The theme of The SPARK May 2020 is “Looking Out for Public Health.” Jeremy C. Park interviews Mike Larrivee of Compost Fairy, an organization helping to make Memphis a more sustainable community through the power of composting; Dr. Jerry W. Jones, Jr. of UT Health Science Center & Regional One Health, a doctor whose team uses a localized approach for pain treatment with trauma situations, in order to reduce suffering and exposure to opioids; and Mason Kauffman of US Biologic, a Memphis-based company delivering disease prevention by providing orally delivered vaccines to address the world’s great health challenges.
Plus, a profile of American Cancer Society volunteer Edgar Cruz from the most recent SPARK Awards.
