## Resource

On this special LIVE from HIMSS 2026 Gil is joined by two-time TEDx speaker Christina Madison, PharmD, FCCP, AAHIVP, the founder and CEO of The Public Health Pharmacist, for a candid, wide-ranging conversation about the profession's inflection point. From the chronic misdiagnosis of cardiovascular disease in women, to the existential threat posed by PBMs and automation, to the urgent fight for pharmacist provider status, Dr. Madison articulates a bold vision: community pharmacists aren't just pill dispensers, they are public health's most accessible, underutilized, and undercompensated front line.
