Nursing is a scientific discipline, a public health infrastructure, and a body of knowledge built at the intersection of biology, behavior, community, and systems. Nurses are in schools and boardrooms, in legislatures and laboratories, in emergency rooms and living rooms, at bedsides and borders. They are scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and the profession most consistently present at the places where health breaks down, and society falls short. And yet, according to decades of research on nursing's portrayal in media and public life, the public picture of nursing remains stubbornly narrow and stripped of the analytical authority that makes nursing expertise genuinely irreplaceable.  That gap is not a communications problem. It is a policy issue, a resource issue, and a patient safety concern. According to two replication studies of the landmark Woodhull Study on Nursing and the Media, nurses are cited as sources in just 2% of health news stories and nearly never in coverage of health policy. This means the perspective closest to the gaps in care, closest to what patients actually experience, and closest to workable solutions goes unheard. What is lost, as the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in their 2021 report on the future of nursing, is not just recognition. It is a way of seeing: the whole person within a family, a community, an environment, a system. A trained, scientific, evidence-based way of seeing that, as Buresh and Gordon argue in From Silence to Voice, no other profession replicates at scale.  In this episode, guest host Lisbeth Votruba, a third-generation nurse and Chief Clinical Officer at Avishur, talks with filmmakers, photographer Carolyn Jones, and producer Lisa Frank, the team behind the 2012 book and documentary series The American Nurse Project. Jones and Frank share what they discovered after more than a decade of interviewing and photographing nurses across every setting, from Appalachian home health to prison hospices to labor and delivery wards, and why it took two outsiders to help nurses articulate what they do and why it matters. They discuss how personal storytelling unlocks what statistics cannot, how nurse-led initiatives have measurably improved outcomes in maternal health and end-of-life care, and why telling the full, true story of nurses is essential to fixing the systems we all rely on.  For more information on resources, visit ANA's Innovation Website at: https://www.nursingworld.org/practice-policy/innovation/ Have questions or feedback for the SEE YOU NOW team?

If you have ever felt the ceiling in your practice — or lived the gap in pregnancy loss support yourself — The Missing Piece is a FREE 3-day masterclass where we name what traditional grief support has been missing and build the framework bereaved mothers actually deserve. Starts 1st June - Join HERE What does grief look like when there's no baby to mourn — but the losses keep coming anyway? In this episode, I sit down with Natasha D'Arcangelo, licensed mental health counsellor and Chief Clinical Officer at LB Health, to talk about a side of reproductive loss that rarely gets named: the cumulative grief of infertility. Natasha shares her own ten-year journey to motherhood — including two rounds of IVF, four fibroid removal surgeries, a hysterectomy at 35, a failed domestic adoption match, and an international adoption process that spanned a global pandemic. It's a story full of grief, resilience, plot twists, and hard-won wisdom. But this episode isn't just personal. Natasha brings her clinical lens to everything — and the result is a conversation that's equal parts raw and practical. In this episode we cover: Why infertility is a grief experience, even when there's never been a positive pregnancy test The shame spiral of feeling like your body "had one job" — and how therapy helped Natasha recognise and release that narrative What it's really like to match with a birth mother, prepare your home, and then have it fall through The layers of loss inside adoption journeys that people rarely talk about How to find the right therapist (and why it's okay — expected, even — to try more than one) Red flags to watch for in a therapeutic relationship Why the people around you, however well-meaning, often make it worse — and what actually helps The unexpected role her dog played in pulling her out of depression Connect with Natasha: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natasha-darcangelo/ www.natashalmhc.com If this episode resonated with you, you might also be interested in exploring what it means to process reproductive loss as trauma — not just grief. That's exactly what we explore inside the Pregnancy Loss Recovery Method™.

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna sits down with Brian Coon, Chief Clinical Officer at Pavilion, for a thoughtful conversation about identity, purpose, and redefining success on your own terms. Brian shares what it was like growing up overseas in Hong Kong before moving to rural Illinois as a teenager, how his early love of marine biology unexpectedly led him into psychology and addiction treatment, and why he has remained in the field for nearly four decades despite the high burnout rate in the profession.Together, Joanna and Brian explore the pressure many young adults face to follow a predetermined path, the value of learning through mistakes, and the importance of finding trusted mentors and allies outside the family system. Brian's perspective as both a clinician and storyteller offers a grounded, deeply human conversation about curiosity, growth, and building a life that reflects your own values instead of someone else's expectations. Brian's Resources:Pavilion Treatment CenterPavilion AdmissionsPavilion on FacebookConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail: joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #PavilionRecovery #TraumaInformedCare #PavilionTreatmentCenter #AddictionCounseling 

