This episode is one that is near and dear to my heart. The story behind Kevin's Law starts in my home county in Ohio, where Kevin Houdeshell tragically lost his life because there were laws that prohibited pharmacists from being able to dispense a life saving medication, in this case insulin.
My guest today is Dan Houdeshell, also known as Kevin's father. Dan has been a great patient advocate who has helped get Kevin's Law passed in numerous states. If this law isn't in your state, please reach out to Dan or myself for more information so we can help you get it in your state. Laws like this are vital until pharmacists get provider status, and in some cases even with that in place. Please see the reference links below for some more information.
