In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kristopher Kaliebe, a child, adult, and forensic psychiatrist known for his critical stance on “gender-affirming care.” We delve into the complexities surrounding the current landscape of gender identity and the implications for mental health care. Dr. Kaliebe shares his journey into this contentious field, highlighting his concerns about the medicalization of gender dysphoria and the potential harm it poses to vulnerable youth.We explore the concept of "illness identity," where young people may gravitate towards labels that define their struggles, often leading to over-diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Dr. Kaliebe emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances behind statements like "I feel like a woman" or "I feel like a boy," urging listeners to consider the psychological factors at play. We also discuss the troubling trend of social transition among children and the societal pressures that contribute to this phenomenon.Throughout our conversation, we question the integrity of professional organizations that have adopted advocacy over science, leading to a lack of diverse perspectives in psychiatric practice. This episode aims to shed light on the urgent need for a more balanced dialogue in mental health care, encouraging professionals and parents alike to critically evaluate the current approaches to gender identity and treatment.Kristopher Kaliebe, MD is a Professor of Psychiatry at University of South Florida, in Tampa Florida. He is Board Certified in Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Forensic Psychiatry. He is a Distinguished Fellow at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP).His clinical work has been primarily in University clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers and juvenile corrections. At USF Dr. Kaliebe instructs medical students, psychiatry residents, child and adolescent psychiatry fellows, and forensic psychiatry fellows.From 2013-2021 he served as co-chair of AACAP's Media Committee. From 2016 to 2022 he was the liaison between the AACAP and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Dr. Kaliebe's publications and presentations include the effects of digital technologies, gender, psychotherapy, juvenile, corrections, mind-body medicine, nutrition, and mental health in primary care settings. He is concerned about naïve interventionalism in medicine.Restore Childhood: https://restorechildhood.com/  00:00 Start[00:01:43] Gender-affirming care skepticism.[00:03:39] Early onset gender dysphoria.[00:08:10] Gender dysphoria diagnosis concerns.[00:13:07] Illness identity versus stigma.[00:16:44] Illness identity and social transition.[00:21:08] Gender identity and social transition.[00:25:37] Gender identity's incoherent evolution.[00:29:31] Symbolic equivalence in identity.[00:32:01] Comfort and identity in gender.[00:38:01] Psychiatry's response to advocacy pressures.[00:39:49] Advocacy versus science in medicine.[00:45:34] Institutional takeover as a virus.[00:48:31] Emotional communication in media.[00:51:05] Classical liberalism in education.[00:55:24] Parental caution in therapy choices.[01:00:06] Overprotecting youth in society.[01:05:38] Building identity through creativity.[01:08:50] Consequences of overprotective parenting.[01:10:32] Consequences in parenting.[01:15:50] Male identity and societal challenges.[01:18:41] Restore Childhood initiative.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

Federally Qualified Health Centers were created during the civil rights era to bring health care to more people, particularly underserved communities. Here in Northern Nevada, HOPES was originally a clinic for patients with HIV but has since expanded into a FQHC providing primary care and other services to around 14,000 patients in the Reno/Sparks area. On this episode of Renoites, I spoke with HOPES CEO Sharon Chamberlain about the history of HOPES and the services they provide, especially the type of services needed by our most vulnerable citizens. We also discussed how health care options have changed during her career, and the priorities of HOPES including harm reduction syringe exchange, sexual health and STI testing, medically assisted treatment for addiction, and mental and behavioral health. HOPES recently opened a second clinic immediately adjacent to the Cares Campus and operates the Hope Springs tiny home transitional housing community right across the street. We talked about the importance of this new location and making health care accessible to the unhoused. Thank you so much for listening!

