Robert F. Kennedy, younger brother to John F Kennedy, former Attorney General and New York Senator, and a leading Democratic presidential candidate, was assassinated on June 5, 1968.  He was at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, shortly after delivering a victory speech following his win in the California primary.  The official story is that Kennedy was shot multiple times by Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian man. Sirhan was quickly apprehended at the scene and later claimed that he was angry over Kennedy's pro-Israel stance, particularly his support for Israel in the wake of the Six-Day War in 1967.  Kennedy was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries the following day, on June 6, 1968.Although Sirhan Sirhan was arrested and convicted of the murder, many conspiracy theories have since emerged surrounding the assassination.  Some people believe that there may have been a second gunman or that Sirhan's actions were part of a larger plot. These theories have been fueled by the fact that Sirhan's gun was only a small-caliber revolver which was inconsistent with the murder weapon, and the physical evidence suggested that the shots that killed Kennedy came from close range—closer than Sirhan was able to stand to the senator at the time. Some argue that there were additional shooters in the pantry, pointing to discrepancies in witness testimony and the trajectory of the bullets.Conspiracy theories point to the possibility of CIA or other government involvement, citing the political climate of the time, with Kennedy being a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and a potential force for change in U.S. politics. Others suggest that powerful figures within the Democratic Party may have had motives for silencing Kennedy as he was gaining momentum in the race for president.   Did Sirhan Sirhan act alone?  Or was he merely a victim of MK Ultra?  Did he actually kill RFK, or was there someone else directly responsible?Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Welcome to today's show! There are families that come to mind when you think about working together in unison, toward a cause. Of course, there are famous ones, like the Osmond family, the Jackson family, in the entertainment industry or perhaps the sports families like Venus & Serena Williams. Then sometimes those special families who work so well together are living right next door! My guests today (with an “s”) are one of those families, who make you smile when you hear their story or, even better, see them in action! I am sure that many of you have heard about the Spivey family, not only because of their long connection to the area, but because they are kind, compassionate and enterprising, and always looking for ways to serve their neighbors.

Whether creating one of a kind jewelry, candles from repurposed wine bottles or goat milk soap, this family is non-stop! And the best part of the story is how they support local organizations that are important to them, such as the St. Mary's Good Samaritan Hospital, local pregnancy centers and many more.

In this episode, Dr. Amy Brenner, a seasoned surgeon specializing in women's health treatments, sits down with Denise Lyon, an expert on the innovative Acessa procedure for fibroids. Together, they delve into the complexities of fibroids, discussing their impact on women's lives, symptoms, and treatment options. Key Talking Points: Understanding Fibroids: Denise Lyon explains that fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus, influenced primarily by estrogen. They can grow in different locations—inside the uterine cavity (submucosal), within the uterine wall (intramural), or outside the uterus (subserosal)—each location impacting symptoms differently. Prevalence and Impact: Up to 77% of women may develop fibroids, often leading to heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), pressure symptoms, pain, and other discomforts affecting daily life. Treatment Options: Dr. Amy Brenner outlines a range of treatments from conservative approaches to more invasive procedures like hysterectomy. They discuss the benefits of Acessa, a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure designed to shrink fibroids without the need for major surgery. Acessa Procedure Explained: Densie and Dr. Brenner detail the Acessa procedure, highlighting its use of ultrasound to target and destroy fibroid tissue with minimal disruption. They compare it favorably to other treatments in terms of recovery time, pain management, and efficacy. Patient Considerations: The conversation covers why Acessa might be chosen over other methods, especially for patients with bulk symptoms or specific fibroid characteristics. Success and Recovery: They share data on Acessa's success rates, reduction in bleeding, and patient satisfaction, emphasizing its long-term benefits and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries. Patient Experience: Dr. Amy Brenner discusses what patients can expect post-procedure, including pain management, recovery timeline, and when they can anticipate relief from symptoms. Join Dr. Amy Brenner and Denise Lyon as they unpack the complexities of fibroids and explore how the Acessa procedure is reshaping treatment options for women seeking relief from this common condition.

