special guests to you monthly that highlight NCMS members, government officials, and people who are working to make North Carolina healthier.
This inaugural edition features Dr. Kerianne Crockett, who helped push through legislation to make the birthing process better and less traumatic for women in the state’s penal system. Dr. Crockett has insight into the legislative process, women’s health issues, and what it is like to work as an OB/GYN. She also has some great book recommendations!
We hope you enjoy this inaugural edition of Public Rounds!
Foundation Friday
Today, the NCMS Foundation recognizes donors who have joined us on the journey to help make health and well-being attainable for all North Carolinians. These individuals are contributing to make sure clinicians are where they are needed most and that clinician leaders are lighting the way.
Thank you for your continued support to help North Carolinians lead healthier lives.

FDA Approves Narcan for Over-the-Counter Sales
Narcan, a prescription nasal spray that reverses opioid overdoses, can now be sold over the counter, the Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday, authorizing a move long-sought by public health officials and treatment experts, who hope wider availability of the medicine will reduce the nation’s alarmingly high drug fatality rates.
By late summer, over-the-counter Narcan, could be for sale in big-box chains, vending machines, supermarkets, convenience stores, gas stations and even online retailers.
