"We have a sick care system, not a healthcare system. The economic driver is to keep people as sick as possible for as long as possible so they keep coming back."In this eye-opening episode from our Design-Thinking Program for Health System, Clinical and Nursing Leaders, economist and nursing professor Dr. Olga Yakusheva exposes the truth about nursing's economic value and why our healthcare system continues to undervalue its most trusted profession.Drawing from both personal experience and rigorous research, Dr. Yakusheva reveals:• Why the nursing shortage isn't about too few nurses—it's about too few jobs nurses want to take • How the healthcare system financially rewards volume over quality (by a staggering 99:1 ratio) • Why nurses—5 million strong—must unify their collective voice for systemic change • How the Nursing Human Capital Value Model redefines nursing's worth and could transform healthcare economicsThis isn't just a conversation about nursing—it's about reimagining an entire economic model that currently rewards illness over wellness.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------JOIN THE MOVEMENT:GLLG Company Website: https://www.glennllopis.com/Age Of Personalization Website: https://ageofpersonalization.com/Contact Us: https://www.glennllopis.com/contact-us/Email Us: sandy@glennllopisgroup.comFOLLOW GLENN LLOPIS:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3tnBmP9Instagram: https://bit.ly/3fcziRVFacebook: https://bit.ly/33sCg1KTwitter: https://bit.ly/3HVT14B

KZN's Unemployed Doctors Take to the Streets Over Broken Promises and Health System Strain by Radio Islam

Palestinian paediatrician Abdalkarim Alharazin has seen more suffering and death than most over his time as a junior doctor on Gaza's frontlines. Amid relentless Israeli bombardment, displacement and starvation, he applied for and has been accepted into a master of public health at the University of Sydney. With significant hurdles ahead, logistically and financially, Alharazin joins Nour Haydar to talk about what he's witnessed and his plans to rebuild Gaza's health infrastructure

