As blue states try to shore up access to abortion and reproductive care, some are facing a threat they didn't see coming: Catholic health care mergers. In the first segment, Reveal's Nina Martin takes us to New Mexico, a blue state that's been working hard since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade to strengthen its already sweeping protections for many forms of reproductive care. But those guarantees have been threatened by a local merger between Gerald Champion Regional Medical Center, the only hospital in rural Otero County, and a Catholic health care system out of Texas, CHRISTUS Health. Like all Catholic hospitals, the newly merged hospital will be subject to the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services, written by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Known as ERDs, they limit or ban a number of reproductive services, including birth control, sterilization, abortion and gender-affirming care. Where will people go if they can't get the care they need? The next closest hospital is an hour away. In the next segment, Martin travels to Alamogordo, where Gerald Champion is located, to try to find out how things are changing. Then she widens her lens, talking to a leading researcher on Catholic health care to see how ERDs play out in other hospitals around the country. She closes by talking to two Catholic experts about what ERDs require and how to improve transparency for patients. In the final segment, Reveal's Laura C. Morel follows the story of Kelly Flynn, an abortion provider who has clinics in Florida and North Carolina, two states that had been abortion havens for women around the South before Roe fell. But now, lawmakers in North Carolina have imposed a 12-week ban on abortions, and the Florida Supreme Court is weighing a six-week ban. So Flynn has spent the last few months preparing for access to keep shrinking by quietly opening a new clinic in a state that still has relatively strong abortion protections – Virginia.

Today Jenny welcomes Jeff Stewart, VP of Strategic Marketing at CHRISTUS Health. Jeff discusses CHRISTUS Health's strategic journey to grow brand equity through streamlining each of CHRISTUS Health's twelve distinct health systems under one united strategic vision.   Jeff offers advice for striking the right balance between consolidating marketing initiatives and finding the right partners who perform specific functions really well, as there is no single agency that can do it all really well, each has its own strengths and weaknesses.   Finally, Jeff shares his advice for marketing leaders who are tasked with consolidating teams, agencies, and initiatives. Jeff shares a “both and” strategic approach to marketing that enables CHRISTUS Health to drive a unified brand message at a large scale, while also offering unique, localized selling points for each health system within CHRISTUS Health.

Is the marketing funnel dead? That question started bouncing around among those at Jarrard Inc. who have backgrounds and specialize in healthcare marketing. It's a provocative question, and provocative questions lead to sharp conversations that make for good podcasts. So, we asked two of those experienced healthcare marketers to have that conversation on the record. Pattie Cuen served at UCLA for two decades. There, she established the medical center's first internal communications team and orchestrated an award-winning branding campaign for the system. More recently, Cuen held a high-level position at Cedars-Sinai. Abby McNeil is a vice president at the firm and deputy lead of our Regional Practice. McNeil has served in a number of prominent roles, including vice president of communications and public affairs for CHRISTUS Health, where she sat at the helm of all corporate communications and helped guide the organization through COVID. Key Insights: The marketing funnel isn't dead. But it's not really the most accurate model, either. It serves a useful, mostly two-dimensional purpose to get a snapshot of how consumers move from awareness to conversion. It's also helpful as a relatively simple tool to present marketing concepts and different levels of messaging to people outside the field. The funnel doesn't take into account the time involved as people move from one stage to the next. That time could be five minutes for a digital engagement or weeks/months for an out-of-home campaign like a billboard. Another way to think about the customer journey is as an elliptical. Once someone converts and makes a purchase – or, in healthcare, becomes a patient – the selling process starts all over, and the patient has to choose you all over again. And again. And again. It's not one-and-done. Meanwhile, each person is sitting in the funnel – or spinning on the elliptical – of other providers, making it a multi-dimensional environment for conversion and retention. Because of that elliptical process, the patient experience has to be dialed in right alongside the marketing messages and platforms. If someone buys but can't schedule a followup appointment for weeks, they'll go somewhere else regardless of how great your marketing campaigns are.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Driving transformation in any organization is a journey, even an uphill battle. Driving transformation in an industry absolutely begging for disruption is uniquely challenging. Healthcare is one of those industries -- HR is constantly challenged with talent shortages, workforce burnout, demands for improved well-being and workforce experience, lagging innovation, and evolving measures of success for consumer satisfaction and patient delivery outcomes. Designing an effective, inspiring, caring workforce experience matters a LOT in healthcare. That's the job of Tobias Washington at CHRISTUS Health, and he shared his story and their organization's journey on this episode of the Now of Work Digital Meetup. Tobias is the System Director of Digital Employee Experience & Digital HR Transformation at CHRISTUS Health. He is an amazing leader working in the healthcare space, that is truly transforming how HR and work is done. 