On episode 478 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith welcomes back Dr. Annie DePasquale of CollaboratingDocs.com. This time, Keith and Dr. Annie discuss the hottest trends in nurse practitioner career paths, especially for cash-based business endeavors like medical aesthetics, weight loss, IV hydration and vitamin infusions, telepsychiatry, and concierge medicine. Many NPs are wanting more freedom from the healthcare system rat race, and cash-based private practices are one way to circumvent the slog that so many NPs are encountering when working in the mainstream medical system. Dr. Annie DePasquale, MD is a Board-certified Family Medicine physician who first-hand saw an unmet need for her NP colleagues who need a supervising physician to practice independently. Dr. DePasquale studied piano & French as an Undergrad at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and completing her Facility Medicine Residency program at Georgetown University in Washington DC. She taught for the Teach America program in Baltimore, MD and worked for Federally Qualified Health Centers in Washington, DC, Medford, OR & Lynchburg, VA. In 2020, Dr. Annie DePasquale founded Collaborating Docs when she realized how hard it is for NPs to find a collaborating physician. The hoops that nurse practitioners have to jump through to start practicing are too exhausting for anyone to handle alone. Dr. DePasquale benefited greatly from the mentorship of NPs throughout her career, especially when she was a green new grad, so she is very committed to giving back to the community that helped her so much. Along with her team, Dr. DePasquale's mission is to make it easy for NPs to help more patients by having the freedom of choice. Collaborating Docs has helped over 4000 NPs match with collaborating physicians.

When we think about health professions training we often think of physicians. However, the health professions field encompasses so many more professionals, many of whom are in high-demand at FQHCs. In this episode, we will hear from Erie Family Health Centers, Inc. on their unique training programs for Medical Assistants, such as an medical assistant externship program and a relationship with the National Institute for Medical Assistant Advancement. We also discuss Erie's summer internship program and hear about their work with behavioral health, nursing, and public health students. 

Teaching can be an effective tool for health centers in their recruitment and retention efforts. Setting up new programs or establishing relationships with existing programs can seem like a daunting task, however, many FQHCs have been able to create training programs to assist in developing the next generation of health care professionals. In this podcast we will hear from Erie Family Health Centers, Inc. on their experience with residency programs and an advanced practice registered nurse fellowship.

Thanks for joining us, today we welcome Dr. Steven Chen, Chief Medical Officer of Alameda County Recipe4Health, an award-winning “food as medicine” model that intentionally brings together health care, food systems, and agriculture to improve food/nutrition insecurity, chronic conditions, and health/racial equity, while leading the scale and spread of Recipe4Health (R4H).

One in 11 Americans rely on community health centers to get routine medical care, as well as social services and, in some cases, fresh food. Plaza del Sol is one of two dozen sites run by Urban Health Plan Inc., one of nearly 1,400 federally designated community health centers, which serve as a critical safety net for low-income people of all ages. Nine in 10 health center patients live at or below 200% of the federal poverty line, according to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration. It's a safety net under stress. “Without us here, there'd be a huge gap and chasm in terms of poor people being able to receive care. And that has ripple effects across the country,” said Dr. Matthew Kusher at Plaza del Sol. Since 2012, community health centers – also called federally qualified health centers – have seen the number of people coming to get care rise by 45%. The health centers have opened more and more service sites, expanding their footprint to more than 15,000 locations in every state and U.S. territory. The centers are there serving people who may have few other options: newly arrived migrants, rural residents, people who lost their job and, with it, their health insurance. “We're not checking the insurance status or refugee status,” said Dr. Acklema Mohammad at Urban Health Plan's El Nuevo San Juan location. “My motto is a patient is a patient is a patient. We're here. Open for everyone. Everyone in the community.” Many centers are short-staffed and struggling to compete for doctors, mental health professionals, nurses and dentists. They're at the forefront of helping people obtain insurance as millions are booted off. Medicaid leaders also say funding is an ever-present concern, especially with the months-long debate over the federal budget making it all but impossible for the centers to plan and hire for the long term. “We always worry about the budget,” Dr. Kusher said. Despite that, the centers are trying to improve their communities' health and access to primary care in the face of inequities that start well before a patient steps into an exam room.

