SUMMARY: Dr. Jeremy Blanchard, North Mississippi Health Services’ chief medical officer, discussed the partnership with On Demand Pharmaceuticals to bring personalized medication compounding to the community. This unique technology allows for the production of generic medications locally, reducing dependency on foreign sources like China, India, and Israel. The initiative aims to address drug shortages and improve access to high-quality medications. North Mississippi Health Services became the world’s first beta test site, delivering its first medication in December. The partnership is expected to expand nationwide in the coming years, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution to medication distribution challenges.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Francine’s passage through the Pine Belt elicited mixed feelings among local farmers. Pearl River County faced more impacts than others, receiving tropical storm-force winds and heavy rainfall of 6 to 8 inches. While strong winds damaged some corn crops, the severity of the impact varied based on corn variety and planting location. Despite these challenges, some farmers found benefits for their soybean crops, calling the rainfall a “drought buster.” The moisture also led to a surge in grasshopper populations, affecting soybean plants. Overall, the storm’s effects highlighted the complex relationship between weather and agriculture.