Chuck Todd begins with a scathing assessment of RFK Jr.'s dangerous tenure as health secretary, detailing how Kennedy has systematically dismantled America's public health infrastructure through lies, conspiracy theories, and decisions that will harm low-income children for decades to come. Todd chronicles Kennedy's destructive timeline from canceling $500 million in mRNA vaccine contracts to funding the largest anti-vaccination organization while lying during his Senate confirmation hearings, culminating in his role in triggering a massive measles outbreak that disproportionately affects vulnerable communities. The episode also covers Seattle's recent elections and Derek Dooley's Senate candidacy announcement in Georgia, while Todd warns that being an incumbent anywhere will be politically treacherous in the current climate. Throughout the discussion, Todd expresses frustration with Congress's silence on Kennedy's actions and the White House's nervousness about confronting what he calls "the least qualified person to lead public health," arguing that there needs to be far more public outrage over Kennedy's "menace" to American public health and the generational consequences of his anti-science agenda.Then, Dr. Terence Lester, an Atlanta-based community activist and educator, joins Chuck Todd to explore how America's growing inequality and resegregation are creating cycles of poverty that trap entire communities despite urban economic booms. Lester explains how Atlanta's prosperity has left many neighborhoods behind, with interstate highways deliberately used to segregate cities and redlining policies affecting not just housing but educational opportunities for generations. He argues that the resegregation of schools and society has contributed to America's current polarization, as many people never truly experienced integration and lack the diverse experiences necessary to build empathy across racial and economic lines. The conversation examines whether property taxes remain a viable method for funding schools, the critical role of impactful teachers in breaking cycles of poverty, and how top-down approaches often fail where community-stakeholder partnerships succeed.The discussion takes on urgent contemporary relevance as Lester warns that current affordability crises will create a "third era of mass homelessness" while communities increasingly criminalize rather than address the root causes of housing insecurity, which he argues violates the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment. He emphasizes education as the pathway to empathy and highlights the crucial role faith communities can play in restoring local connections, while addressing how the dismantling of the Department of Education has strained public school systems that could serve as 24-hour community resource centers. Throughout the conversation, Lester advocates for grassroots solutions that combine public policy with community engagement, arguing that sustainable change requires both faith in humanity and practical action to ensure schools and nonprofits can provide the wraparound services that struggling families need to break generational cycles of poverty and homelessness.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment!Timeline:(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)00:00 Introduction04:30 Elections held in Seattle06:30 Being an incumbent anywhere will be tough07:45 Derek Dooley announces senate candidacy in Georgia09:00 RFK Jr. is a menace to American public health10:00 Timeline of Kennedy dismantling American public health system12:30 RFK canceled $500 million in MRNA vaccine contracts13:45 RFK lied during senate confirmation hearings14:45 Kennedy funded largest anti-vax organization16:30 Kennedy is responsible for massive measles outbreak17:45 Low income children will pay the price for Kennedy's decisions18:45 The consequences will last for decades19:30 Congress has been silent on Kennedy, WH is nervous22:15 There needs to be more public outrage over Kennedy25:30 Kennedy is the least qualified person to lead public health27:00 Dr. Terence Lester joins the Chuck ToddCast! 29:00 Dr. Lester's origin story 32:00 How did so many areas of Atlanta fall behind as the city boomed? 34:00 Poverty was hard to escape in Atlanta in the 80's 34:30 The interstates were used to segregate cities 36:30 The importance of diversity of experience 37:45 Kids suffering from poverty can't connect with diverse experiences 39:15 The school system has resegregated 40:00 Redlining didn't just affect housing, it affected schooling 41:45 The ressegregation of society has led to polarization 43:15 Many people didn't really experience desegregation 45:00 The feeling of progress is relative 48:30 Is property tax an outdated way of funding schools? 50:15 The stakeholder approach vs the top-down approach 52:30 The importance of an impactful teacher for struggling students 54:00 The need to provide students with work readiness 56:30 Is the solution to homelessness public policy, or the community 57:30 Affordability will create a third era of mass homelessness 59:00 The rise of criminalizing homelessness 1:00:30 Punishing homelessness is a violation of the 8th amendment 1:01:45 The two narratives surrounding homelessness 1:03:00 The lack of empathy for the homeless 1:04:45 Education is the pathway to empathy 1:06:00 The role of the faith community in restoring local communities 1:10:00 Faith in humanity vs faith in the divine 1:11:45 How much strain has dismantling the Department of Education caused? 1:15:30 The role of nonprofits and foundations in working with public schools 1:17:00 Schools can be a 24 hour resource and center of a community 1:18:00 How can viewers/listeners contribute if they want to help? 1:19:15 Which Atlanta sports team affects the mood of the city most?1:21:45 Chuck's thoughts on conversation with Dr. Lester 1:22:15 Ask Chuck 1:22:30 Should congress outlaw political parties and create a wealth tax? 1:24:15 Why don't we have a "Meet the Press" for sports? 1:29:30 When will Republicans stop clinging to Trump? 1:33:30 Did Trump flip on Epstein over a real estate deal? 1:37:45 Insights on Brady House?

Consumerism is impacting all health systems but does this mean the same thing in the same way to academic medical centers, urban hospitals, and rural health systems? Reed Smith and Chris Boyer unpack the growing tension between what patients want and what different types of health systems are built to deliver. From broadband gaps in rural markets to brand-driven loyalty in AMCs, they explore whether “digital transformation” really means the same thing in each context—and what happens when strategy drifts from mission. Later, Chris sits down with Andy Chang, Chief Marketing Officer at UChicago Medicine, who shares how his team is driving consumer-centered digital strategy within the complexity of an academic medical center. It's a candid look at how one system is adapting to a consumer world, without losing sight of what makes it unique.

Janet Hayes shares her journey as a severe mental illness advocate reshaping New Orleans through innovative care systems for those with serious mental health challenges. • Started advocacy after Hurricane Katrina when untreated mental illness led to criminalization • Witnessed a friend die in custody due to inadequate mental health and medical care • Founded Healing Minds NOLA to create a "one-stop shop" for mental health care • Successfully led implementation of Assistive Outpatient Treatment courts in Louisiana • Working to reform the "15-day rule" limiting psychiatric hospitalization under Medicaid • Advocates need to understand their specific state systems rather than applying generic solutions • Louisiana has adequate psychiatric bed capacity but lacks long-term continuity of care • Policy barriers, not just funding issues, prevent effective treatment for severe mental illness • Ideological positions often prevent pragmatic solutions that could help vulnerable individuals • Advocates are more effective when they understand local systems and speak from experience https://whynotme.world intro/outro music written by T.