Maxine Bernstein has covered a lot of stories in her more than two decades with The Oregonian and now OregonLive. A recent Saturday run along the waterfront quickly gave way to a long day's work when she heard reports of a shooting at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center, not far away in Northwest Portland's Nob Hill District. In this episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, Bernstein and Editor Therese Bottomly walk listeners through the chaotic day, which took Bernstein from Good Sam to the Stadium Fred Meyer to Gresham and then home, where she confronted an unusual ethical challenge. Bottomly recently wrote about challenges that day, July 22, in getting solid and accurate information from official sources to reassure the public, which had been told an assailant was on the loose and Good Sam under lockdown. The Portland Police Bureau gave detailed responses explaining their reasoning in releasing what information they did and describing what they must consider before letting information out to the public. Read the responses here. Bernstein, meantime, was able to confirm key details through the day to keep OregonLive readers informed hour by hour, along with breaking news reporter Austin De Dios, who was at the hospital much of the day. The Oregonian/OregonLive followed the day's news with a deeper story about the victim, Bobby Smallwood; concerns Legacy Health and other health care workers have about safety; and measures Legacy pledged to take to increase security at its hospitals. Bernstein describes two conversations she had with Smallwood's father. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Richard Angelo tenía 26 años cuando se fue a trabajar al Good Samaritan Hospital en Long Island , Nueva York. Tenía antecedentes de hacer cosas buenas por las personas como ex-Eagle Scout y bombero voluntario. También tenía un deseo fuera de control de ser reconocido como un héroe.Angelo se estableció rápidamente como un enfermero altamente competente y bien capacitado. Su conducta tranquila encajaba bien con el alto estrés de trabajar el turno de noche en una unidad de cuidados intensivos. Se ganó la confianza de los médicos y demás personal del hospital, pero eso no fue suficiente para él.Incapaz de alcanzar el nivel de elogios que deseaba en la vida, Angelo ideó un plan en el que inyectaría drogas a los pacientes en el hospital, llevándolos a un estado cercano a la muerte. Luego mostraría sus capacidades heroicas ayudando a salvar a sus víctimas, impresionando a los médicos, compañeros de trabajo y pacientes con su experiencia.Para muchos, el plan de Angelo se quedó corto y varios pacientes murieron antes de que pudiera intervenir y salvarlos de sus inyecciones mortales.

HB 583, a bill concerning multiple K-12 education laws in Ohio, has been approved by the state legislature and is set to arrive on Governor DeWine's desk soon. The bill contains changes to laws concerning students receiving EdChoice private school scholarships and parents of dyslexic students. It also extends districts' ability to hire substitute teachers with only a high school diploma by another two years. The bill expands EdChoice to include some families whose children previously received state funding for private education or whose siblings received such funding. HB 583 has drawn criticism from the Ohio Education Association, who are opposed to the idea of forcing taxpayers to pay to send children to mostly religious private schools which tend to under-perform compared to their public school counterparts. HB 583 also loosens requirements for charter school sponsors in Ohio, a move that has earned them some criticism from both charter school critics and advocates. Both groups raise issue with the lowered accountability this will allow school sponsors to get away with in the state. The bill also pushes back the start of dyslexia screening requirements by one year. Electric company AES Ohio, formerly Dayton Power and Light, is currently seeking approval from the state to disconnect customers remotely for non-payment. Duke Energy Ohio and AEP are already exempt from the in-person notification that AES is currently required to give before shutting off service. A spokesperson for the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said Tuesday that there is no timeline as yet for when we can expect to see a ruling on this case. The move has drawn criticism from the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Council, Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, and the Ohio Poverty Law Center. These groups raise concerns over the language AES uses regarding “vulnerable customers;” AES has proposed “limiting” the number of such customers who would be subject to remote disconnection, which the OCC argues is insufficient. All vulnerable customers, such as people with disabilities or the elderly, should be exempt from the remote disconnection process, they argued in their recent filing. PUCO staff have also recommended against the proposal, saying it does not sufficiently communicate the change in disconnection practices to customers. Currently AES gives customers two notices before disconnection in the winter months but only one notice in the summer, which may be particularly troubling. Tuesday, June 14, was the hottest day Dayton has seen in nearly ten years. Temperatures soared to a peak of 95 degrees at the Dayton International Airport, with a heat index of 107 and humidity in the 70s. Closer to the city center, temperatures rose even one or two degrees higher due to the urban environment. This coming at the same time as power outages across Ohio has put many Daytonians in a precarious position, with National Weather Service meteorologist John franks calling the heat “oppressive.” Nighttime lows stayed above 70 degrees, depriving residents of what would typically be a welcome respite from the daytime heat. Cooling centers have opened across the Dayton metro area for those affected. There are locations in Dayton, Oakwood, Riverside, Moraine, West Carrolton, Washington Twp., and Warren County. As Dayton and Montgomery County Public Health tells us, the three most important things are to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. Visit www.phdmc.org/extreme-heat for more information. A fire broke out Tuesday on the roof of the Mendelson Liquidation Outlet building downtown, producing large clouds of black smoke that were spotted around 11:30 a.m. The building is currently undergoing major renovations to be converted into apartments, offices, and retail space. Dayton fire chief Jeff Lykins reported that the blaze likely started when construction crews cut into or worked on an object with rubber or fuel inside. The fire was small and quickly extinguished, but produced the aforementioned smoke that chief Lykins said made the fire look “more impressive than it actually was.” The damage was contained to roofing and the damaged vessel, and nobody was injured.