My friends, Jeff McLean (same-sex marriage, nationally known performer, vocal coach, author), Michael McLean (famous LDS songwriter, composer, playwright) and Jeff's friend Dr. Brad Reedy (Co-Founder and Chief Clinical Officer) join us to talk about their new book: “Stay in the Room: How a Gay Son and A Mormon Father Found Themselves and Each Other” In the podcast, they talk about how “Stay in the Room” tells the true story of a boy raised in Heber City, Utah, in the shadow of Mormonism and the rising AIDS crisis of the 1980s. The son of Michael McLean-Mormonism's answer to Billy Joel, Jeff sang his father's songs on stages nationwide. But behind the curtain, he struggled to reconcile his faith with his identity. After serving a Mormon mission, entering a brief marriage to his husband, and battling an addiction to crystal meth, Jeff finally found solid ground-and the courage to come home. But before healing could begin, he had to confront the two people he feared had lost him for good: his parents. Told through three voices, “Stay in the Room” is a moving, multi-perspective memoir. Jeff shares how he discovered a life where he could be fully himself and still feel the love of God. Michael recounts how the Spirit led him to stay present through his son's pain, refusing to let go. And therapist Dr. Brad Reedy offers powerful insight for families navigating the tension between faith, identity, and unconditional love. This is one of the best episodes we've ever recorded.. Please listen and share this episode and buy their book. Great insights on how to love and support people we love in our lives. Thank you Jeff, Michael, and Brad for being on the podcast.

Fear can keep someone alive and it can also keep them trapped. To explore this topic, we sit down with Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to unpack how abusers weaponize fear to establish power and control, ensure compliance, and cut off escape routes long before anyone sees a bruise.In this episode, we break down the real-world mechanics of coercive control: threats, monitoring, intimidation, isolation, social engineering, and the quiet ways an abusive partner interferes with a survivor's ability to function day to day. Ruth explains why fear can be present without physical violence, what hypervigilance can look like (constant check-ins, “proof” photos, changing hobbies, always scanning for mood shifts), and why the question “why didn't she leave?” ignores the fact that danger often escalates during and after leaving.We also revisit survival responses to danger: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, plus how abusers and even outsiders can misinterpret those responses in courtrooms, families, and communities. You will hear practical, compassionate next steps, including safety planning ideas for friends and family, and how to reach confidential support even if you are not ready to make a big decision.

Dr. Deb Dittberner, Chief Clinical Officer and Director of Population Health at Herself Health, focuses on providing value-based care for women aged 50 and older through a model that prioritizes cognition, bone health, behavioral health, and cardiac health. Conventional primary care for older women often overlooks the complexities of aging, which Herself Health addresses through longer visits, proactive screening, and patient education. Technology is being successfully integrated into the environment to provide virtual visits, support medication adherence, and improve access to care.  Deb explains, "We are focusing on women 50 +, specifically women 65-plus who are heading into that Medicare world and have more complex medical problems. We see a real need to focus on that group, where we can create team-based care and deliver population health, value-based care for those patients, with a greater focus on keeping them well. And lowering healthcare costs and doctor visits by focusing on wellness rather than fee-for-service or on illness and problems."   "I think that as we age, it becomes more complicated. And I think advanced primary care takes that into consideration. We do longer visits for these patients. We focus on keeping them well. And what we're trying to do is look at the whole picture. Aging people have more hypertension, more diabetes, more chronic medical conditions, and taking the time to help with all of those conditions together and look at the whole picture is what we're trying to do." #HerselfHealth #PrimaryCare #WomensHealth #ValueBasedCare #Geriatrics #HealthcareInnovation #PatientCenteredCare #MedicareAge #ClinicalLeadership #HealthEquity #AdvancedPrimaryCare #HealthTech #PopulationHealth herself-health.com Download the transcript here

There are hopes faster emergency care will ease pressure across the health system. In the three months to October, about 74% of ED patients were admitted, discharged, or transferred within six hours. That's up from about 72% a year earlier. Health New Zealand Chief Clinical Officer Richard Sullivan told Mike Hosking teams are working hard to manage patient flow, as EDs are handling up to 7% more patients than last year. He says they're working to strengthen primary care, but the pressure is coming from illness in an ageing population and outbreaks. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When food starts to feel tense, restrictive, or obsessive at home, it can send a parent into panic fast.In observation of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Erin Parks, Chief Clinical Officer at Equip Health, to talk about eating disorders and disordered eating in kids and teens—what the early signs look like, what's happening emotionally underneath, and how parents can respond without escalating shame or control struggles.Eating disorders affect an estimated 30 million Americans in their lifetime.