We're honored to have on this week's episode of "Straight Outta Health IT" the dynamic and unconventional Dr. Kameron Matthews, MD. This amazing clinician has dedicated her life's mission to the equitable delivery of healthcare and the adoption of health policies impacting underserved communities. Dr. Kameron Leigh Matthews is the Chief Health Officer of Cityblock Health, a transformative, value-based healthcare provider integrating medical, behavioral, and social services for Medicaid and dually eligible and low-income Medicare beneficiaries. A board-certified Family Physician, Dr. Matthews has focused her career on underserved and vulnerable communities, having held multiple leadership roles in correctional medicine, federally qualified health centers, and managed care. Most recently at the Veterans Health Administration, she led transformational efforts focused on integrated, Veteran-centered models of care including the implementation of the MISSION Act of 2018 and the EHR modernization effort. She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine. In addition to other non-profit and advisory board positions, she serves as the Vice-Chair of the board of directors of the National Quality Forum. As a passion outside of work, she co-founded and co-direct the Tour for Diversity in Medicine, an initiative seeking to bring premedical enrichment activities to underrepresented minority high school and undergraduate students across the country. In this episode, she shares her journey into healthcare advocacy after taking a detour from med school to earn a law degree which sparked her passion for helping underserved communities. Social determinants of health like zip code, education, and income really do affect access to care. Dr. Kameron reflects on how she started working at Federally Qualified Health Centers and for her, being a physician of color absolutely made the difference. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzzwords according to Dr. Mathews. A diverse healthcare workforce can directly impact the quality of care and the equitable treatment of patients of color. Her passion now is leading CityBlock Health. Their mission is to create safe and supportive environments for the delivery of holistic care to our most vulnerable and marginalized citizens.

Dr. Tom Milam is the Chief Medical Officer at Iris Telehealth, which focuses on providing in-person and digital support to community mental health centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and rural health clinics that don't have enough access to behavioral health providers. The populations they treat are often underserved and have social determinants of health that are barriers to accessing timely care. Tom elaborates, "We're also working a lot in emergency rooms and hospitals around the country. Seeing patients there with behavioral health issues, again in organizations that don't have enough providers. And that seems to be par for the course around the country for a lot of hospitals and health systems. They need additional providers, and we're happy to provide those through telepsychiatry at Iris." "The positive thing about telepsychiatry really is that it eliminates the geographic barriers that are huge barriers for people getting care. So we can get our excellent providers into areas that have a really hard time recruiting onsite providers. So other than that, one of the things I say is that telepsychiatry is a technology. That's all that it is." @IrisHealth #IrisTelehealth #Telepsychiatry #Telepsychiatrist #Psychiatrist #BehavioralHealth #EmergencyDepartments #RuralHospitals #MedicaidPatients #MedicarePatients #SDoH iristelehealth.com Listen to the podcast here

Federally Qualified Health Centers, or FQHCs, are different from your typical healthcare facility in many ways. Joining us to talk about these differences on this episode of Taking the Pulse is Pam Davis, CEO of Little River Medical Center— a FQHC based in Horry County, South Carolina. Pam explains the many services LRMC offers the community, how they're keeping their employees motivated, and more. Tune in!

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) are community-based healthcare providers that receive funding to offer primary-care services in low-income and underserved communities.On May 18th, 2022, Yuvo Health announced a partnership with four FQHCs. This partnership will enable them to expand these FQHCs reach to even more individuals. Cesar Herrera, CEO & Co-Founder of Yuvo Health, spoke with I Don't Care host Kevin Stevenson about this exciting opportunity.As Herrera explained, Yuvo Health provides administrative and technology wrap-around services to support federally qualified health centers to enable their transition to value-based care. Rural and hyper-urban areas are two concentrations where FQHCs play a vital role in supporting the communities.Yuvo Health's mission is personal as well as professional. Herrera was an FQHC patient growing up. His first-hand experience of the importance these centers provide to the community gave him an understanding of what happens to a society that doesn't have equitable access to primary healthcare.In NYC, where Yuvo Health is based, most private practice doctors don't accept any insurance. This exclusivity closes the door to many patients who cannot afford private care and magnifies the problem in underserved communities where options are limited. That's why Yuvo's announcement is welcome news.“We've brought on our first set of FQHC partners with our model launched in downstate NY,” Herrera said. “What Yuvo is, is an IPA and an MSO model. It enables us to establish value-based contracts on behalf of our FQHC partners with managed care entities, and in many cases, these are contracts that our FQHC partners would not be able to establish on their own.”These first four FQHC partners represent a diverse set of the patient population representing the five boroughs of NYC and Long Island, and roughly 40,000 Medicaid lives flowing through their centers every year.