Governor Mike Dewine on Monday announced that he has signed HB 99 into law, allowing teachers and other school personnel to carry firearms in classrooms. The bill goes into effect 90 days after being signed. This has been met with significant pushback from Ohio Democrats including former Dayton mayor Nan Whaley, who is also the Democratic nominee running against DeWine for the office of governor of Ohio. Governor DeWine admitted on Monday in his press release that there is no data to support the idea that arming teachers will reduce school shooting incidents, but said he has been told “anecdotally” that it will work. HB 99 also includes $6 million for school safety centers across Ohio, a continuation of the governor's previous efforts to expand behavioral health care across the state. The decision to arm teachers was influenced by the impracticality of schools training and arming hired school security personnel according to the state's current standards, which requires such personnel to have 700 hours or 20 years of law enforcement experience. In contrast, under HB 99, teachers will require only “up to” 24 hours of firearm training before being permitted to carry weapons in the classroom. Schools across the state have responded in various ways to the announcement; some saying they will arm teachers, some saying they won't, and many offering no comment at this time. School districts are not required to arm teachers under HB 99, and those that do are allowed to demand stricter requirements than those set forth by the state government. On the subject of Mike DeWine's repeated loosening of Ohio gun laws, HB 215 went into effect as well on Monday, allowing concealed carry of handguns without a license in the state of Ohio. Any Ohio resident otherwise allowed to carry a gun will not be required to seek a concealed carry license, and Ohioans with existing licenses will not be required to renew them. With this, Dayton Police has announced changes to the way officers will interact with the public, particularly during traffic stops. Officers will be encouraged to regularly ask motorists and residents if they are carrying a firearm, as civilians are now not required to disclose this information to police. Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal also encourages the public to volunteer this information to officers during stops and other encounters with law enforcement. The policy of asking civilians to disclose the possession of firearms is not new among certain departments, but it will now be more widely practiced, according to Chief Afzal. He also encourages gun owners to still opt into the firearm training that comes with a concealed carry license, which HB 215 waives. This Saturday, June 18, there will be a free health fair hosted at New City Church from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Services provided will include COVID vaccines, a1c testing, vision screenings, various weight loss resources, oral health resources, and more.  Dayton is currently developing its first Active Transportation Plan; a program which will seek to identify and prioritize projects to improve Dayton's bicycle and pedestrian networks. The plan will also be an essential part of securing infrastructure funding for such projects. Community members are asked and encouraged to be a part of the planning process throughout the month of July, with various outreach programs and online surveys planned. Visit walkbike.info/Dayton for more information. The Miami Valley Alzheimer's Association Chapter has announced the dates for its five Walks to End Alzheimer's, the largest event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's in the world.

