Did you know that countless perfectly good sterilized medical supplies sadly end up in landfills, leaving many in need without critical support and that this waste occurs despite the pressing need for healthcare resources around the world? Listen to the remarkable journey of Danielle Butin, founder and CEO of Afya, as she discusses her transition from a laid-off healthcare executive to a passionate global health advocate, driven by the desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of others. Since 2007, Afya has compassionately shipped over 140 containers of medical supplies to 70 countries, touching countless lives and providing essential support to communities that lack access to basic healthcare. You'll hear about the pivotal moment in Tanzania that ignited her mission and passion — a moment that revealed not only the urgent need for medical supplies but also the potential for change that exists when compassionate individuals take action. You will learn about the hurdles she faced in securing resources and the bureaucratic challenges that often hinder humanitarian efforts. Further, uncover the impactful programs designed to assist in disaster relief and strengthen health systems that have emerged from her visionary leadership. Danielle shares her heartfelt insights on the power of community involvement, the significance behind Afya's name, which means "health" in Kishwahili, and the essential role of personal hygiene supplies in disaster response, highlighting how small items can have monumental effects in crisis situations. Tune in and be inspired by her unwavering dedication to bringing health and hope to those who need it most, proving that with determination and altruism, we can all contribute to a healthier, more equitable world.Sponsored by Harvard Business School.Producer: Tammy Williams, tewilliams1@bgoodpartners.com

At the first year mark of The Latest Version, I am checking in with my first six guests. These women shared their stories when I didn't have a finished product yet to share with them. They took a chance with me, sharing their stories about their life journeys and their plans for the future, and I am so grateful to them. Their experiences this past year will sound familiar to many of you. Some are making progress, while others have family issues that may have put their plans on temporary hold, but no one's giving up. All original episodes are available at www.thelatestversionpodcast.com/episodes.Danielle Butin started Afya Foundation, a nonprofit in Yonkers, NY that collects unused medical supplies from hospitals that would otherwise go to landfill. Afya receives these supplies in their warehouse, sorts and repacks, then ships them to hospitals around the world, often in response to natural disasters. Today, Afya Foundation's purpose could not be more vital, as they send off supplies to Ukraine. If you want to donate to Afya, please go to www.afyafoundation.org.Lucy Filppu is a long-time English teacher at Palo Alto High School in California. Last year We talked about her work at a high performing school district. Lucy shared with us that she was working with a writers group to start on a novel. She also has an entrepreneurial side, as several years ago she started writing boot camp for students entering high school. So how's it going? Lucy shared with me that she has a sick family member who is her priority right now. Many of us have shared a simiar experience and we send her and her family much love.Christina McMurray wrote and published a book, “Live, Laugh, Fly,” about her son Scott's battle with a rare pediatric cancer and death at 22. In truth, the book was a bigger examination of a marriage that hit some rocks but, contrary to expectations, came back stronger than ever when Scott's illness hit. A big part of Chris's story are the coincidences and “signs” her family have noticed since Scott's passing, and her confidence that he continues to be a part of their lives. Chris and husband Gene are doing well, and even have a podcast of their own! Chris's book, “Live, Laugh, Fly” can be found on Amazon.Lela Cocoros Goldstein's life after retirement from a busy corporate and consulting career took an interesting turn. Last year she told me about her discovery of the art of collage. I didn't know much about collage, other than to think, “wow, that looks like fun.” And my other thought was, “Lela is really good at that!” My question to her last year was, “How far are you going to take this?” She is still growing as a collage artist and is exploring teaching collage. You can view her work on her Latest Version episode page.Betsy Chappell shows how you can take an interest or a sideline – in this case gardening – and turn it into a business by focusing on a niche. In Betsy's case, the niche is container gardening, enhancing the outdoor spaces of her clients' homes in Lexington, Kentucky with beautiful potted plant arrangements. A year later, her business, Blooms Designs is, well, blooming. She is finding new ways to market her business and is building it up with a particular goal in mind. You can see her Instagram feed at Blooms Designs.Finally, my first interview last year was with Lara Lavi – an old friend who had a promising career as an Americana singer songwriter, but put a lot of that aside to concentrate on her law practice and, more recently, to help manage the career of her very talented son, Cameron Lavi-Jones and his band, King Youngblood. When we talked last year, Lara had just released a single, a cover of Joni Mitchell

