Send us Fan MailLeadership in healthcare simulation doesn't always come with a title or a roadmap. One day you're an educator or clinician, and the next day you're responsible for staffing, budgets, accreditation prep, outcomes, and the long list of “Can you also…?” requests that land on a simulation program. We sit down with two leaders who have lived that reality and built thriving programs anyway: Dawn Swiderski, Associate Vice President of Simulation Services at the Carolina Simulation Center at Atrium Health (now Advocate Health), and Cheryl Camacho, Director of Simulation and Outreach at Nationwide Children's Hospital.We dig into the shift from the SSH Directors Section to the Simulation Program Leadership Section and why that change is more than a rebrand. It's a move toward inclusion for people leading without the “director” label, whether you're new to simulation, stepping into management unexpectedly, or guiding a program through influence instead of authority. Dawn and Cheryl share how they listen to member feedback and turn it into practical support that actually matches what leaders need in the moment.You'll also get a clear tour of what's available through SimConnect: quarterly webinars, section meetings, and the highly popular couch conversations where members bring burning questions like simulation ROI, accreditation, costing models, policies, staffing allocation, and how to prove value with metrics and KPIs (including examples like Power BI). We talk about the underused SimConnect library filled with templates, forms, job descriptions, and recorded sessions that help you move faster, especially if you're tired of reinventing the wheel.If you lead any part of clinical simulation education, patient safety simulation, or simulation operations, this one is built for you.

Charlotte is growing fast, and a lot of that growth is being shaped by people who don't just build projects, they build communities. One of those leaders is Todd Collins, CEO and founder of Red Hill Ventures, a Charlotte-based real estate firm and investment platform focused on innovative, community-centered development. Under Todd's leadership, Red Hill Ventures has invested in and revitalized key properties across the region—from industrial parks to commercial spaces—while keeping an eye on long-term value, economic mobility, and the future of how people live and work. He's also deeply involved in Charlotte's civic and philanthropic circles, championing opportunity, diversity, and education alongside his wife, Janelle, and partners like Atrium Health. Today we're talking with Todd about how thoughtful real estate can shape a city, what he's seeing in Charlotte's market right now, and why purpose and profit don't have to be mutually exclusive. Todd, welcome to this episode of the award-winning BrandBuilders Podcast.

Drug companies often initiate good-faith inquiries of covered entities (CEs) to learn more about certain purchase patterns or volumes, but how should hospitals navigate these requests? Bibi Wishart, director of pharmacy at Atrium Health, describes what she's learned being on the receiving end of these inquiries.Why Do Good-Faith Inquiries Happen?Bibi says the recent rise in good-faith inquiries is tied in part to drug companies gaining access to more varied data sources and expressing a goal of ensuring the information they collect is in line with what they are expecting. She says a variety of different factors could trigger this type of inquiry, including new providers purchasing certain drugs, concerns about duplicate discounts, or confusion around whether a drug is being used in an inpatient or outpatient setting. Hospitals are very complicated, so responding to an inquiry often can be more about educating drug companies about how hospitals dispense drugs.How Should a Hospital Respond?If her hospital receives a communication from a drug company through its authorized official and primary contact, Bibi says she prefers to respond within one or two business days just to confirm she has received the inquiry. She says that while it may take several days or weeks to respond with the requested data, that initial response establishes a cooperative tone and ultimately might prevent escalation to a formal audit process. That also gives the 340B team time to pull in the correct departments and hospital data to provide a full response.Ways To Prevent the Need for InquiriesDue to the sheer complexity of dispensing drugs — including reconciling data feeds from third-party administrators, vendors, and electronic medical records — regular internal audits are one of the best ways to identify discrepancies before drugmakers launch inquiries about them. Bibi recommends using internal auditing to catch these issues and having clear procedures in place for how to resolve any potential errors.

Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles announces her resignation, the state Senate votes to pause property tax assessments for a year, Wake County delays a vote on the merger of Atrium Health with WakeMed, and the PGA is back in town.

State lawmakers, the Raleigh mayor, a group that represents state employees and the state’s elected attorney general, auditor and treasurer are among those weighing in on a takeover deal between two state hospital systems. Atrium Health is in position to take control of WakeMed. WRAL state government editor Jack Hagel looks at what the deal would mean, why some officials are sounding the alarm and what the future looks like as the deal is put on pause.

