Vanessa Sivadge, whistleblower, former Texas Children's Hospital nurse, and recipient of the Share the Arrows award, is back! Vanessa witnessed how the largest children's hospital in the country illegally used state funding to provide minors with transitioning procedures. While many in Vanessa's situation would simply quit, she chose to speak out; first anonymously in 2023, then publicly in 2024. After openly coming forward, she was fired from her job and now leads the organization Protecting Texas Children that fights for parental rights and advocates for children on a legislative level. She joins Allie to discuss how God has continued to write her story and how she is currently speaking the truth and fighting the ideology pushing the mutilation of children's bodies. The past few years have consisted of private back-and-forth conversations as the case against Texas Children's Hospital has unfolded. On May 15, 2026, the case concluded, and Texas Children's was required to pay a settlement. Along with the settlement, five physicians were fired, and America's first detransition clinic was established. Vanessa's story is an encouragement to Christians to speak the truth boldly even when it is difficult and a reminder that God can use them for His glory in the spheres of influence He has placed them.

Frontline healthcare workers and the patients they serve are facing a major crisis at the University of Vermont Health network—the state's leading healthcare provider. “In June, UVM Health eliminated over 140 positions across its network, a third of which were union positions,” Matt More reports at The Rake Vermont. “The cuts, which the hospital estimated will save $9.5 million, comes as the network faces a $300 million budget shortfall… Later that month, UVM Health handed down a speed-up order to its Medical Group, which includes outpatient clinics and more than 1,000 physicians, which practitioners say will result in briefer appointments with patients.”How did Vermont's flagship health network end up in this crisis? How is it affecting healthcare workers and their patients? And what can be done to fix it? In this episode of Working People, we speak with Melissa Lavallee, secretary of UVMMC Support Staff United and VP of healthcare for AFT-Vermont; and Teagan Cook, lead outpatient chemotherapy scheduler at her hospital and a chief steward in UVMMC Support Staff United.Additional links/info: UVMMC Support Staff United website, Facebook page, and InstagramAFT-Vermont website, Facebook page, and InstagramMatt Moore, The Rake Vermont, “UVM Health's unions fight hospital cuts to protect their patients' healthcare and their working conditions”Town Meeting TV, “Put workers and patients first! - Solidarity town hall meeting with UVM Medical Center unions”Olivia Gieger, VT Digger, “UVM Health cuts 142 jobs — an estimated $9.5 million in staff positions”Featured Music: Jules Taylor, Working People Theme SongCredits: Audio Post-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
What happens when a hospital trusts a robot as much as one of its own team members? In this episode of Outcomes Rocket, Saul Marquez speaks with Sultan Mehrabi, CEO of Relay Robotics, and Craig Anderson, Vice President of Innovation at BayCare, about how autonomous delivery robots are transforming hospital operations through a collaborative innovation partnership. They explain how Relay robots safely transport lab samples, medications, and other critical items, allowing nurses and pharmacy staff to spend more time on direct patient care while maintaining a secure chain of custody and reliable delivery. The conversation highlights that successful healthcare innovation depends less on adopting AI for its own sake and more on solving real workflow problems through close collaboration, user adoption, and continuous improvement. They also discuss why reliability, trust, and seamless integration into hospital infrastructure are essential for autonomous robotics to become accepted by clinicians, patients, and health systems alike. Learn how one health system is using autonomous robotics to improve patient care, reduce staff workload, and redefine what successful healthcare innovation really looks like!

Lainy Sharpe began to feel numbness in her legs, followed by paralysis when she was 12 years old in the summer of 2023. Her diagnosis was Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma, which as rare of a diagnosis as it gets. Lainy fought as hard as possible before passing away in January of 2025 and was very much a part of the Pediatric Cancer community during her fight, which was proven by her winning the Children's Healthy Hero Award for her dedication to helping others at Banner Children's Hospital in Tucson, Arizona.

An increase in car parking revenue generated at University Hospital Limerick has been described as “blatant profiteering off people in tragic situations”. HSE figures show revenue from parking charges at the hospital increased from €446,000 in 2021 to €1.44 million last year, representing an increase of more than 200%. The increase comes despite a commitment in the Programme for Government to reduce car parking costs at hospitals. HSE Regional Health Forum Midwest member and Shannonbanks Sinn Féin Councillor James Ryan has described the situation as “disturbing and wrong”.

After years of hearing traumatic birth stories and questioning whether parenthood was right for her, Heidi Gustad entered pregnancy determined to make informed decisions every step of the way. When she was diagnosed with insulin-managed gestational diabetes, debilitating migraines, and a rare umbilical cord abnormality called an umbilical vein varix, the birth center birth she had envisioned was suddenly no longer an option. In this episode, Heidi shares how evidence-based education, a supportive care team, and careful preparation helped her navigate unexpected changes with confidence. She and Dr. Dekker discuss what it was like to advocate for herself through multiple diagnoses, switch care providers late in pregnancy, and prepare for a hospital birth while still hoping for an unmedicated labor. Heidi also shares the surprising series of events that led to spontaneous labor before her scheduled induction, and how she welcomed her baby after a fast, nine-hour labor.

