In this impactful episode of the ConCensis podcast, host Yasmeen Hassan sits down with Robby Miller, Sterile Processing Manager at St. Joseph's Hospital Medical Center, to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the field of sterile processing. With nearly 30 years of experience in healthcare, Miller shares his journey from EMT to SPD leader, offering a candid look at how technology like CensisAI² is elevating efficiency, quality, and patient safety in surgical environments.Miller unpacks the evolving challenges in sterile processing—from regulatory compliance to managing increasingly complex surgical instruments—and explains how AI-driven tools are helping teams deliver cleaner, safer, and more reliable results. He also discusses the vital role of leadership in building processes, setting KPIs, and fostering a culture of continuous learning across healthcare teams.Key Takeaways:CensisAI² enables real-time tracking, performance coaching, and better compliance by transforming departmental data into actionable insights, allowing SPD leaders to fine-tune staffing, productivity, and tray quality with confidence.AI is helping reduce instrument errors and boost quality assurance by identifying trends in missing instruments, monitoring staff accuracy, and enabling predictive resource planning for high-volume surgical schedules.The future of sterile processing lies in automation and standardization, where tools like CensisAI² will support leaner tray assemblies, streamlined training for new technicians, and aggregated IFU data to ensure safer reprocessing at scale.Technology is most effective when paired with human leadership and clear communication, with Miller emphasizing the importance of educating staff on both the “how” and the “why” to drive successful tech adoption and buy-in.As sterile processing continues to evolve, Miller's insights highlight how AI can serve as an extension—not a replacement—of the skilled technicians behind the scenes. Through smart deployment and a commitment to excellence, the future of surgical safety looks brighter, more efficient, and more connected than ever.

Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview Dr. Margaret Collins, a professor of pathology at the University of Cincinnati and a staff pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Dr. Collins was a member of the task force that produced the Guidelines on Childhood EGIDs Beyond EoE. In this interview, Dr. Collins discusses the guidelines and how they were created and shares some of the results, including an algorithm for diagnosing non-EoE EGIDs. She shares why she specialized in EGIDs and what her hopes are for the future development of the guidelines.

Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:49] Ryan Piansky introduces the episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, and Regeneron, and co-host, Holly Knotowicz.   [1:13] Holly introduces today's topic, guidelines for childhood eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) beyond eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).   [1:27] Holly introduces today's guest, Dr. Margaret Collins, a professor of pathology at the University of Cincinnati and a staff pathologist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.   [1:38] Dr. Collins specializes in the pathology of pediatric gastrointestinal disease, especially EGIDs, and is a central pathology reviewer for the Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Researchers (CEGIR), as well as a member of APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council.   [2:11] As a pathologist, Dr. Collins examines biopsies microscopically. For EGIDs, she determines the peak count of eosinophils per high-power field, or reports the numbers of eosinophils in multiple high-power fields, and analyzes the tissue for additional abnormalities.   [2:33] Dr. Collins then issues a report that becomes part of the patient's medical record and is provided to the patient's doctor.   [2:41] The biopsies Dr. Collins examines may be the first biopsies for a diagnosis, or follow-up biopsies to determine response to therapy, or as part of ongoing monitoring to determine if inflammation has returned even if the patient has no symptoms.   [3:07] Dr. Collins was inspired to specialize in EGIDs after speaking with patients with EGIDs. She used to give tours of the pathology lab at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. She met affected children and their caregivers. Their courage and gratitude moved her.   [3:43] Ryan mentions the wonderful patients and their families in the APFED community. Holly says that as a patient, it's fascinating to meet a pathologist. Pathologists are generally behind the scenes.   [4:42] Dr. Collins specializes in GI pathology, including eosinophilic-related conditions in the GI tract. EoE, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis.   [5:16] In January 2024, “Guidelines on Childhood EGIDs Beyond EoE” were published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition. Dr. Collins served on the task force that prepared the guidelines.   [5:35] Non-EoE EGIDs affect all sites of the GI tract except the esophagus. All sites of the GI tract except the esophagus normally have eosinophils in the mucosa, which complicates the diagnosis.   [6:03] Like EoE, the diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs is made after known causes of tissue eosinophilia are excluded.   [6:28] Consensus guidelines help bring attention to best practices and encourage uniformity of practices.    [6:50] This is especially important for rare diseases and for centers that see fewer patients with rare diseases than the more specialized centers. Guidelines based on the best information available help these centers.   [8:03] The best distribution of guidelines is to publish them in the medical literature and sometimes in multiple journals to target audiences of allergists, gastroenterologists, and pathologists. Guidelines may be presented at national meetings to increase awareness.   [8:36] Several specialties are involved in the care of patients who have EGIDs. If patients or caregivers learn of published guidelines, they can also inform their providers.   [9:23] Insurance is a big issue for so many patients. Getting coverage for both diagnostic and treatment options can be complex.    [9:50] The guidelines may be helpful to insurance companies to accept that a certain drug is needed by a patient with a certain condition. However, if the sequence suggested in the guidelines is not followed, there may be difficulty getting coverage in the U.S.   [11:11] Patients can advocate for themselves with insurance companies by explaining that the order of testing is not important but getting the recommended tests done is important.    [11:55] The greatest challenge the task force faced was the lack of large clinical studies and quality research reports. We're making progress in this field but we're at the beginning. Dr. Collins is hopeful that progress will be made in the next two to three years.   [12:24] When there were knowledge gaps, the task force filled them in with their published research and their own experiences. It's always reassuring to have a well-conducted clinical study that verifies that your thinking is correct.   [13:29] How long did it take the task force to create these guidelines? Longer than they wanted it to take! The years they put into composing these guidelines were greater due to the interruption caused by the [COVID] pandemic. They all felt good when they finished.   [14:18] The guidelines were written by 26 authors from five continents. These are international guidelines.   [14:44] Dr. Collins highlights the pathology. The guidelines state that non-EoE EGIDs should be considered clinicopathologic diagnoses, as EoE is, meaning that biopsies from the affected site in the bowel must show excess eosinophils.   [15:10] The guidelines, for the first time, recommend threshold eosinophil values for a diagnosis in the parts of the GI tract other than the esophagus. For a diagnosis of EoE, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 15 eosinophils per high-power field.    [15:36] The guidelines now recommend that for a diagnosis of eosinophilic gastritis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 30 eosinophils per high-power field is present.   [15:48] For a diagnosis of eosinophilic duodenitis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 50 eosinophils per high-power field. For a diagnosis of eosinophilic ileitis, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 60 eosinophils per high-power field.   [16:03] For a diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis in the right colon, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 100 eosinophils per high-power field. For a diagnosis of eosinophilic colitis in the transverse and descending colon, a threshold value of greater than or equal to 80 eosinophils per high-power field. [16:12] For a diagnosis in the rectosigmoid, a threshold of greater than or equal to 60 eosinophils per high-power field.   [16:18] These numbers may change over time. One or more thresholds will likely change as we gain more experience with these diseases. The pattern won't change.   [16:29] Several studies have shown that the normal pattern of eosinophil presence in the mucosa in the GI tract is that the number increases from the stomach to the right colon and then decreases throughout the colon to the rectosigmoid.   [17:40] When giving tours of the hospital, Dr. Collins found that people understood better when they knew the numbers and could see the slides of their biopsies.   [18:48] Dr. Collins found literature reviews that suggested that the GI mucosa was often normal in non-EoE EGIDs. She believes that in the next few years, as we publish more and gain more experience, we will realize that is not the case.   [19:14] There is already a method for scoring the mucosa in the stomach in eosinophilic gastritis (EoG) and there are abnormalities found in a majority of patients. We have to work on the rest of the GI tract.   [19:35] Dr. Collins was surprised that there's not very good information about the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in eosinophilic gastritis and eosinophilic duodenitis. There haven't been studies about that. We need to work on that, too.   [20:47] Dr. Collins isn't sure we can recognize misconceptions about non-EoE EGIDs at this point. It might be premature to label any belief as a misconception. We thought that eosinophils were responsible for all symptoms in EoE, but we know now that is not true.   [21:10] Dr. Collins thinks we need to wait a bit before we decide that we know for sure all about non-EoE EGIDs. Ryan is excited to learn what the research will show us next.   [21:44] Holly loved learning about the algorithm in the guidelines.   [22:01] Dr. Collins says this is the first effort to create uniformity in the way in which non-EoE EGIDs are diagnosed. This algorithm can change over time. It provides signposts for the diagnosis, based on the information we have currently.   [22:20] The diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs should rest on symptoms and the detection of dense eosinophilic inflammation in the mucosa by biopsy and the absence of evidence of other diseases, such as parasitic and other diseases, that might cause dense eosinophilic inflammation in the GI tract.   [22:46] The algorithm suggests that the particular anatomic site or sites in the GI tract responsible for the symptoms should be determined, for example, eosinophilic gastritis or eosinophilic colitis.   [23:03] The algorithm also suggests that the involved part of the wall in the involved anatomic site should be identified.   [23:13] For example, if the symptoms are suggestive of mucosal disease, without deeper mural or wall involvement, the clinical investigation can proceed directly to endoscopy.   [23:26] However, if symptoms suggest partial or complete bowel obstruction, which is typical of deep muscular involvement, then imaging studies should be considered before proceeding to endoscopy, to confirm or refute that there is a bowel obstruction.   [23:47] If the obstruction is identified, a full-thickness biopsy of the bowel wall may be indicated, possibly requiring a non-endoscopic surgical procedure. If obstruction is not identified, then the investigation can proceed to endoscopy.   [24:05] If there is abdominal distension, suggestive of fluid accumulation, consideration should be given to sampling the fluid, using a needle to pull some fluid out to determine if there are numerous eosinophils in the fluid that would indicate eosinophilic ascites, with the eosinophilic inflammation involving the outer lining of the bowel wall.   [24:41] The signposts are a little involved. They are a reasonable way to approach working up a diagnosis of non-EoE EGIDs.   [25:34] How is EoE ruled out before using this algorithm? It's sometimes difficult to distinguish symptoms that are relevant only to the esophagus and symptoms that are relevant only to the stomach.   [26:26] Someone with upper tract symptoms only will have an upper tract endoscopy, especially if that person has mucosal symptoms that seem to be relevant to the mucosa only. The best thing is to take biopsies of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum to be sure where the eosinophil infiltrate is.   [27:06] If the person has lower tract involvement only, such as diarrhea and lower abdominal pain, and no upper tract symptoms, a transnasal endoscopy could be used to determine if there is EoE in addition to the non-EoE EGIDs. Each case is different.   [29:12] As a pathologist, Dr. Collins has seen the guidelines for treating eosinophilic conditions evolve. They've become more specific as our knowledge of the data concerning the disease has increased. PPIs are now considered a treatment for EoE.   [30:12] Dr. Collins says we need clinical trials testing therapies in children and adults with non-EoE EGIDs. We need to determine which patients have single-site disease and will only have single-site disease, and which patients may develop multi-site EGIDs.   [30:42] Those aspects will be addressed in the next version of CEGIR, if it's funded.   [30:49] Ryan tells Dr. Collins it's been fantastic having her on the show. This has been a good overview of non-EoE EGIDs and the new methods clinicians are looking into to help people get a better diagnosis and treatment.   [31:11] Dr. Collins says we don't have validated instruments yet to measure symptoms, evaluate the mucosa, and evaluate the biopsies under the microscopes. We need to create those validated tools to help us determine the significance of our findings.   [31:31] Some data strongly suggest that eosinophilic colitis is different from the rest of the EGIDs; certainly from the upper tract EGIDs. We need to move more deeply into what eosinophilic colitis actually is.   [32:05] For our listeners, feel free to check out the article we've been mentioning in the show notes. We'll include a link to it.   [32:11] For those of you who would like to learn more about eosinophilic disorders, please visit APFED.org and check out the links in the show notes.   [32:18] If you're looking to find a specialist who treats eosinophilic disorders, we encourage you to use APFED's Specialist Finder at APFED.org/specialist.   [32:27] If you'd like to connect with others impacted by eosinophilic diseases, please join APFED's online community on the Inspire Network at APFED.org/connections.   [32:36] Ryan thanks Dr. Collins for joining us today for this great conversation.