Unlocking new patient acquisition required rearchitecting the CHRISTUS Health website to meet the needs of the consumer and overcoming years of internally focused content. This session shares how a multi-hospital system built a consumer-focused website and shifted the significant burden of organizational complexity rightward and created streamlined patient access pathways. More importantly, it focuses on strategies to overcome a sustained onslaught of negative physician and administration feedback and vigorously defend a consumer-focused content strategy.

Follow our show wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/JoH0AMKR   Christus Health is a faith-based, not-for-profit, 60-hospital system across four states and three countries. They have developed a successful corporate wellness program called the Honeycomb Project that aims to address the unique needs of physicians to combat burnout and nurture their overall well-being. To talk more about this interesting program is this week's guest, Marisa Emmons MD. She is the Vice President of Physician Integration and Shared Services at Christus Trinity Clinic. Dr. Emmons discusses the variety of initiatives that the clinic has implemented to support the wellness of its physicians - from providing resources, recognizing their work, offering in-person and virtual activities, and a lot more. This episode offers practical advice and data-driven insights to help other organizations create their own successful physician wellness programs.   “We said if we could create a clinic environment that our docs wanted to come work in, then we probably were making changes that meant that our staff was happier and that our patients wanted to come receive care there. So we knew if we could fix things for one group, we would be making it better for everyone.” - Marisa Emmons MD   Episode highlights: The Honeycomb Project: Creating a Corporate Wellness Program Easing physician burden through effective systems Wellness recognition, peer support, gratitude board, and other wellness strategies Determining the impact of the program by tracking key metrics   Resources: Maslach Burnout Inventory Questionnaire https://www.mindgarden.com/117-maslach-burnout-inventory-mbi Glint Surveys: https://www.glintinc.com/blog/an-employees-guide-to-glint-surveys/   Connect with Dr. Emmons: Christus Health http://www.christushealth.org/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marisa-emmons-md-mha-faafp-81324413/ Watch on Youtube:  https://youtu.be/owvGTnuh3aM   Learn more about Dr. Dike and The Happy MD: https://linktr.ee/dikedrummond Contact Dr. Drummond Email: support@thehappymd.com  Phone: 206-430-1905 Web contact form: https://www.thehappymd.com/contact  