Owner Guy Fragmin announced the decision last Thursday, saying “[they] hope to continue the tradition of great food and service in the near future.” Fans of the 416 on Facebook have expressed their words of sadness, support, and well wishes for the Diner's staff. The Five Rivers MetroParks are ready to restart a variety of projects that were put on hold by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among these are the Taylorsville MetroPark and Sugarcreek MetroPark, which the agency received public feedback on at the end of last year. Another major project going forward soon will be a park-over-the-river between the Third Street Bridge and Wolf Creek Bridge, announced in March of this year. According to MetroParks spokesperson Carrie Scarff, the park and footbridge will seek to unite East and West Dayton, as well as showcase the Great Miami River. The project has been named, appropriately, Unity Bridge. Five Rivers MetroParks also announced plans to make improvements to Sunrise Park and construct bikeways linking West Third Street to the riverfront below the Dayton Art Institute at Monument Avenue.    Angie's Firehouse Tavern on Watervliet Avenue is up for sale after being revived by retired fire captain Patrick Reed in 2010. The restaurant first opened in 1938 as the Hungarian restaurant Angi's (pronounced AHN-ji's), but came to be known as Angie's among locals who were unsure how to pronounce the name. Quickly gaining a reputation for delicious cabbage rolls and other home-cooked Hungarian meals, Angi's became a fixture of the community for decades. Patrick Reed and his family and friends bought the vacant Angi's in 2010 to keep the spot they loved alive. Now he's looking for new ownership with creative ideas to continue their work so he can relax after 12 years of hard work. He also cites frustration with staffing shortages and rising production costs as factors in his decision. Angie's is considered a historic Dayton landmark and is listed for sale at $475,000, including the building, equipment, recipes, and decorations within. And, of course, a 1970 Porsche Firetruck that can be used for advertising. Lynda Suda, market manager of 2nd Street Market, announced that the market has reached 100% indoor capacity. All 44 spaces have been filled by various growers, producers, bakers, artisans, and restaurants. There are spots still available for weekend-only vendors, however. Suda is always looking for passionate entrepreneurs to bring their craft to the community through 2nd Street Market. Many weekend-only vendors at the market are first-time business owners, and 2nd Street helps educate them on what licenses they'll need and how they can get them. Weekend-only vendors can apply by filling out an application and meeting with market organizers, but the process for indoor permanent vendors is both more involved and more competitive. The market has also become more diverse in the past five years, with more minority vendors filling weekend and permanent spots. To learn more about the market and see the various weekend events they hold, visit metroparks.org/places-to-go/2nd-street-market. It is now estimated that Dayton Public Schools will spend $62 million more than they have available in the next two school years and will run out of general fund money in 2024-25. While labor costs are expected to rise significantly, the bigger problem starts in September 2024 when the district will have to have spent its remaining $140 million in federal COVID-19 relief money. This money has been used for many projects in the Dayton Public School system, and the school board doesn't plan to end these projects when the federal relief money that was used to start them runs out. This leaves the district with a projected $73 million deficit in 2024-25. The Board of Education is looking to approve a $230 million general budget for the next school year, which is expected to be temporary until late September. They've also said they're not planning any staff cuts, and are in fact planning to hire for several positions. DPS Superintendent Elizabeth Lolli is meeting with the district's department heads to discuss what projects will be delayed and ensure that nothing is done that will negatively impact instruction or staffing numbers. Immigration attorney and former Dayton Public Schools president Mohamed al-Hamdani was selected as the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party last Thursday. Al-Hamdani is the first Muslim to lead a county Democratic party in Ohio, replacing Mark Owens, who served as chairman for 15 years before his recent retirement. He is a Dayton Public Schools and Wright State University graduate, and earned his law degree from University of Dayton after working as a cultural advisor for the Department of Defense during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Like most politically-savvy people, al-Hamdani has his sights set on this year's elections, hoping to get Democrats into leadership positions at the local, state, and federal levels. Montgomery County has approved a new $6 million Environmental Services Lab in Downtown Dayton. The new lab will make sure drinking water and discharged wastewater are compliant with state regulations for over 80,000 homes in the county. The current lab in Moraine has been in place for decades and is in need of replacement as the county seeks to update aging infrastructure. The new lab will be state of the art and is being paid for by the American Rescue Plan, from which the county received $103 million. On Saturday, June 18, Hospice of Dayton will be holding a butterfly release to remember and honor loved ones lost in Dayton. The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Hospice location on Wilmington Avenue. You can register for a $15 donation to have a butterfly released in a loved one's name; you can register online at hospiceofdayton.org, or you can call Marsha Bernard at 937-671-3119 for more information. The Good Samaritan Hospital site in northwest Dayton has a new facility opening, exciting partners with the project. The closing of the hospital was upsetting to many Dayton residents, who understandably believed it would have a negative impact on the community's health and well-being. The new facility is planned to be two stories, half of which will be occupied by the Dayton YMCA, including a pool, fitness center, and gym. Premier Health, which is putting forward about $15 million to fund the project, will occupy about a quarter of the facility. The project sought community feedback to learn what Daytonians wanted to see on the former hospital campus, which will also include an urgent care clinic, physicians' offices, and medical imaging services. Goodwill Easterseals will also have an office in the space to run their economic self-sufficiency and employment program. Construction is expected to begin this Fall and take about 14 months. Spokespersons with the project have said there will be more information in the coming weeks. Among the producers for the now Tony Award-winning “A Strange Loop” are Wright State University graduate Tony Monda and West Milton-born Jimmy Wilson. The show took home Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical at the 75th annual Tony Awards on Sunday. It was Wilson's first Broadway production as an associate producer with Barbara Whitman Productions. This is Monda's third Tony, previously having been involved in Hadestown, which took Best Musical in 2019, and The Inheritance, which won Best Play at last year's awards. In 2020, he also received the Graduate of the Last Decade Award from the Wright State Alumni Association. Wilson will be moving on to produce “Good Night, Oscar” for Broadway and Monda will be returning to Dayton to work with the Human Race Theater Company, where he interned in college.