Ela se formou em pediatria no Children's Hospital Medical Center em Cincinnati, Ohio, e em neonatologia no Medical University Hospital em Charleston, Carolina do Sul. Ela praticou neonatologia, o cuidado de recém-nascidos doentes e prematuros, por trinta anos e foi diretora médica fundadora de duas unidades de terapia intensiva neonatal na área de Tampa Bay, na Flórida. Mais recentemente, ela atuou no extremo oposto do espectro, prestando cuidados paliativos domiciliares e avaliações de riscos à saúde.  Em 2008, uma intervenção nutricional cetogênica com coco e óleo de triglicerídeos de cadeia média ajudou dramaticamente seu marido Steve Newport, que tinha início precoce da doença de Alzheimer, resultando em quase quatro anos de melhor qualidade. Seu marido perdeu a batalha em 2016. A Dra. Newport continua seu legado como autora de quatro livros e palestrante internacional sobre cetonas como combustível alternativo para o cérebro. Seu quarto livro, Clearly Keto for Healthy Brain Aging and Alzheimer's Prevention, concentra-se em uma dieta cetogênica de estilo mediterrâneo com alimentos integrais e outras modificações no estilo de vida para ajudar a manter a saúde do cérebro e prevenir a doença de Alzheimer e outras demências.

Optum Rx serves more than 62 million people, processes 1.6 billion prescriptions and generates more than $110 billion of revenue annually. Dr. Patrick Conway, CEO of Optum Rx, is the third and final guest in a series of Healthcare is Hard episodes exploring the transformation of the pharmacy business – following conversations with Mark Cuban and Dr. Troyen Brennan.Dr. Conway brings an expansive view of the healthcare system to this discussion and his role leading one of the most influential organizations in the pharmacy space. He became CEO of Optum Rx in August 2023 and before that, served as CEO of Care Solutions at Optum for more than three years. He was president and CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina for two years and spent more than six years at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services where he held several positions including Chief Medical Officer, Director of CMMI, and Deputy Administrator for Innovation and Quality. Before joining CMS, he oversaw clinical operations and quality improvement at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and he is still a practicing pediatrician in Boston where he occasionally works at an area medical center on weekends.Some of the topics Dr. Conway discussed with Keith Figlioli in this episode of Healthcare is Hard include:VBC – A way or THE way. As someone who has spent a significant portion of his career focused on improving cost and quality in the U.S. healthcare system, Keith starts the interview asking Dr. Conway for his perspective on value-based care. Dr. Conway says we can either figure out VBC, or raise taxes and reduce benefits, noting that the American public would not be happy about the latter. He firmly believes that VBC is THE way through. He discussed the positive impacts he's witnessed from VBC, and how he believes it's been a major contributor to slowing the growth of healthcare costs over a significant period of time. However, he's concerned about how the transition to VBC has slowed.Affordable innovation. When discussing the extremely high cost of new specialty drugs, Dr. Conway points out that innovation is useless if it's unaffordable and inaccessible to people. He shared personal stories contrasting very difficult conversations he's had with parents in the past about the failing health of their children, and a more recent experience where Optum Rx delivered a new gene therapy to a child with a rare disease who will now live a full life. With therapies like that one costing $3 million, Dr. Conway discussed his views on some of the public and private financing options that could help improve access to life-changing therapies while still rewarding the innovators.Choice and transparency. Dr. Conway explains some of the solutions Optum Rx has brought to market to serve its customers, and areas where the company is exploring new solutions to keep customer satisfaction high. While customers are happy with Optum Rx, he makes it clear that continuously developing new solutions to stay ahead of a fast-evolving market is essential. During this discussion, customer choice – for both patients and the employers who fund their benefits – is a recurring theme and a major focus.To hear Dr. Conway and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

