Honoree
Michael J. Sohmer
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.