This is Renegade Files Episode 15, The Bobby Kennedy Assassination.On June 5th 1968, just four and a half years after his brother, President John Kennedy was shot and killed, US Senator and presidential hopeful Bobby Kennedy addressed his supporters and the press at The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.Kennedy had just won back-to-back victories in South Dakota and California on the campaign trail of primaries seeking the Democratic Nomination for the upcoming presidential race. With minimal Security, Bobby Kennedy left the podium and proceeded to exit the hotel through a kitchen pantry when he was shot in the head and back multiple times.Bobby Kennedy died in the Good Samaritan Hospital 26 hours later.A Jordanian Immigrant, Sirhan-Sirhan, angry over RFK's position on Palestine, was wrestled to the ground at the time of the shooting, a smoking gun in his hand, and the LAPD had an open and shut case.But did they? From the first moments after the shooting, evidence of Sirhan-Sirhan's connection with shady hypnosis programs and the bizarre letters found at his home, combined with the fact that he claimed to have no memory of either the shooting or writing the inflammatory letters, caused many to speculate that the assassin had acted under some kind of mind control. And this is not the only focus of the conspiracy theories to arise around the RFK killing. Accounts of a second gun, extra bullets, destroyed evidence, and deep state cover-up began to pile up and persist to this day. So join Renegade Files and dive into one the most tragic and least understood events of the Space Age American Experience: The Bobby Kennedy Assassination.Diagram of the “Pantry” (labeled “Serving Kitchen” in this drawing).