A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on June 19, 2023, entitled, “Utilizing metformin to prevent metabolic syndrome due to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT): a randomized phase II study of metformin in non-diabetic men initiating ADT for advanced prostate cancer.” Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) can lead to metabolic syndrome (MS) and is implicated in ADT-resistance. Metformin showed antineoplastic activity through mTOR inhibition secondary AMPK-activation. To investigate whether metformin mitigated ADT-related MS, researchers Devalingam Mahalingam, Salih Hanni, Anthony V. Serritella, Christos Fountzilas, Joel Michalek, Brian Hernandez, John Sarantopoulos, Paromitta Datta, Ofelia Romero, Sureshkumar Mulampurath Achutan Pillai, John Kuhn, Michael Pollak6, and Ian M. Thompson from the University of Texas Health Science Center, Robert H Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Mays Cancer Center at University of Texas Health, Audie Murphy VA Hospital, McGill University, and Christus Health conducted a randomized double-blind phase II trial of metformin 500 mg TID or placebo in non-diabetic patients with biochemically-relapsed or advanced prostate cancer (PC) due for ADT. “To test these hypotheses, we conducted a phase II randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective study of metformin vs. placebo in patients with advanced, castrate sensitive PC treated with ADT (NCT:01620593).” Fasting serum glucose, insulin, PSA, metformin, weight, and waist circumference (WC) were measured at baseline, week 12 and 28. The primary endpoint was a group of MS metrics. Secondary endpoints include PSA response, safety, serum metformin concentrations and analysis of downstream an mTOR target, phospho-S6-kinase. Thirty-six men were randomized to either metformin or placebo. Mean age was 68.4. Mean weight, WC and insulin levels increased in both arms. At week 12 and 28, no statistical differences in weight, WC or insulin were observed in either arm. No significant difference in percentage of patients with PSA

In 2016, on a leap of faith, I signed up for something called a Power Circle and was guided through a six month process by this amazing facilitator Jamie Greenwood. In the space that Jamie held for a small group of us, I said out loud my dreams for Mother's Quest for the first time, and at Jamie's urging, started a Facebook Group for the community I hoped to grow in my journey. Six plus years, almost a 100 podcast episodes, and over a thousand FB Group members later, Jamie has become a mother herself, and has evolved her coaching practice into one that that teaches big-dreaming, high-achieving women, many of them mothers, how to set boundaries and find home within ourselves, without an ounce of guilt. Jamie is also the host of The Path Home, a podcast that explores the many facets of home, how we find home in ourselves and how we create a sense of home in our work, our relationships, our communities and in the future we want to see. When we arrived to this interview as 2022 was coming to a close, Jamie and I were both in the midst of juggling health and wellness challenges with our children. The conversation that unfolded was the reminder we both needed of the power of self-care, of how grateful we are for the flexibility to reorganize things to care for our children when needed, and of finding and communicating our boundaries. Jamie has found a definition she loves…”boundaries are the safe distance at which I can love you and I can love myself.”   I loved this intimate conversation with the coach that helped me find my way at the start of Mother's Quest. In listening, I hope you are reminded, as I was, to slow down, to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us, to trust ourselves to set boundaries, to connect to what we're hungry for and to be brave enough to say it out loud. I hope this episode helps you come home to yourself.  This Episode's Challenge:  Part of coming home to ourselves is about bravery. Reach out to people for connection, and you might be surprised that you can build an instant community. Know that If you have a hunger for something, others likely have that hunger too. Ask yourself, “what kind of connection am I hungry for in my relationships and in my own community?” Then reach out.     About Jamie Greenwood: Jamie Greenwood is a self care and leadership coach and the founder of Homecoming, a 6 month group coaching program that teaches big-dreaming, high-achieving women how to set boundaries and find home in themselves, without an ounce of guilt. With over 15 years experience, Jamie specializes in helping women get really clear on who they are, how they want to live and then actually doing it on their own terms.  Jamie is also the host of The Path Home, a podcast that explores the many facets of home, how we find home in ourselves and how we create a sense of home in our work, our relationships, our communities and in the future we want to see.

In this episode of CHRISTUS Calling, Jillian Fertig travels to Tyler, Texas, home of the CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances Print Shop. We take you inside the 14,000 square foot warehouse, where all the signs and brochures in your CHRISTUS facility are made. But the team here makes way more than just signs, brochures and other print materials. They're extending the healing ministry of Jesus Christ beyond the walls of CHRISTUS Health facilities and into the surrounding communities in a very unique way. We'll learn how this state-of-the-art facility is transforming the world of health care.

As we head into flu season, Jillian Fertig sits down with System Director for Infection Control and Prevention at CHRISTUS Health to answer some of your most asked questions. Should I get a flu shot? If so, when? Can I get it at the same time as my COVID booster shot? Will this be a bad flu season? These are just some of the many topics we'll tackle in this episode of CHRISTUS Calling.

