Episode 2236 notes Macaela and Rebecca bring us their strategy and share with me their community initiatives in Kansas City: For example, Macaela tells how working with over 200 nonprofits in Kansas City and passionately supports them including some of our veterans annually with a group from Blue KC to help out with the tiny houses over at Veterans Community Project. We also supply funds to them to make sure that they can continue to thrive. Then there's Cornerstones of Care and its vocational program, Build Trybe, Kansas City Community Gardens and the Giving Grove to work with students at DeLaSalle Education Center in transforming an empty field next to the school into a new Learning Farm that will positively impact hundreds of young adults in surrounding neighborhoods. Rebecca reminds me when you look at Kansas City, about 1 in 7 adults don't know where their next meal is coming from, and we know one of the greatest inputs to chronic disease and the things that drive up health care costs are the foods. So if you're eating fast food and you're not eating healthy, you're likely to develop hypertension. You're likely to develop diabetes. It's all connected. You can't you can't unconnect it. and it's impacting every part of these people's lives. For me, I find what there two are doing is impactful and it’s making a difference. In this show I hope to educated you and inform you about what this company, Blue KC does be part of Kansas City. This is season 22 episode 36 of America’s Healthcare Advocate.

Episode 2230 notes The focus of this shows is on rural health . There is a crisis in this country, in rural communities trying to keep their hospitals open, not being swallowed up by the giant conglomerate hospital systems and being able to run their hospitals and make enough profit to keep the doors open and serve their community. It's a tricky issue. It's difficult for them. And that's why we started doing these shows because we are on an enormous number of rural stations around the country, and we think this is an important issue. Luckily, today we have Pam Stewart in studio. She is the CEO of Washington County Regional Medical Center , a 56 bed hospital with a 60 bed nursing home serving patients since 1961 that is located in a "landlocked" county, meaning it is surrounded by counties with no hospital. See how rural Washington County hospital in Sandersville, Georgia comes back from the brink of closing and hear their recovery story after partnering with Aletheia Health Partners . In fact, once on the brink of closlin, now lists on the Chartis 2026 Top 100 Rural Hospitals Our guests tell it firsthand: Pam Stewart is the CEO at Washington County Regional Medical Center, and Abby Summers from Aletheia Health Partners is my returning guest. You’ve heard the term “urban food desert” which are city neighborhoods where residents lack easy access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food? Well, this is the same thing for rural families and small cities across the USA. This is a fantastic hospital turnaround story! This is season 22 episode 30 of America’s Healthcare Advocate.