More than twenty years ago, Henci Goer's renowned book, The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth, profoundly shaped Cynthia's understanding of pregnancy and birth, setting her on the path that eventually led to her own natural births and a career in birth education and client advocacy. In this special conversation, we sit down with the author herself, now one of the most influential voices in evidence-based maternity care.Today, we discuss Henci's newest book, Taking Charge of Your Birth, along with evidence-based maternity care, physiologic birth, induction, cesarean prevention, and informed decision-making. Henci explains why "physiologic care" is about using the least intervention necessary—not avoiding intervention altogether—and why preserving a woman's agency may be one of the most important factors in creating a positive birth experience.We also explore the evidence surrounding induction, Bishop scores, Pitocin protocols, cesarean rates, choosing a care provider, the role of doulas, and why preserving a woman's agency may be one of the most important factors in creating a positive birth experience.Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth, this conversation offers practical, evidence-based guidance for taking charge of your birth.Choosing Induction: When it Might Be NeededHenci Goer's Website, Books, & ArticlesHenci Goer on Instagram**********Send us Fan Mail Support the showAccess our workshops: Have a Physiologic Birth in the Hospital and Ultrasound: The Research vs RhetoricNeeded
A Massachusetts State Police trooper walked the jury through the hours after Lindsay Clancy arrived at South Shore Hospital today, and it sounded less like a hospital admission and more like a custody transfer. Clancy, 34, of Duxbury, is on trial for the January 24, 2023 deaths of her three children — 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 7-month-old Callan — allegedly strangled with exercise resistance bands inside the family's Summer Street home. She faces three counts of murder and three counts of strangulation, has pleaded not guilty, and her attorney Kevin Reddington is running an insanity defense built on claims of severe postpartum psychosis and psychiatric overmedication.Trooper Dan Lawlor testified he served an evidence preservation order at the hospital and personally collected Clancy's clothing and jewelry, along with additional evidence. On cross, he confirmed she arrived without shoes. Then came the line that reframes the whole scene: Lawlor said he was stationed there to "maintain custody" of Clancy, which meant no visitors — not her lawyer, not anyone — until a court order allowed a psychiatrist in to see her. A hospital room, sealed off by court order. Sit with that for a second.Prosecutors maintain Clancy understood what she was doing regardless of her mental state. Clancy allegedly attempted suicide after the killings by jumping from a second-story window, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down. Her husband, Patrick Clancy, was running errands at the time and has since relocated to Manhattan. The trial continues in Plymouth Superior Court and is expected to run several weeks.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we are joined by John McDonagh, professor of practice at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, former Massachusetts state legislator, and key architect of Obamacare. He is here to discuss his new book, America's Wrong Turn: U.S. Healthcare in the Neoliberal Era – a searing diagnosis of how a revolution in economic thinking turned the American healthcare system into a global outlier.The United States spends more on healthcare than any other advanced nation – by a staggering margin – yet its health outcomes rank near the bottom. Life expectancy has been declining since 1980. The infant mortality rate is embarrassingly high. And while every other wealthy country covers 99–100% of its citizens, the U.S. still leaves millions uninsured.John explains how a single chart – showing U.S. healthcare spending as a percentage of GDP – reveals the story. In 1980, the U.S. was the highest spender but still in the pack. Then something happened. Around 1982–83, the U.S. "jackrabbited" away from every other nation. The culprit? The neoliberal revolution – the ideas of Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, and the Mont Pelerin Society – that captured American policy under Ronald Reagan and transformed healthcare from a public good into a site of value extraction.John traces how monopoly capitalism, private equity, and the mantra of "maximising shareholder value" have hollowed out the system. Hospitals are bought by private equity firms, stripped of their land and buildings, and turned into tenants paying exorbitant rents. Two companies now control 90% of dialysis care. Antitrust enforcement has collapsed. The result is a system that Americans hate – but feel powerless to change.Yet John is an optimist. He argues that the feedback loop of public revulsion is building, and that the neoliberal era – though its effects persist – is over. The seeds of hope lie in renewed antitrust activism, grassroots organising, and the eventual replacement of a corrupt administration.Topics covered:U.S. healthcare spending vs. outcomesThe 1980s inflection pointThe neoliberal revolution and its key thinkersMonopoly capitalism in healthcarePrivate equity and value extractionThe collapse of antitrust enforcementMilton Friedman's "shareholder value" doctrineThe NHS and the politics of healthcareHope for reformJohn McDonagh's America's Wrong Turn is published by Johns Hopkins University Press.

