Who is David Dalton? See the DD below I think u will be quite impressed as I am !wink

First here is a more recent pic with his wife and I wont post where I found it haha!




Ok now onto some info and links just cuz it's not on OTCMARKETS(yet)doesnt mean there is not major work behind the scenes!


A June 2017 report, “Enhancing Today’s STEM Workforce to Ensure Tomorrow’s New Medicines,”says more than half of America’s pharmaceutical executives are struggling to find talent.

The U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that total pharmacist employment will grow by 3% by 2024.

“As we look to the future, our nation’s innovative biopharmaceutical companies are committed to partnering with schools of all levels across the country to develop the next generation of scientists, engineers, and technicians who are critical to advancing new treatments and cures,” said Dr. Anne Pritchett, vice president, policy, and research, at the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

“Continued support of STEM-based initiatives and educational opportunities will make it possible for America to continue to grow the economy – an economy that today includes 4.5 million jobs supported by the biopharmaceutical industry,” she said.

That is why Dr. David Dalton, an award-winning pharmacist, and biopharmaceutical entrepreneur is setting up a  system for underserved students to complete the federal aid application for financing college.

He believes it is important for students to learn about how to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, how aid is calculated, and how to stay eligible for Aid.

Dr. Dalton lectures at several schools of pharmacy throughout the United States. He is past president of the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy Presidential Committee.

A few years ago, the University of West Virginia recognized him as a “Distinguished Alumni,” and honored him as an “Outstanding Alumni of West Virginia School of Pharmacy” in recognition of his outstanding service to the School of Pharmacy of West Virginia University.

Opportunities in the pharmacy industry

The pharmacy profession has changed a lot since Dr. Dalton took an entry-level position as an intern healthcare professional at Rite Aid Corporation.

When he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy from West Virginia University in 1971, the U.S. Congress had just passed the National Cancer Act. The new law unleashed an escalation in research efforts to conquer cancer.

Since then, the pharmaceutical industry has made investments in technology and biopharmaceuticals for the future discovery and development of medicines that improve health and quality of life.

Advances have led to new medicines and treatments for cancer and many other conditions including, asthma, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, lupus, and Alzheimer.

As a pharmacist in the early 70s, Dr. Dalton enhanced patient care by prescription fulfillment and consultation, with very few technology and insurance payments.

“The role of the pharmacist has moved towards being a clinical provider, supported by technology; providing new medications, including high tech biological product and radio-pharmaceuticals and vaccines, and earning over six figures,” he said.

Among other things, today’s pharmacists are “providing more access to the underserved, giving doctors and nurses and other healthcare provider’s advice on medication therapy decisions, immunizations and managing diabetes,” he added.

Telehealth-technologies that deliver virtual medical, health and education services anywhere you are also in the mix.

Career Tips

Dr. Dalton’s interest in pharmacy sparked early because Pharmacy was a profession that included business, science, research, and innovation.

By 1972, he had served as a district pharmacy supervisor and then as a divisional pharmacy manager. Two years later, he had earned his doctorate in pharmacy in Maryland.

“The pharmacist that comes out today is more educated than the pharmacist coming out of college in the 1970’s,” Dr. Dalton said. “So it’s essential for young people coming out of high school to see how valuable their STEM programs are for this new arena,” he said.

Whether it’s practicing as a retail pharmacist, clinical pharmacist, hospital staff pharmacist, academic pharmacist, pharmaceutical industry research pharmacist, or whatever area young people choose to practice, Dr. Dalton says it’s important to:

Keep current with changes in your career.

Become more knowledgeable outside of your zone, like technology and financial management.

Maintain your competitiveness and go for it.

Make sure your path is supporting your interest and lifestyle.

 

By mid-career, Dr. Dalton was not only playing a role in helping people get the best results from their medications, he was involved in training medication specialists on healthcare teams, and liaising with colleges of pharmacy, which are centers of academic excellence, scientific research, and innovation.

During the 1980’s, he held a series of corporate positions in professional placement and professional relations at Rite Aid. He moved rapidly up the career ladder from assistant vice president to vice president, senior vice president, and executive vice president, placing him front and center of patient care, scientific research, and innovation.

Acquisitions and Mergers

In 1989, he left Rite Aid to acquire Peoples Drug Stores with an investment group including Robert Bass of Texas.
Look him up Texas Billionaire and bet they are still working together!wink
Dr. Dalton served briefly as a senior vice president at Peoples Drug Stores, before acquiring the Sherman Management Group, one of the first worker compensation pharmacy benefit management companies in the United States, and the Medical Service Agency, where he served as chairman, president, and CEO.

In November 1994, he merged Sherman Management and Medical Services into MEDNET, a public company listed on NASDAQ. Dr. Dalton served as executive vice president of MEDNET and president of Medi-Claim, a wholly owned subsidiary of MEDNET.

His next venture, Managed Care Rx, a specialty pharmaceutical provider for assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and prisons, was merged with a subsidiary of Bergen Brunswick, a drug wholesale company with sales in excess of $14 Billion.
Multiple mergers with BIG CORPS hmmmmm UNIVEC next?wink

Technology and Medical care

Later, Dr. Dalton launched Health Resources, Inc. as founding president and CEO.

Health Resources the first African American pharmaceutical company in the United States and it is also a national discount pharmacy benefit management company that has contracted with more than 50,000 retail pharmacies for the fulfillment of prescription orders. Black Enterprisemagazine has recognized Health Resources in top 100 lists for over 25 years.

Dr. Dalton is also president and CEO of Univec Inc., which manufactures and distributes specialty pharmaceuticals to hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, and clinics. Physician and Pharmaceutical Services Inc. is the pharmacy sample services division of Univec that provides prescription “starter-script” samples programs for physicians to give to their patients. Among his many responsibilities, Dr. Dalton serves as the chairman of Wellness Healthcare Inc., a telehealth, and wellness company.[/color]All separate for now but I think that changes soon!wink

Secrets to success

“If you’re following your passion, building on what you know and use technology to enhance your position in business then you will be a disruptor to the usual and customary. Things constantly change” he said. “That’s worked for me.”

Failure is par for the course, he added.

“You have to learn how to balance your businesses, career and family,” he observed. “The key to a lot of things in business is based on new technology. Stay ahead of it.

“Pharmacists will depend on technology more to be able do telehealth, and the medical environment will be dependent on technology for electronic medical records and services.


“I’m excited about the new technology coming along, which will make the healthcare system more cost effective,” he said.

Rainmaker and Policymaker

One of the original members and directors of the National Council for Prescription Drug Programs, Dr. Dalton is responsible for the standards that pharmacies use across the United States to transmit prescriptions.It says he set the pharmacy standards nationwide which is HUGE!

He has served as a board member for organizations such as the Blue Shield of Pennsylvania, United Way, and National Association of Chain Drug Stores, University of Maryland Bio-park and Hospital boards and founder of the National Minority Health Association.

In recognition of his public service, Dr. Dalton has received a Medal of Freedom, the highest honor given by the United States Senate, and an award from the National Black Caucus of State Legislators.

The Black CEO Hall Of Fame inducted Dr. Dalton in 2006 and his hometown in Grafton, West Virginia, where Mother’s Day began, has honored him. He was inducted into the Taylor County School’s Hall of Fame in 2013 and inducted into West Virginia School of Pharmacy Centennial Hall of Fame 2014

The next step

Dr. Dalton’s next steps are to provide:

Provide telehealth and Mental Health and Substance Abuse services;

Continue to help break down barriers and support economic pathways by providing knowledge about entrepreneurial success and creating wealth.