Bio: Dr. Papineau moved to Indianapolis to attend Butler University where he earned his doctorate ofpharmacy degree (PharmD). He worked as a licensed pharmacist for two years before starting dental school at Indiana University School of Dentistry. After graduation from dental school, Dr. Papineau completed his pediatric dental residency at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Gershkovich has been held in Moscow’s Lefortovo pre-trial detention centre for months after being arrested and charged with "espionage." Previous attempts to free him via the Russian legal system have come up fruitless. According to the Washington Post, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov explained on Tuesday that officials "don't want [the details] discussed in public," adding that prisoner swap negotiations "must be carried out and continue in complete silence." The Russian government has appeared willing to swap US-held prisoners for Gershkovich, however, Deputy Foreign Minister said earlier this year that talks would only begin after the journalist's trial had ended. Gershkovich and the US have tried to hasten proceedings, but it has been to no avail. Last week, a Russian court determined that he had to remain in pre-trial detention at Lefortovo until August 30. On Monday, US Ambassador to Russia, Lynne Tracy, met with Gershkovich and noted that he "is in good health and remains resilient despite the circumstances." She expressed hope that the Russian government would "provide regular consular access." As the Wall Street Journal reports, White House officials stated on Tuesday, "While we unfortunately do not have a breakthrough to share, we continue to pursue every avenue to secure the release of Evan Gershkovich." The US government, including Ambassador Tracy, has maintained Gershkovich's innocence and slammed the Russian government over his treatment. "The accusations against Gershkovich are unfounded," she said, "and we call on the Russian authorities to release the journalist immediately." The Wall Street Journal also stood with Gershkovich, stating,"Evan is a member of the free press who right up until he was arrested was engaged in news-gathering. Any suggestions otherwise are false." The first US journalist to be detained in Russia on charges of spying since the Cold War, Gershkovich could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty. Now this! Another whoopsie from the government! https://justthenews.com/accountability/waste-fraud-and-abuse/usda-says-it-overpaid-10-food-stamp-benefits-2022-program USDA says it overpaid 10% of food stamp benefits in 2022 as program doubled from 2019 Largely due to unintentional mistakes" by the government or households, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said it overpaid Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits in 10% of cases, The Washington Times reports. The government either wrongly determined households were eligible for the program better known as food stamps or overestimated how much they were due, while 2% were deemed underpayments. The total rate of under- and overpayments was lower before the COVID-19 pandemic: 7.4% in 2019 and 6.8% in 2018. States varied widely in how accurate their payments were, with Alaska the worst at overpayment with 57% and South Dakota the best at under 3%. The program has also doubled since 2019, reaching $113.9 billion from $55.6 billion. It now covers 41 million Americans with an average payment of $230 per month. The Government Accountability Office also released figures Friday of overpayment across the federal government in fiscal 2022, $247 billion, while cautioning the figure is an estimate because the government cannot "determine the full extent to which improper payments occur." Now to Los Angeles we go… https://thepostmillennial.com/los-angeles-homeless-population-spikes-to-more-than-46000?utm_campaign=64487 Los Angeles County homeless population spikes to over 75,000 Homelessness has increased by ten percent in the city of Los Angeles, and it has increased in Los Angeles County by nine percent. According to the 2023 Greater Los Angeles homeless count results conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), Los Angeles County’s homeless population increased to approximately 75,518, an increase from 69,144 in 2022. In the City of Angels, the number of homeless people increased to approximately 46,260 people, an increase from 41,980 people in 2022. Earlier this year, it was revealed that California holds half of all “unsheltered people” in the US. Dr. Va Lecia Adams Kellum, chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, said, “The homeless count results tell us what we already know, that we have a crisis on our streets, and it’s getting worse.” Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn called the results “disappointing,” writing in a statement, “It is frustrating to have more people fall into homelessness even as we are investing hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and resources into efforts to bring people inside. I appreciate the cities that have stepped up and supported solutions, but these numbers prove that solutions-oriented cities are too few and far between.” Los Angeles officials challenged the accuracy of the 2022 LAHSA count that reported finding zero homeless people in Venice Beach, an area known for its massive homeless problem. As a result, the county used a new counting app and hired a demographer and two data scientists. Though Democratic Mayor Karen Bass has claimed at least 14,000 homeless people have been moved into interim or permanent housing under her administration, it was revealed earlier this year that the city was spending over $800,000 per housing unit. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority made a point of emphasizing that Los Angeles is not the only major US city to see an increase in its homeless population, noting that Chicago saw a 57 percent increase and Portland saw a 20 percent hike. According to the agency, in California, Kern County saw a 22 percent increase, San Bernardino County a 26 percent increase, San Diego County a 22 percent increase, and Riverside County a 12 percent increase. Earlier this month, San Diego and Portland approved homeless camping bans. Moving on… Do you guys remember that Children’s hospital in Boston that was exposed for performing gender mutilation & sterilazation on kids? https://townhall.com/tipsheet/miacathell/2023/07/04/boston-childrens-hospital-dethroned-n2624870 Children's Hospital Caught Trans-ing Kids No Longer No. 1 for Pediatric Care For the first time in a decade, Boston's Children's Hospital—which was exposed last year for its experimental genital mutilation, sterilization, and chemical castration of minors identifying as "transgender"—is no longer the no. 1 pediatric medical center in America. Since 2014, Boston Children’s Hospital has claimed the top spot on U.S. News and World Report's honor roll rating the best pediatric-care facilities in the nation. But, the consumer-ranking giant's 2023 - 2024 list published on June 21 has dethroned the Beantown-based institution, the leading recipient of pediatric-research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In the latest rankings, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center took the crown, with Boston Children's Hospital bumped to second place. U.S. News and World Report collected data from almost 200 medical centers through an annual survey that examines a myriad of criteria, such as patient safety, clinical outcomes, and surgical success. Each hospital's score was derived from a nationwide polling of 15,000-plus pediatric specialists, who were asked "where they would send the sickest children in their specialty." Among its LGBTQ-centered departments, Boston Children's Hospital is home to the Gender Multispecialty Service (GeMS) clinic, the "first pediatric and adolescent transgender health program" in the U.S. Serving more than 1,000 families to date, GeMS has expanded to "treat" patients as young as three-years-old. The hospital's Center for Gender Surgery offers surgical mutilation to gender-dysphoric teenagers, including vaginoplasties for 17-year-old boys (Boston Children's Hospital has since quietly changed the age minimum); metoidioplasties and phalloplasties; and chest reconstruction and breast augmentation for 15-year-old kids. Now, the age range has been raised to 18-years-old in the hospital's official guidance. Removal of the testicles is often performed at the same time as a vaginoplasty, which requires a lifetime of dilation,, and can leave the patient sterile. Boston Children's Hospital, whose tagline is: "Until every child is well," was caught promoting "gender-affirming hysterectomies" for "trans youth" in a now-scrubbed video, which was part of a 90-part series that positively frames the medical butchery without addressing the irreversible damage that it does to the human body. Other topics highlighted in the series include "Why is hair removal necessary before phalloplasty?" and "Fertility preservation: What transgender patients should know." Salvaged by Libs of TikTok, an archived version of the 33-second hysterectomy footage shows a smiling Dr. Frances Grimstad of Boston Children's Hospital Division of Gynecology happily describing, as upbeat background music played, the medically unnecessary operation that can render (otherwise) physically healthy patients infertile by removing female reproductive organs. Another since-deleted video posted to the hospital's YouTube channel showed a psychologist claiming that "a good portion" of children she sees at Boston Children's Hospital GeMS clinic know they're transgender "from the womb.