Appointed to the attorney general’s statewide opioid partnership and the American Society of Health System Pharmacists’ council on public policy, Dr. Porath drives innovation within Nevada and nationwide. Board member for the state board of pharmacy and a commissioner on the Nevada State Patient Protection Commission, he helped pass collaborative drug therapy management legislation and expand the pharmacy practice act. At Renown Health, Nevada’s only integrated academic health system, his team of board-certified pharmacists and pharmacy technicians manage medications across three outpatient retail pharmacies, specialty and mail order pharmacies, three in-patient pharmacies and ambulatory pharmacotherapy programs. Board certified in pharmacotherapy and ambulatory care, he is a certified pharmacy executive leader, fellow of American Society of Health System Pharmacists, associate professor of clinical pharmacology at University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, and adjunct clinical faculty for several colleges of pharmacy. Weeks after the only area 24/7 pharmacy closed, Renown Pharmacy stepped up to expand hours, allowing public and hospital patients to fill their prescriptions all hours and around the clock.