Send us Fan MailDr. Matthew Saxonhouse, neonatologist at Atrium Health, joins Ben to discuss two initiatives designed to fill the gaps that traditional conferences often leave behind. The first is Neonatal Insights, a biennial meeting returning January 29-31, 2027 in Houston — both in person and virtual — where controversial topics like the new hypoglycemia guidelines, cord blood transfusions, optimal caloric targets for growing infants, and wasteful NICU practices are presented from all sides with the explicit goal of reaching a working consensus. The second is Neonatal Insider, a monthly virtual series combining physiology and current evidence on hot topics, now opening its five-year archive to subscribers. He also reflects on why education that presents competing perspectives honestly is one of the most valuable things neonatology can offer its community.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome to Chatter with BNC, Business North Carolina's weekly podcast, serving up interviews with some of the Tar Heel State's most interesting people. On today's episode, Ben Kinney speaks with Adam Sperling, Executive Director of the Truist Championship, about the return of premier professional golf to Charlotte's iconic Quail Hollow Club, May 6-10. Adam shares his winding path into the golf world — from a college internship at the 2003 PGA Championship to stints at Pebble Beach, Las Vegas, and eventually Charlotte for the 2021 Presidents Cup — and why he fell in love with the region. He breaks down what's new for this year's tournament, including three reimagined fan zones, a partnership with Atrium Health offering free water and Stanley cups, first-ever public grandstand seating on the 17th green courtesy of Hendrick Auto, and a new wayfinding app powered by CPI Security. The two also dig into what makes Charlotte's corporate community so uniquely invested in events like this, the power of golf as a community gathering, and — naturally — their shared love of Goose, Bruce Springsteen, and whether playing music on the course is still controversial.

A Gaston County judge on Monday ordered that Joshua Hunsucker, a former paramedic from North Carolina, remain behind bars without bond after prosecutors described him as a danger to his children and in-laws. Hunsucker is accused of using tetrahydrozoline, a toxic chemical found in Visine eye drops, to murder his wife, 32-year-old Stacy Hunsucker, in 2018 and to poison their 10-year-old daughter in 2023. Prosecutors allege that Hunsucker attempted to implicate his wife's parents, John and Suzie Robinson, in both incidents. The Robinsons, who were present in court, had filed a motion in August requesting the revocation of Hunsucker's bond, citing concerns over alleged harassment and intimidation. They claim Hunsucker has been following them, harassing them, and attempting to remove them from their grandchildren's lives. Initially, the death of Stacy Hunsucker was attributed to natural causes due to reported heart issues. However, suspicions arose when it was revealed that her husband had requested no autopsy and a swift cremation. As an organ donor, tests on her organs and blood later detected the presence of tetrahydrozoline, leading to murder charges against Hunsucker in December 2019. He had been released on a $1.5 million bond at that time. In 2023, Hunsucker reported to the Mount Holly Police Department that John Robinson had attacked and kidnapped him. According to the police report, Hunsucker claimed he was pistol-whipped, zip-tied, and injected with an unknown substance. Authorities have found no evidence supporting these allegations. Prosecutors argue that Hunsucker fabricated the incident to frame the Robinsons and divert attention from his own actions. In addition to first-degree murder and insurance fraud charges related to his wife's death, Hunsucker now faces new charges connected to his daughter's alleged poisoning and the harassment of his in-laws. These include four counts of intimidation of a witness and four counts of obstruction of justice. While he was granted a $25,000 bond for these new charges, the judge noted that he would remain in custody due to the severity of the allegations and the revocation of his previous bond. "The poisoning of his daughter was once again done with an attempt to implicate Mr. and Mrs. Robinson in the death of his wife and remove the Robinsons from the lives of his daughters," the motion to revoke Hunsucker's bond stated. The Robinsons have expressed relief at the court's decision to keep Hunsucker detained, emphasizing their concerns for their safety and the well-being of their grandchildren. The case remains ongoing as prosecutors continue to build their case against Hunsucker.  AND! WHILE OUT ON BOND FOR HIS WIFE'S MURDER…. Hunsucker, charged with fatally poisoning his wife with eye drops in 2018, pleaded not guilty to felony arson on for allegedly setting a medical helicopter on fire. Joshua Hunsucker, accused of igniting a syringe pump mid-flight on November 26, 2019, forced the Atrium Health helicopter to make an emergency landing at a car dealership on Independence Boulevard in Charlotte. Hunsucker was charged with felony property damage to Atrium Health, posting bond shortly after his arrest. At the time, he was already out on bond awaiting trial for the alleged murder of his wife, Stacy Robinson Hunsucker. Just weeks after the helicopter incident, he was taken back into custody and formally charged with her murder. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