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1649007304774123521 - Play Video In a Journal of the American Medical Association article that Boston Children's Hospital GeMS co-director Dr. Oren Ganor authored on "Streamlining Interstate Access to Gender-Affirming Surgeries," the plastic and reconstructive surgeon called for a drastic increase in "clinician capacity" for children to be subjected to "sex-change" surgeries. Ganor also urged a ramping up of "training efforts" at medical school residency programs to instruct future physicians on performing "transgender" procedures. The local NPR news station WBUR reported in 2018 that Ganor wrote in an email that Boston Children's Hospital is "slightly flexible" when it comes to the age acceptance of biological males seeking genital surgery "because of the difficulty young women can experience accessing gendered spaces—like dorms and bathrooms—if they still have male genitalia." The hospital's policy had not yet been finalized, Ganor said, "because of the issue around consent for sterilization (which is part of the procedure)." Now, in entertainment news… https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/07/03/after-the-walt-disney-company-canned-chief-diversity-officer-latondra-newton-warner-bros-discovery-and-netflix-lose-their-diversity-heads/ After The Walt Disney Company Canned Chief Diversity Officer Latondra Newton, Warner Bros. Discovery And Netflix Lose Their Diversity Heads At the end of June it was revealed that The Walt Disney Company’s Chief Diversity Officer Latondra Newton was no longer with the company. Now Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix’s have also seen their diversity heads leave their respective companies. Variety announced Newton had left The Walt Disney Company after they obtained an internal company memo on June 20th from the company’s HR chief Sonia Coleman. Coleman wrote in the memo, “I’m writing to share the news that Latondra Newton has decided to leave The Walt Disney Company to pursue other endeavors.” Coleman went on to reveal that Julie Merges would take on Newton’s role on an interim basis as the company looked for a new DEI leader, “Latondra’s direct reports will report to Julie Merges on an interim basis until a new DEI leader is identified. I want to thank Julie for leading this team along with her Talent Acquisition organization.” “Additionally, Shelby Curry and the DEI Internal Communications team will continue reporting to Carrie Brown in her role leading internal communications & engagement for the company,” Coleman wrote. Following Newton’s exit, TheWrap reported that Netflix’s head of inclusion strategy Vernā Myers was stepping down from her position at the company in September. While she is exiting the company as head of inclusion strategy she will still advise the company albeit the report notes she will be focusing primarily on her consulting company, The Vernā Myers Company. Unlike The Walt Disney Company, Netflix appears to have a replacement for Myers already lined up in Wade Davis. Davis is currently the Vice President of Inclusion Strategy and worked under Myers for four years. In a statement Myers said, “It’s hard to step away from the company and this role because of how much I love Netflix and the people here. I’m so excited for the talented Wade Davis who will be taking the lead of the I-and-D work along with our incredible inclusion strategy team and I can’t wait to see the continued progress we all will make together.” At the end of June, Los Angeles Times reported that Warner Bros. Discovery axed its diversity leader Karen Horne, who was the company’s Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in North America. According to the outlet’s sources her departure from the company was announced on June 28th and the company’s spokeswoman Megan Klein informed the outlet she was not let go due to Warner Bros. Discovery’s “cost-cutting but rather a rethinking and reorganization of the company’s diversity organization.”