Access to health care in smaller, outlying communities has always been a challenge, but is important now more than ever. In this episode, you'll hear the incredible story of Kamron Slaydon, a young man who credits the CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System for being alive today, following a 2019 hunting accident in rural Jasper County. You'll also hear from physicians about how CHRISTUS Health is rising to the challenge of decreasing disparities when it comes to accessing health care in smaller, more outlying areas. Additionally, we'll spend some time in a small Texas town that has been without a hospital since a facility closure in 2017 and learn how CHRISTUS Health is stepping up to fill that void. CHRISTUS continues its mission to extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ in communities and neighboring cities where, historically, access to both day-to-day health care services, as well as life-saving care was scarce.

This episode features Sam Bagchi, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at CHRISTUS Health. Here, he discusses COVID-19 in his community, vaccine rates in Latin America, and more.

In this week's episode, Chris speaks with Spencer Clancy, the System Director for Talent Development and Culture for CHRISTUS Health. Spencer talks about the impact mentors have had on his career trajectory. Watch to learn how important mentors are to creating the next generation of leaders. Spencer has had many mentors throughout his life both spiritual and professional. He met his first mentor during graduate school who helped him land an internship. This opportunity allowed him to pursue what he wanted to do later in his career. Through the amazing mentoring of this individual, he went into his first leadership position at The Vincit Group. From there, he met an individual working as a leader at CHRISTUS Health, and they talked about their career paths. It was because of this conversation that he was offered an opportunity at CHRISTUS HEALTH. Even though he couldn't commit to the job at the time he was still amazed at the organization's leaders. When he was given another chance to join the company he didn't hesitate to accept. It was at CHRISTUS HEALTH that he met his two new mentors, Lisa Reynolds and Karen Hale. These two leaders showed Spencer what true leadership was through example. They taught Spencer that his initial thoughts on leadership were completely different from true leadership. These leaders always put their teams first and were consistently there for their teams. Spencer used the insights he learned from his mentors for his first formal leadership position at CHRISTUS HEALTH. Spencer found that this leadership style applied to more than just leaders in the professional world. He eventually saw faith as more than just something he learned at school. This was possible through the help of his spiritual mentor, Josh. He helped Spencer look deeply into his faith and to read scripture solely because he wanted to know more. Spencer hopes to do the same for other individuals who are in the same situation. Now, he joins us on the Virtuous Heroes Podcast to talk with us. His insights will allow viewers to become true leaders by learning the importance of mentoring.More about our guest: Spencer leads a team of learning & development professionals focused on creating moments that matter for their Leaders and Associates.Specialties: leadership development strategy, performance management strategy, design and implementation of employee development programs, project management, education design, and program facilitation.Spencer received his undergraduate degree in Psychology from Maryville College. Spencer then went on to complete a Master's Degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencerclancy/https://www.christushealth.org/

In this episode, Chris speaks with Lisa Reynolds, Vice President of Change Management at CHRISTUS Health, about her journey with overcoming herself and how she learned to let go of herself and become less of a people pleaser. Watch to learn how Lisa uses feedback, encouragement from others, and faith to become a successful leader. Growing up as a middle child, Lisa always felt like she had to keep the peace. This led to her developing people pleasing habits, which negatively impacted her. Now after 18 years with CHRISTUS she is able to look back and see where she made changes in herself and where she was able to evolve her role. One important moment for this was a forum with Tony Robbins, which she described as life changing. Lisa was able to identify that she needed to be more assertive, confident, and courageous. Through her own journey of self-discovery, Lisa now helps leaders and employees in CHRISTUS adjust and change to new initiatives. As someone who places importance on personal values, Lisa felt that CHRISTUS was the perfect setting for her. CHRISTUS emphasizes charity healthcare, and as a lifelong Catholic, Lisa enjoys working for an organization that so closely aligns with her values. With 18 years at CHRISTUS Health and 25 years with HR leadership, follow Lisa's advice to see how you can connect your work life and personal life to become the best version of yourself.