Can an algorithm truly care for a patient? As we move further into 2026, the healthcare industry is being flooded with AI tools promising to automate everything from charting to triage. But there's a massive problem: most of these tools are being built by engineers who have never spent a 12-hour shift on a med-surg floor. In this high-stakes conversation, Rebecca Love, RN, joins us to explain why the "Nursing Voice" is the most valuable asset in the 2026 tech landscape. We discuss the recent surge in ambient clinical scribes and the ethical "black boxes" of agentic AI—and why tech giants are destined to fail if they don't put nurses at the center of the development loop.

This episode of the CommQuest Hope Discovered podcast features a deeply personal conversation between Dr. Michele Heberling, Chief Clinical Officer at CommQuest, and board member Nicole Morrett. Together, they explore what it means to be “suddenly sidelined” by illness and physical limitations following the birth of Nicole's son. Nicole shares her journey and how those experiences disrupted her expectations of early motherhood, career, and independence. The discussion centers on the emotional toll of grieving the life she had envisioned and advocating for herself during an unexpected season of vulnerability.Throughout the podcast, Nicole reflects on how faith, gratitude, and community support helped her reframe this difficult season—not as a permanent loss, but as a time for growth, deeper connection, and intentional presence. She speaks candidly about learning to accept help, redefining strength, and finding joy in small, meaningful moments with her family.Dr. Heberling highlights the clinical and human importance of honoring grief, pacing oneself, and maintaining dignity and identity while healing. The episode ultimately offers hope and encouragement to listeners facing sudden diagnoses or life-altering changes, reminding them that while the pain is real, there is goodness to be found, support to be embraced, and hope both in the present moment and beyond.

Women comprise 75% of the healthcare workforce and make the majority of family healthcare decisions—yet hold only 20% of senior leadership positions. Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, sees this gap as more than unfair. At CVS Health, Dr. Amy oversees clinical strategy for 9,000 community access points with a clear mission: simplify healthcare and make the right thing the easy thing. "We've put things like electronic medical records, narrow insurance networks, and administrative rigmarole between patients and people who can help them," she explains. "How can we start taking layers out?" But she didn't reach this role by following the traditional playbook. She turned down her dream job because the timing wasn't right for her family. She went part-time during peak career years, trading off with her husband as their priorities shifted. And she's consistently been tapped on the shoulder for opportunities rather than raising her hand, which taught her that doing your current job exceptionally well matters more than constantly positioning for the next one. In this conversation, Dr. Amy explains why healthcare needs women's voices at the executive table for design thinking that actually works, how she and her husband negotiated dual careers through different life stages, why "performance gets you the podium" but authenticity and strategic thinking get you the C-suite, and what it takes to be heard when you're the only woman in leadership rooms. Whether you're balancing clinical practice with administrative responsibilities, navigating when to say yes and no to opportunities, or building toward senior healthcare leadership, this is uncommon honesty about the trade-offs and strategies that actually matter. Key Takeaways: Do your current job exceptionally well—performance gets you noticed before you ever raise your hand Design healthcare systems with women's voices at the table; they're both the workforce majority and primary family decision-makers Negotiate career trade-offs with your partner over time; one person doesn't have to sacrifice permanently Saying no to your dream job might be the smartest move you make—if they value you, they'll come back Taking layers out of complexity requires intentional design thinking, not just adding more solutions Figure out what's working and what's not, then adjust your strategy—sometimes you need to literally or metaphorically elevate yourself to be heard About the Guest: Dr. Amy Compton-Phillips is Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, where she leads clinical strategy across 9,000 community locations. She previously served as President and Chief Clinical Officer at Providence, a $25 billion health system with 52 hospitals and 120,000 caregivers, where she led the response to the first confirmed COVID-19 case in the United States. Earlier, she spent 22 years at Kaiser Permanente, rising from front-line internist to Chief Quality Officer. A CNN Medical Analyst and keynote speaker, she has served on boards including HIMSS, the Institute for Systems Biology, and Wellcare. She holds her bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and her medical degree from the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Mental Health Business Mentor podcast, we explore how compassion fatigue can quietly impact therapists—and why community is one of the most powerful antidotes. Our guest, Natasha D'Arcangelo, shares how isolation often deepens burnout, while intentional networking and peer connection can restore energy, perspective, and purpose. Natasha and Margo discuss how building supportive professional relationships not only benefits clinicians' well-being but also strengthens practice growth and sustainability. This conversation invites therapists to rethink networking as a form of care—for themselves, their practices, and the clients they serve. What You'll Learn:How compassion fatigue shows up for therapists and why it often goes unrecognizedThe role isolation plays in deepening burnout—and how community can help reverse itWhy networking isn't just about referrals, but also about emotional support and sustainabilityPractical ways therapists can build meaningful professional connections without feeling overwhelmedBio:Natasha is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the states of Florida, Idaho, Iowa and Washington, and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of Delaware, Oregon, South Carolina, and Virginia.

