Registered dietitian Ava Safir and physician advocate Kim Downey discuss their article, "Why patients need a registered dietitian on their health care team." They highlight the often-overlooked yet crucial role registered dietitians play in improving patient health outcomes and supporting physicians. Drawing from personal experiences and professional insights, Ava and Kim explain how dietitians offer specialized, in-depth nutritional counseling that goes beyond the scope of typical medical appointments, addressing everything from chronic conditions to overall well-being. The conversation emphasizes the comprehensive approach of dietitians, who dedicate significant time to understanding patients' lifestyles, food psychology, and specific needs, thereby fostering sustainable dietary changes and myth-busting misinformation. They argue that integrating registered dietitians more actively into health care teams can lead to reduced medication reliance, better management of conditions like pre-diabetes and GI issues, and enhanced patient empowerment. The key takeaway is: Patients and health care providers alike should recognize registered dietitians as essential team members whose expertise in medical nutrition therapy can be a game-changer for achieving long-term health and quality of life.

It's about coordinating, delegating, and supervising care." – Laura Howe "Hope becomes hopelessness if you don't know the way and don't have a pathway out." – Laura Howe "We took $9,000 saved for a church building and invested it back into our community during COVID, and God blessed us with a building shortly after." – Tina Drysdale "By creating different entry points for volunteers with varying capacities, you allow care to flow both ways—blessing both the giver and the receiver." – Laura Howe Resources Care Ministry Podcast, Episode 93 https://www.centreofhopevictory.com/ Connect with Hope Made Strong Website: HopeMadeStrong.org Socials: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube

Through lived experience, the founder of Mama Bird, Birdie Johnson, came to understand the importance of having complete support and information to make decisions for the best possible outcomes.  Knowing that this support and information is often missing, she made it her mission to be sure that others would have a better birth and postpartum experience than she had. Because knowledge is power, she set out to make the childbearing year better for those in her community.   Today's podcast includes the history of Mama Bird Doula Services as we visit with Felicia Hawkins, Director of Doula Program, and Emma Lemke, Director of Communications and Outreach.  Felicia is a seasoned healthcare professional and dedicated advocate for expectant mothers and Mama Bird's Doula Mentor. With 24 years of dynamic patient/client care, a doula certification, and robust nursing expertise, Felicia brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the organization. Her alignment with Mama Bird's mission of empowering BIPOC pregnant individuals for better birth outcomes further amplifies her impact as Mama Bird's Doula Mentor.  Emma is a dedicated professional with a background in program management and volunteer coordination, driven by her fervent commitment to reproductive justice. Her unwavering commitment to reproductive justice, bodily autonomy, queer and trans liberation, and anti-racism is evident and aligns with Mama Bird's mission of increasing visibility for families of color.     Listen and Learn:   What gap was seen in maternity care for first black and then all people of color that Mama Bird aims to close   Who qualifies for the services Mama Bird Doula Services offers  What challenges or barriers do Mama Bird's clients face  How the doulas who work with Mama Bird are trained  What the “Care-Team” model is   Who funds the work that the organization does  What makes Mama Bird's services different from other organizations  How listeners can create a program similar to Mama Bird in their own area    Resources & Mentions:  Mama Bird Doula Services    InJoy Products:  Understanding Pregnancy Curriculum Understanding Birth Curriculum Understanding Breastfeeding Curriculum Understanding Your Newborn Curriculum

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell announced Wednesday the city will be hiring 18 additional behavioral health responders after securing nearly $2 million in federal funding. The new responders will be part of the Community Assisted Response Engagement (CARE) department, which started in October. CARE was implemented to “diversify emergency response, help people in need receive appropriate assistance and ensure the highest priority incidents receive critical police and fire services,” as stated by the mayor's office. CARE responders are sent out after a 911 call taker determines one would be appropriate for the situation. Examples are welfare checks and calls that don't require law enforcement, such as nonviolent, nonemergency and nonmedical calls. The CARE team also assists officers who have called for backup but only after any violence has been subdued. “Our West Precinct officers have formed strong partnerships with CARE and often call for their assistance, even when not initially co-dispatched,” Seattle Interim Chief of Police Sue Rahr stated in a press release. “We share mutual respect and look forward to expanded opportunities to collaborate. Particularly with our current staffing crisis, officers appreciate the CARE Team and the assistance they provide.”

On today's episode, Katie had the privilege of speaking with Annie Gunning, a Certified Child Life Specialist and Grief Counselor, and Haley Thomas, a Licensed Master Social Worker, on their collaborative efforts to support families at Hope for HIE. Annie and Haley tailor their support to each family's unique needs, dedicating time to assess and implement the most effective strategies. Under the visionary leadership of Betsy Pilon, Executive Director of Hope for HIE, Annie and Haley are setting new standards in providing exceptional support to the families they serve.    Key Takeaways   It's important to meet families where they are.    Finding ways to help prepare children for procedures with items you have at home empowers children and their families.    Supporting the non-patient can be very impactful to families, this includes the siblings and parents.    Loss and Bereavement support is crucial to families. Grief is not linear and the community as a whole can be affected by a loss. Annie and Haley support these families through monthly support groups.    Collaborative support from one another professionally can create strong partnerships with the best interest of the family and child at heart.   When seeking help in a hospital setting, reach out to the person who makes you feel most comfortable. If they cannot provide the specific support you need, they will know who can and will direct you to the right resource.  Learn more about Hope for HIE here.    Parent Stories Matter If you enjoyed this episode, we encourage you to listen to more CLOC episodes where we highlight the experiences of parents navigating the healthcare system.

Identifying and addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH) influences health outcomes and can positively impact health equity in our society.  While health systems in the US are screening for SDOH more often, information on how to improve screening efficiency and effectiveness is lacking. A recently published study was designed to determine what patient and clinician factors are associated with early implementation of SDOH screening in primary care. Guest Author: Sharmon P.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caregiving for a loved one with dementia? Many caregivers navigate this journey alone for far too long, unaware of the immense relief that building a home care team can bring.    This episode features Mike George from Soaring Families (https://www.soaringfamilies.com/), where the discussion revolves around designing a home care team for family caregivers of individuals living with dementia. The focus is on relieving caregiver burden and ensuring endurance for the caregiving journey. Mike shares his personal experience as a family caregiver and emphasizes the importance of building a support team to share the load effectively.     We also talk about the challenges faced by family caregivers, particularly in starting the caregiving journey without a structured support system in place. Mike highlights the need for family caregivers to recognize the benefits of creating a care team early on to prevent burnout and stress. The importance of setting up the right environment in the home for caregivers is also discussed, including establishing boundaries and privacy considerations.     The message is clear: don't wait until you're overwhelmed to build your home care team. By starting early, focusing on trust, and customizing your approach, you can create a supportive circle that not only makes caregiving manageable but also enhances the quality of life for both you and your loved one. Reach out, explore your options, and take that first step towards a more supported caregiving journey today.     Enjoy our podcast?