Kennedy scored major victories when he won both the California and South Dakota primaries on June 4. He addressed his supporters shortly after midnight on June 5, 1968, in a ballroom at The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Leaving the ballroom, he went through the hotel kitchen after being told it was a shortcut to a press room. He did this despite being advised by his bodyguard—former FBI agent Bill Barry—to avoid the kitchen. In a crowded kitchen passageway, Kennedy turned to his left and shook hands with hotel busboy Juan Romero just as Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian, opened fire with a .22-caliber revolver. Kennedy was hit three times, and five other people were wounded. Kennedy would be pronounced dead 26 hours later at Good Samaritan Hospital and his death was subject to many conspiracy theories like his brother, JFK. Richard NIxon would go on to win the election of 1968. However, what if RFK was not assassinated and went on to win the presidency? How would the country be different? What changes and bills would RFK push for? And how would situations such as Vietnam look under Kennedy instead of Nixon? And the equal rights and pay act?

This week we dive into the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on the True Crime Never Sleeps podcast.    On June 5, 1968, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy was mortally wounded shortly after midnight at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Earlier that evening, the 42-year-old junior senator from New York was declared the winner in the South Dakota and California 1968 Democratic Party presidential primaries during the 1968 United States presidential election.  He was pronounced dead at 1:44 a.m. PDT on June 6, about 26 hours after he had been shot. Following dual victories in the California and South Dakota primary elections for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, Senator Kennedy spoke to journalists and campaign workers at a live televised celebration from the stage of his headquarters at the Ambassador Hotel. Shortly after leaving the podium and exiting through a kitchen hallway, he was mortally wounded by multiple shots fired from a handgun.    Kennedy died in the Good Samaritan Hospital 26 hours later. The shooter was 24-year-old Sirhan Sirhan. In 1969, Sirhan was convicted of murdering the senator and sentenced to death. His sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1972. A freelance newspaper reporter recorded the shooting on audiotape, and the aftermath was captured on film.

Dr. Regine has taken the lead in her field since beginning her practice and continues to “up the ante” and excel as a forward-thinking professional and zealous advocate.

She has a third book titled Francine and Her Special Talents. While publishing these books was a positive contribution to the community, she still felt driven to address the broader issue of children's mental health in public schools by co-founding a mental health advocacy organization called Team Project RISE (Recognizing and Improving Support for Educators), which advocates for a teacher training program that equips educators with the tools they need to better identify, and interact with, students with mental health struggles (www.teamprojectRISE.com).

On this episode of I Don't Care, host Kevin Stevenson talked with Steve Loveless, President, and CEO, Regional Market Executive of St. Vincent Healthcare, about his career in healthcare, which began as a fellow working with Stevenson in Oklahoma. They also talked about leadership and taking risks.“Those early activities, as they pulled me out of the fellowship and into the role of value enhancement, and the efforts to understand what brought value to healthcare" - Steve LovelessIn his first role as a fellow at Good Samaritan Hospital in Oklahoma, Loveless learned the importance of vision. He noted that the leadership at the time had a vision, and they were willing to take risks. This is a value that's important to healthcare, according to Loveless.These leadership examples early on in his career would have an impact on how he would lead.“Those early activities, as they pulled me out of the fellowship and into the role of value enhancement, and the efforts to understand what brought value to healthcare,” Loveless said. “Then to break it down and to pursue action plans in each of those areas and drive value further was the groundwork for the activities that I've been driving in my organization.”As he heads into the next phase of his career, one in which he'll focus on the development of others, specifically leaders and future leaders, as an executive coach.

