BATAVIA Ill. , Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Dr. Ronald A. Murphy, local dentist from Batavia, IL joined many colleagues from all across the country during special Leadership conferences hosted by MGE: Management Experts, Inc. in Florida. The training session included topics to increase one's responsibility for the welfare of one's community. One of the guest speakers is a #1 Charting Artist, Jierra Clark, who is also a Human Rights advocate, and supports Written Informed Consent for our veterans amongst other Human Rights initiatives.
The meeting began with attendees treated with a presentation of the National Anthem that Jierra performed for the highest ranking female naval officer in history.
Then Jierra took the stage and gave them her background and what motivates her, not only in her singing career, but also in the importance stepping above and beyond to support causes that improve the quality of life for all.
The horrific statistics of veteran suicides and the ten years plus of unchanged veterans suicide deaths, were brought to light during this presentation. Jierra pointed out that the vast majority of veterans, not to mention everyday people, do not understand the side effects of these Black Box Warning Medications or that treatment options are available to them. This initiative coincides with an initiative in educating people via a short video which can be seen on her website: www.jierra.com
Written Informed Consent should improve their health outcomes and make it more likely for the veterans to be involved in their treatment plans. It was shocking to Dr. Murphy that our veterans don't typically have these opportunities to select their treatment modalities and increase their chances for improvement for a better life. This was also the consensus of his peers at the conferences. The need for Written Informed Consent was so obvious that they all stood shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure that this issue becomes a reality.
This initiative is supported by many top organizations such as the American Legion with their resolution in support of Written Informed Consent being approved by the National Executive Committee of the American Legion, May 10-11, 2023, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Resolution No. 18: Written Informed Consent as well as The VFW [Veterans of Foreign Wars]; The Association of the U.S. Navy; Military-Veteran Advocacy; Airforce Sergeants Association; Vietnam Veterans of America; Special Forces Association of America; Jewish War Veterans; as well as Reserve Organization of America.
Dr. Murphy pointed out and reminded his colleagues that it is up to us as health care professionals to demonstrate the leadership needed to improve the health and welfare of our communities. These veterans are willing to give all for us—so we can at least show our support for programs and causes that assist better healthcare for them.