This episode of the Hope Discovered podcast explores the often-overlooked mental and emotional impact of being suddenly sidelined by injury or illness.CommQuest CEO, Elaine Russell Reolfi, shares her personal experience of recovering from a severe ankle injury and the unexpected psychological toll of immobility, loss of independence, and disrupted routines. Joined by Dr. Michelle Heberling, Chief Clinical Officer, and Osamuedemen D. Iyoha, M.D., Medical Director of Psychiatric Services, the conversation normalizes feelings such as frustration, grief, anxiety, and depression that frequently arise after sudden health changes. The clinicians explain common emotional phases people experience—from initial crisis and over-planning to exhaustion and grief—and emphasize that these reactions are typical, not signs of weakness.The discussion also focuses on how mental health directly affects physical healing and recovery. The panel offers practical guidance for patients and loved ones, including pacing oneself, setting realistic expectations, maintaining routines, using grounding and relaxation techniques, asking for help, and communicating honestly with healthcare providers. They stress the importance of self-compassion, support systems, and seeking professional mental health care when warning signs like withdrawal, hopelessness, or feeling like a burden emerge.This episode of the CommQuest Hope Discovered Podcast reassures listeners that healing is an active process, rest is productive, and caring for the mind is essential to caring for the body.

We open the new year by exposing myths that keep victims unheard and abusers protected: the “nice guy” persona, the anger excuse, the belief that leaving solves everything. With Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, we walk through the mindsets that drive coercive control and the covert tactics that slip past friends, families, courts, and even clinicians.In this episode, Ruth breaks down recognizable patterns and behaviors of abusive men. From the demand man and Mr. Right to the drill sergeant, the player, and the terrorist, she shows how entitlement fuels different strategies with the same outcome: fear, isolation, and control. We explore social engineering and how a polished public image becomes a weapon in custody disputes and community spaces. You'll also hear why anger management misses the point, how “high conflict” labels mask abuse, and what post‑separation abuse looks like when contact is enforced through parenting apps, daily calls, and court orders.We also get practical. Learn how financial control can hide behind “I'll handle the bills,” why the silent treatment harms more than shouting, how reckless driving is used to terrify, and how location sharing becomes surveillance. 

Episode 95 of Astonishing Healthcare features six previous guests on the show who share astonishing observations from 2025 and some bold predictions for the New Year! Industry veteran Jeffrey Hogan, our General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Lloyd Fiorini, ERISA law expert Nick Welle, two of our clinical leaders – Sarra Izadi, PharmD, Chief Clinical Officer, and Bonnie Hui-Callahan, PharmD, CDCES, Sr. Director, Clinical Programs, and our Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder, Ryan Kelly, joined us for this round-robin discussion that's packed with insightful reflections and optimism about the future. We won't ruin it in the show notes, but based on what we saw in 2025: Everyone has finally had enough of the costs and opacity of the U.S. healthcare system – a $70k family premium is truly astonishing It's surprising that, despite the lawsuits, warnings, and reform efforts, the proverbial hammer didn't drop on anyone for not being a good health plan fiduciary The speed and impact of AI have broadly been more positive than expected The rise of cardio-diabesity How GLP-1s helped shift the balance of power in the pharmaceutical supply chain And in 2026, we may see: Employers fight back – they take agency over their plans, and for first movers that started with transitioning to aligned PBMs, it's “game on” for the rest of their health plans The cash price – or acquisition cost – of drugs in the U.S. becomes the baseline – i.e., we finally see a real change in how drugs are priced ICHRAs and other alternative models become more popular Employers look to new clinical programs and models that demonstrate a return on their spending AI become more important for clinical workflows (not decision-making, at least not yet) Pharmaceutical manufacturers find themselves with increasing bargaining power vs. traditional PBMs A new Stanley Cup champion, and a Super Bowl ring for… Related Content Judi Health Policy Pulse: 2025 Regulatory Roundup, the Push for PBM Reform Replay - Unifying Medical and Pharmacy Benefits: The Blueprint for Better Employee Health and Wellness AH094 - How Unified Claims Processing Evolved from Pharmacy: Improving Member Care & Operating Efficiency Health Benefits 101: The Importance of Clinical Programs How to obtain Rx data and what to do with it For more information about Capital Rx and this episode, please visit Judi Health - Insights.