June 17, 2022: Today we have a special treat. https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-l-manis-644016173/ (Jonathan Manis), Senior VP and CIO for CHRISTUS Health walks us through his Opening Keynote “Re-Design Healthcare” presented at the Texas HIMSS conference. In this episode, it becomes utterly apparent that the healthcare industry needs a mind-shift. We delve into mobility, connectivity, consumerism and an alteration  to “prediction and prevention” versus the “provision” of care to the sick and unwell. Healthcare can't advance with a new approach until we stop using the old approach. How can we nix some of the complexity? Are customer experience expectations different across different countries? Healthcare consumers are stuck with what their insurance carriers' want them to do. Will we ever break out of that model? How can we re-design healthcare? Key Points: In this digital hurricane world, healthcare is lagging way behind Venture capitalists are not investing in the delivery of better healthcare. Venture capitalists are investing in better healthcare delivery. I hate talking about innovation. We don't need innovation, we need adoption. https://www.christushealth.org/ (CHRISTUS Health)

Interview with Kimberly King Webb, Attorney at Law and Senior Vice President/Chief Human Resources Officer at CHRISTUS Health.

My guest is Dr. Roger Fowler, Vice President, and Chief Medical Director of Quality, Performance and Innovation with CHRISTUS Health in Irving, Texas.As an expert in population health, quality, and healthcare reform, Dr. Fowler offers a rich perspective on the historical events that underpin our current state of U.S. healthcare. His belief is that we must move away from payment systems that reward the quantity of procedures performed, and move toward those programs that reward excellent outcomes for patients and the community.Dr. Fowler describes how quality measures themselves have their origins in the way insurance companies ranked desirable vs. undesirable physicians based on each physician's claims data. It was all about costs. The use of the term Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) is an important reminder of the insurance industry's perspective about medicine vs. the perspective we as physicians have. MLR means that the resources spent on providing medical care for patients is the Loss referred to in this acronym. A family medicine physician for 40 years, Dr. Fowler says when he first heard medical care referred to as a loss it was like fingernails on a blackboard for him.Dr. Fowler has compelling stories of how the healthcare system goes haywire. He talks about the unintended consequences of early “hospitalization insurance” and EMTALA regulations and he laments the various ways unscrupulous characters cash in on patients' vulnerabilities. His expertise and patience almost meet their match with my ignorance about Medicare programs. He labors to help me understand some of the key points of Medicare Advantage, Traditional Medicare, ACOs, Shared Savings programs, and more. After we finished our conversation, I requested a CME certificate.As a patient advocate and expert on population health and quality, he is passionate about getting to a reasonable level of spending on primary care (currently only 5-6% of U.S. healthcare spending is on primary care). He believes doubling the dollars spent on primary care would make significant inroads to address U.S. cost and quality woes.See the newsletter episode #34 for a glossary of some of the terms discussed: https://bit.ly/LTLmoreinfoMeet Roger Fowler, MDDr. Fowler is the Vice President and Chief Medical Director of Quality, Performance and Innovation with CHRISTUS Health, an international not-for-profit health system with hospitals, clinics, physicians and staff in five states and in Latin America.Dr. Fowler envisioned, launched and provided leadership for the department of Population Health for the Trinity Clinic in Tyler, Texas, before that organization merged with CHRISTUS Health. Ultimately, he became the Chief Medical Director of Population Health and Health Plans, and CMO for the CHRISTUS Health Quality Care Alliance (ACO) and CHRISTUS Quality Network (CIN). Most recently Dr. Fowler assumed leadership for the Pharmacy and Quality Improvement departments for the health plan and the Medical Management Department.Dr. Fowler has a broad history of administrative and governance roles, including chairman of the Trinity Clinic board for five years. He began his career as a family medicine physician in a solo practice in 1981 in Kilgore, Texas, providing full spectrum family medicine care. He is a husband, father, grandfather and has been a runner for 43 years.https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-n-fowler-md-faafp-14513236/RogerNFowler@gmail.comhttps://bit.ly/JAMAarticleEP34https://bit.ly/AAFP_articleEP34SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/LicensedToLeadSignup