Since the inception of the HealthCare Untold Podcast, I wanted to record an episode about Latinos' own version of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. When the earthquake hit, I was the Executive Director of Salud Para La Gente, a farmworker clinic in Watsonville, and what I experienced and witnessed first-hand during this ordeal was life changing.  These same feelings were sparked during the Covid-19 Pandemic as our podcast captured the voices and work of Latinos and others who stepped up and organized to provide the  support and services to those in need in LatinX communities around the country.It's been 32 years since the 1989 Loma Prieta staff and volunteers of  Salud Para La Gente  served over 10,000 people with medical and mental health services as well as with clothing, food and monetary support. This type of timely and life-saving support is exactly what our community organizations are doing around the country today, support all made possible by committed  staff, funders, donors, and volunteers.  This podcast episodes includes testimonials of those involved in response to the earthquake and a discussion with Dr. Sandra Hernandez, CEO of the California Healthcare Foundation, about the traditional phases of disaster management: preparedness, response and recovery. The lessons learned from today's responses  to the California Fires and Covid-19 Pandemic are the same: the importance of serving our most vulnerable communities with dignity and respect.As Mayor Oscar Rios shares the multiple improvements of Latinx civic leadership  since the earthquake 32 years ago in Watsonville, I can't help but wonder about the future for our communities post Covid-19. My experiences have shown over and again that when people come together to solve a crisis, we can permanently make the world a better place. This has become my central thesis and philosophy for public health as you will hear reflected in our podcast, HealthCare UnTold.       

In this new episode of the HIMSS21 Changemaker Podcast series, a HIMSSCast production, Healthcare IT News Executive Editor Mike Miliard speaks with Isaiah Nathaniel, chief information officer at Delaware Valley Community Health, a private, non-profit health system, based in Philadelphia, that provides medical, dental and behavioral health services to patients – whether or not they're able to pay.In this interview, Nathaniel explains how Delaware Valley Community Health, which operates seven Federally Qualified Health Centers in the region, was able to respond to the early days of the COVID-19 public health emergency, and configuring and scaling up its IT resources and telehealth capabilities. He talks about interoperability, public health information exchange, vaccine outreach, SDOH data management and much more.In June, HIMSS (parent company of Healthcare IT News) named the first recipients of the Changemakers in Health Awards, meant to recognize leaders worldwide who are harnessing information and technology toward better health outcomes.

At the dawn of the 21st century, incoming healthcare professionals are faced with a rapidly changing professional landscape. Newly trained health providers must advocate for their patients while staying current with evolving medical knowledge and technology. Establishing oneself while balancing responsibilities can seem impossible at times. In this episode, UConn School of Medicine student, Sara Schulwolf, and Quinnipiac University Physician Assistant student, Apoorva Sajan, interview Dr. Victoria Massey, DMD (UConn-trained general practice dentist providing care to patients at Fair Haven Community Health Center in New Haven) and Dr. Douglas Olsen, MD (Chief Medical Officer at Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services with a multi-decade career as a primary care and addiction medicine physician with experience treating patients at Federally Qualified Health Centers) about the skills needed to succeed in the current healthcare field.

Telehealth Bills abound in Washington.  What do you want in a telehealth bill?FTAThe Advancing Connectivity During the Coronavirus to Ensure Support for Seniors (ACCESS) Act targets telehealth expansion in nursing facilities, which have been hard hit by COVID-19.The bill would set aside $50 million for the Health and Human Services Department's Telehealth Resource Center to expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage of telehealth services in nursing facilities. It would also create a grant program for nursing homes to create virtual visit services during the pandemic and require the HHS Secretary to provide guidance on virtual care expansion.The Safe Testing at Residence Telehealth (START) Act of 2021, which would mandate Medicare coverage for virtual care COVID-19 tests approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. The tests would be conducted at home with a telehealth consult and would either confirm or discount a diagnosis of COVID-19 or a similar respiratory infection.Finally, there's the Ensuring Telehealth Expansion Act, which was re-introduced.bill targets several provisions of last year's CARES Act, extend the following through the end of 2025:- Exemption for telehealth services (regarding Health Savings Accounts);- Increasing Medicare telehealth flexibilities during the emergency period;- Enhancing Medicare telehealth services for Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics during the emergency period;- Temporary waiver of requirement for face-to-face visits between home dialysis patients and physicians;- Use of telehealth to conduct a face-to-face encounter prior to recertification of eligibility for hospice care during the emergency period; and- Encouraging the use of telecommunications systems for home health services furnished during the emergency period.----Do these work for you?  What would you like to see?https://mhealthintelligence.com/news/amp/washington-is-awash-in-new-and-reintroduced-telehealth-bills