Episode summaryAfter losing her home, savings, and a 34-year marriage, pharmacist and integrative medicine leader Dr. Lisa Nezneski chose a different path: put herself first, grieve fully, and cultivate joy deliberately. In this candid conversation, we trace the arc from rupture to renewal—restorative yoga twice a week, twice-daily meditation, beach “walking meditations,” and the seven mindful questions that helped her rewire patterns. We also talk relationships after loss, somatic signs of awe, and how to make the “next right step” when you don't know what's next. This is a clear-eyed look at resilience, seen through yoga's lens of abhyāsa (steadfast practice) and vairāgya (non-attachment): effort rooted in discernment, without clinging to outcomes.Dr. Lisa Nezneski — Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher; board-certified pharmacotherapist; Reiki Master; poet and author of Grounded in Chaos: Leaning into Adversity, Learning Joy (2020; updated edition forthcoming). Former clinical pharmacist and hospital administrator; taught at Duquesne University; past Chief Clinical Officer at Schatz Clinical Services; founder of Healthy Mindful Self. Website: lisanezneski.comKey takeawaysChoose self-priority without apology. Midlife caretakers often land last on their own list; reclaiming agency is the hinge of recovery.Practice over prediction. Twice-daily meditation + consistent restorative yoga created the conditions for healing—abhyāsa in action.Non-attachment reduces reactivity. “This is this day.” Meet what is, breathe three times, then respond—classic vairāgya.Somatic joy is real data. Tingling, goosebumps, softening—felt sense can signal alignment more reliably than analysis.The “next right step” is enough. Use simple inner tests (Lisa's “speedometer” method) and adjust course—no catastrophizing.Relational healing is possible. Mutuality, gratitude, and playfulness can re-pattern partnership after grief.Hands calm the nervous system. Repetitive handcrafts (e.g., finger-crochet) function like mudrā/nyāsa—bottom-up regulation.ResourcesDr. Lisa Nezneski — lisanezneski.comBook — Grounded in Chaos: Leaning into Adversity, Learning Joy (1st ed., 2020; updated edition forthcoming)Listener reflection (journal prompts)Where in my week do I practice abhyāsa without clinging to a result?What does my body feel like when a choice is a genuine “yes”?What micro-ritual will I use as my three-breath reset cue?Call to actionIf this episode helped you locate a little joy inside the storm, share it with one person who needs a steady hand.

Hey Friends~   What if mouth breathing isn't just a habit… but a symptom? In today's episode, I'm joined by a guest who revealed something I hadn't fully understood in all my years in this field: crooked teeth, small jaws, restless behavior, trouble with focus, even lingering speech sound errors can ALL be connected to how well a child is BREATHING. You'll hear how an under-developed airway affects far more than speech and behavior. When a child is mouth breathing, they don't get  the deep, restorative sleep their growing brain desperately needs. And deep sleep and proper oxygenation, everything from attention to learning can suffer. And make sure you listen through to the end, as we have something special for you!!

If you've ever been told to "just deal with it" after a breast cancer diagnosis… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Today I'm joined by Dr. Mindy Goldman, Chief Clinical Officer at Midi Health, internationally recognized menopause expert, and one of the leading voices on survivorship and women's midlife health. She's spent decades helping breast cancer survivors navigate the side effects no one prepares you for — from painful sex and vaginal dryness to surgical menopause, HRT questions, weight changes, and the emotional toll of treatment. We dive into: Vaginal estrogen after breast cancer — what's safe, what isn't, and what women aren't being told HRT and cancer risk — the nuance every survivor should understand Why so many women suffer in silence — and what your doctors may be overlooking The truth about surgical menopause, sexual health, mood changes, and long-term side effects What survivorship should look like when care centers the whole person Dr. Goldman's message is clear and empowering: You do not have to accept suffering as your new normal. There are solutions for nearly every side effect — you just need the right guidance. This conversation will leave you feeling informed, validated, and supported. Every woman deserves this information.