13 years ago Danielle Butin, founder of Afya Foundation (afyafoundation.org) which rescues and collects discarded medical supplies to ship to 83 nations,  had a significant senior job in health care. “It did not fit what I wanted to do any longer,” she says. “I was ready to make a change. I kept making that clear. Ultimately I got a severance package to launch Afya.” Divorced, with her kids at summer camp, Butin decided that instead of looking for a job, she would travel to Tanzania to clear her head. “In the Serengeti I saw a woman bawling her eyes out. I sat down with her,” she says. The woman was a doctor in London who volunteered in Africa. She was upset because she was watching children die because she didn't have IV starter lines. “There are moments in your life when you hear something and something inside rumbles and you have to do something about it,” Butin says. “That's what happened to me.”  Though Butin knew nothing about international health or shipping, she knew she could “bring programs to life and inspire people.”  Back home, she began dumpster diving in hospital alleyways to see what their garbage looked like. “Because of [U.S.] hospital regulations, anything in the [operating] room has to be discarded because there could be germs or exposure,” she explains. “There are millions of pounds of [discarded] supplies.” Listen to Butin explain how Afya weathered the storm of Covid19--where hospitals who used to supply her actually called her for PPE (personal protective equipment)--and how she skirted the red tape to get supplies where they were needed.  FREE GIFT!

Playing for Team Human today is Danielle Butin, founder of the Afya Foundation. Afya collects and sends surplus medical supplies from the US to those who need them around the world. In today’s conversation with Douglas, Danielle shares not only stories of the good accomplished through Afya, but also a broader strategy for human intervention. How did Danielle, an occupational therapist and geriatric care provider, come to launch an organization that has shipped more than six million pounds of medical and humanitarian supplies into areas of crisis? Danielle describes the change that can come by the simple act of listening and then responding to need. She shares her zeal for deep human encounters and teaches that great ideas are "dancing among us” if we choose to be awake and aware enough to take notice.Douglas begins today’s episode with a monologue about the “might makes right” mentality that may just be the key to deconstructing the underpinnings of the racist rhetoric and policy so prominent under this administration.

In this episode of Uprising!!!by Scott Goodson, we interview Danielle Butin, the Head of Afya Foundation, an organization dedicated to making a positive impact on our world.

"People who are not listened to need those who are listened to to fight like hell for them."How many times have you heard an inspiring story of incredible service and heart and then thought, "How does that even get started?"Probably a lot.Because the truth is, most of us would love to create an impactful, service-oriented mission in our lives, but we're overwhelmed with the sheer logistics, let alone cost.Danielle Butin was no different, except that she didn't let those obstacles deter her.After decades of a highly successful career in occupational therapy and geriatric care, she found herself at a personal and professional crisis.So she took a trip to Tanzania.And what she experienced there left a mark so deep on her heart, she couldn't ignore it. Even though she tried.In this conversation, we get to hear the raw, unfiltered truth about how Danielle had to do the work of "undoing" her professional habits and mindset in order to get her non-profit, Afya Foundation, going.She opens up about the toll it took on her family, how she found funding and supplies, and how to be direct in communicating what you need to happen (even across the world with a translator).She peels back the covers on how people react to you when you park a semi-truck full of medical supplies in front of your house, when you dumpster dive in the city, and when you stand up to corrupt systems.Danielle's story is so full of vision and passion, it will have you changing your entire perspective on what's possible when your heart calls you to do something you've never done before.It's my honor and delight to introduce you to the extraordinary heart and mind of Danielle Butin.Some questions I ask:How old were you when you started to notice your love of elderly people?Why would a corporation not preserve a model that is successful both financially and functionally?How do you cover the financial needs of a growing non-profit?Links we mention:Afya Foundation Mountains Beyond Mountains Partners in Health Pencils of PromiseFollow Afya Foundation:Facebook | Twitter | YouTube"It was about creating a new reality and listening to other people and not just what I knew."

Miscommunication during the care transition puts elderly patients at risk for reduced quality of care, poorer outcomes and unnecessary procedures, according to Gregg Lehman, president and CEO of Inspiris. He defines the key players on the care transition team, suggests strategies for improving communications during this crucial phase and describes his organization's approach to dual eligibles who find themselves at this healthcare crossroad. Lehman, along with Danielle Butin, director of health services at Oxford Health Plans, a United Healthcare Company, described how their organizations are coordinating the care of Medicare patients as they transition through the healthcare system to minimize costly episodes of care during a November 30th audio conference, Managing Transitions to Care for Medicare Patients to Avoid Costly Inpatient Admissions.

Danielle Butin, director of health services at Oxford Health Plans, a United Healthcare company, describes the Oxford's two-and-half-day health coach training program.