The Covid-19 pandemic obviously will be the focus of work by future historians. But enough history has unfolded already for Hoosier History Live to explore the beginnings of the health crisis in Indiana, including the first diagnosed case and the first death in the state. During this show, we also will compare the spread in urban and rural areas, describe early challenges in contact tracing and explore other aspects of the emerging epidemic. Nelson will be joined by a journalist who has covered the impact of Covid-19 in Indiana since it entered public awareness. Shari Rudavsky, the health and medical reporter for the Indianapolis Star, wrote a front-page story last month that described the earliest Hoosier cases of Covid-19 that "provided a harbinger of dark days." Shari, who has a PhD in the history and sociology of science, wrote about the state's first case, which was diagnosed in early March 2020. A patient at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis, the man (whose name has never been released) "was well enough to ride out his illness in a hotel quarantined from his family," Shari reported. Much less fortunate a few weeks later was Roberta Shelton, 69, a beloved employee of a car rental company in Indianapolis and a tireless community volunteer known as "Birdie." She died at Community Hospital East and became the first coronavirus fatality in Indiana. Also in March 2020, Shari wrote about the challenges that suddenly were confronting hospitals in rural areas and small cities, including Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes. During our show, Shari and Nelson also will discuss an early outbreak in Logansport at a Tyson Foods meat-packing plant, the largest employer in Cass County. Shari also will share insights about, as she puts it, "the challenges of explaining new terminology and new science - such as coronavirus, spike protein [and] other terms - that previously were unknown to most readers, including myself." Last April, the state of Indiana signed a $43 million contract with Maximus, a health and human services provider, to assist state and local health departments in contact tracing. Analyzing the efforts several months later in an Indianapoli Star article, Shari wrote: "What effective contract tracing most requires is sufficient staff to reach out and conduct in-depth interviews with all touched by a virus. Until recently Indiana, like the rest of the nation, was woefully short-staffed." Shari also reported on why simple preventative measures to stop the spread took a long time to get through to much of the public. Drawing a comparison with the push years ago regarding seat belts in cars, analysts noted to her that many people "fought back when public health officials first started recommending everyone buckle up." Some Covid in Indiana history facts: The Hoosier diagnosed with the first case in the state "already suspected he had the virus" before he was tested at Community North, Shari reported. That meant the hospital staff could take proper precautions when he arrived. The extensive volunteer activities of Roberta "Birdie" Shelton, the first Hoosier to die from the coronavirus, included helping organize fund-raisers to assist the families of two girls from Delphi, Ind., who were murdered in 2017. The case, which continues to draw national publicity, remains unsolved. More than 12,840 people in Indiana have died of Covid-19. Since March 2020, more than 710,600 Hoosiers have tested positive for the coronavirus.

Our guest on today's episode is Darcie Green, who brings multiple identities to our conversation today. She's the daughter of a survivor, care giver, advocate, activist and the Executive Director of Latinas Contra Cancer. Latinas Contra Cancer is an organization with a mission to create an inclusive health care system that provides services to the underserved Latino population around issues of breast and other cancers. She's incredibly smart, so funny, and we had A LOT to talk about. This is the last episode of Season 2 of Black Cancer, and it exemplifies everything we've talked about on this platform AND more - more like understanding cancer through a social justice lens, examining the disproportionate philanthropic funding for organizations led by people of color and what our communities STILL do despite structural under-resourcing that determines our health. P.S. This episode aired the day the United States surpassed 500,000 COVID-19 deaths - half a million people. Disproportionately Black and Brown people. The racial inequities of the life-saving vaccine roll out was absolutely top of our minds - which is why this conversation started A BIT before I even had my microphone set up for our recording! hahaha. You won't want to miss a single moment of this episode. It's truly a master class in understanding so many dynamics of cancer care - and what we can learn about the interconnectedness of what care can look like for all our people. And as always, check out the show notes for links to what we talked about. Here's my conversation with Darcie: Darcie shares about how her father's journey grounded her work in community health advocacy (47:51) The strengths and expertise in self and communal advocacy already held in our communities (1:12:00) Disproportionality in funding and support for organizations led by and that serve communities of color (1:36:53) More on this episode: Good Samaritan Hospital in California: https://www.ktvu.com/news/good-sam-hospital-investigated-for-giving-vaccine-to-teachers-as-gifts Washington Heights Armory in NYC: https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/30/us/new-york-vaccine-disparities/index.html Just Medicine: A Cure for Racial Cure for Racial Inequality in American Health Care by Dayna Bowen Matthew — https://nyupress.org/9781479896738/just-medicine/ Social Determinants of Health: https://www.cdc.gov/socialdeterminants/about.html Latinas Contra Cancer website: http://latinascontracancer.org/ Latinas Contra Cancer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latinascontracancer/ Promatoras: https://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/promotores/index.html --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jodi-ann-burey/message