How do you successfully manage change within your organziation? The key is to remember that change impacts PEOPLE - and you need to ensure they feel seen, heard and  valued in the process before any change can happen. That requires hiring leaders with high emotional intelligence.Today's guest, Lisa Reynolds, is the vice president of change management at CHRISTUS Health, an organization that is 50,000+ strong. Despite the organization's large size, Lisa is able to connect associates to corporate strategy, coaching leadership teams, and individuals to manage organizational transformation, including helping people adopt culture strategies, processes, and system implementations. Listen in and hear the secret ingredient of making sure that your change initiatives take root, no matter how big or how small the organization, and how to hire for emotional intelligence and empathy.  Key Takeaways:Resistance is a normal reaction to change. As leaders, we can plan for that resistance and, with empathy, lead our team through the change rather than rushing them through it. In every interview, before you can assess someone else's EQ, you need to check your own EQ and be aware of your own biases.“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could  - some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is the new day; you shall begin it serenely and with to highest spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson "We tend to hire people for their IQ, but people get promoted by their EQ. If you don't listen and just drive, drive, drive, without involving people, that's when it impacts your career." —  Lisa Reynolds, Ph.D. SPHR About Lisa Reynolds: Vice President of Change Management - CHRISTUS HealthLisa has been with CHRISTUS Health for over 20 years and is the Vice President of Change Management.  Lisa leads the people side of organizational change and transformation, ensuring alignment to business strategies while enriching the CHRISTUS Health culture.

As leaders, we can plan for that resistance and, with empathy, lead our team through the change rather than rushing them through it. In every interview, before you can assess someone else's EQ, you need to check your own EQ and be aware of your own biases.“Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could  - some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in. Forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is the new day; you shall begin it serenely and with to highest spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson "We tend to hire people for their IQ, but people get promoted by their EQ. If you don't listen and just drive, drive, drive, without involving people, that's when it impacts your career." —  Lisa Reynolds, Ph.D. SPHR About Lisa Reynolds: Vice President of Change Management - CHRISTUS HealthLisa has been with CHRISTUS Health for over 20 years and is the Vice President of Change Management.  Lisa leads the people side of organizational change and transformation, ensuring alignment to business strategies while enriching the CHRISTUS Health culture.

Can a leader’s behavior predict healthy cultures and excellent outcomes? Yes indeed! Listen in on my conversation with superb healthcare executive, Dr. Scott Smith.Dr. Smith’s leadership path is worth studying in order to see how relentless patient focus and a bias for action can result in terrific outcomes—for all the stakeholders. He is currently a vice president with the international healthcare system, CHRISTUS Health, where he has operational responsibilities in four states and in Latin America.Dr. Smith talks about how a physician leader can navigate the fraught world of managing professionals, transporting the business of healthcare across international borders, and maintaining focus during the Covid-19 crisis.

Before you burn out,  listen to this episode!The Rut of Compassion FatigueIt may have been your dream to be a nurse, a physician, a mental health professional, or even a police officer. You expose yourself to the trauma of others when you work in a caring profession.Your mind fails to distinguish between what is happening to others and what is happening to you.The trauma of others eventually becomes your trauma. That is one of the drawbacks of having empathy towards others.Compassion fatigue wears us down over time. It creeps in, and we may not realize it is happening to us. Vicariously experiencing trauma changes our minds, our outlook on life, and it may even sabotage our health.Amy Cunningham shares with us her experiences and knowledge of compassion fatigue. We will learn how it appears, and how to build the five resiliencies within us every day.Amy Cunningham BioAmy is a certified Compassion Fatigue Educator through Green Cross Traumatology.