In the early morning hours of January 27, 2023, 19-year-old Artesia High School senior and cheerleader Alexee Trevizo arrived at Artesia General Hospital in New Mexico complaining of severe back pain. She was with her mother. Staff administered medications, including narcotics. Shortly afterward, Trevizo used a bathroom down the hall. Hospital housekeeping later discovered the body of a newborn boy in a plastic bag inside the bathroom trash can. An autopsy determined the infant—later named Alex Ray Fierro—had been born alive, had air in his lungs, and died from hypoxia consistent with being sealed in the bag. The manner of death was ruled a homicide. Morphine was also detected in the baby's system. Trevizo was eventually charged with first-degree murder and tampering with evidence. Prosecutors pointed to statements she allegedly made in her hospital room after the discovery, captured on police body cameras while a doctor and armed officers were present: words to the effect of “I'm sorry—it came out of me—I didn't know what to do,” along with claims the baby showed no movement or breathing.What followed has become one of the more closely watched legal fights in recent New Mexico true-crime cases. A district court suppressed those hospital statements and related video, citing physician-patient privilege and Trevizo's compromised medical condition (narcotics, significant blood loss, the trauma of an unexpected delivery). In a unanimous July 30, 2026 ruling, the New Mexico Supreme Court upheld the suppression.Justices described the doctor's approach—bringing officers into the room and disclosing medical information without warning—as an “ambush” and found Trevizo lacked the capacity to waive confidentiality. Prosecutors have said they still intend to pursue the case without that evidence. The defense maintains Trevizo did not know she was pregnant until she gave birth and contests key aspects of the medical findings and hospital response. A separate wrongful-death lawsuit has also been filed against the hospital and staff on behalf of the infant's estate.This episode examines the night at the hospital, the autopsy findings, the suppressed statements, the Supreme Court's blistering critique of how the confrontation unfolded, and the difficult questions the case continues to raise about pregnancy denial, medical privacy, and accountability when a newborn dies under these circumstances. The case remains pending.Chapters:06:02 ER Visit Turns Critical11:31 Bathroom Visit Sparks Suspicion20:07 Horrific Discovery in the Trash33:34 Autopsy Changes Everything45:56 Arrest Warrant Is Issued52:13 Murder Charge Under FireExposed Listener Deals!

In this episode, I'm joined by Tanya Chomyk, author of Bringing Light to Loss, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, and finding our way forward when life changes in ways we never expected.Tanya shares her deeply personal journey of losing her infant son and the many years it took to find meaning in that loss. We talk about allowing ourselves to truly feel our emotions, creating anchors to hold onto when life feels unsteady, and learning to have a relationship with grief rather than trying to push it away.Tanya also introduces her powerful distinction between “clean pain” and “dirty pain,” and shares her five-step approach to navigating loss and major life transitions: creating a safe space to feel, practicing self-compassion, finding moments of joy and gratitude, seeking connection when we're ready, and pacing our pain.This is a conversation about love, loss, healing, and the quiet ways resilience is built over time. And perhaps most importantly, it's a reminder that we don't have to see the light right away. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next breath, trust the process, and allow healing to unfold quietly.About Tanya ChomykTania Chomyk is a life transition expert, award-winning resilience speaker, and grief educator. With over 30 years of experience in higher education, career development, and personal growth, she helps people move through life's toughest moments with clarity, courage, and compassion.

Rich Morgan graduated from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1998, completed his residency at NYU Rusk Medical Center in 2002, and had everything a decade of medical school and training was supposed to produce — until a common dental procedure exposed him to opioids and changed the direction of everything he had spent his career building. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what the ten year opioid addiction that followed that dental procedure actually looked like, what writing fraudulent prescriptions to pharmacies to fuel his addiction and eventually selling prescriptions to drug dealers actually involved, what getting caught after a customer cooperated with the government actually felt like, and what being sentenced to 168 months in federal prison as a doctor — and navigating the federal system as a Jewish inmate — actually required of him before he was finally ready to rebuild what the addiction and the federal system had taken. _____________________________________________ #doctor #prison #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to HIMS & FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: Hims: Visit https://hims.com/lockedin to get a personalized, affordable plan that gets you. _____________________________________________ Factor: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until! _____________________________________________ Connect with Rich Morgan: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richmorgan8761/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-morgan-b45366143 _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introducing Rich Morgan 00:16 Growing Up on Long Island 01:04 Parents and Early Life 01:51 Dreaming of Medicine 02:17 The Incident That Inspired Him 03:33 Fascination with Fixing 04:33 Medical Shows and College 05:31 College and Med School 06:18 What is a DO? 08:46 DO vs MD Schooling 09:57 The Growing Prevalence of DOs 11:05 Salary and Residency 12:15 The First Pill 14:09 The Spiral Begins 15:12 The First Pill Experience 17:19 Dentists and Overprescription 19:30 Writing Himself Prescriptions 21:39 Life at the Height of Addiction 23:12 9/11 and Its Impact 26:10 Sponsor Break: Weight Loss by HIMS 27:33 No Oversight in Hospitals 28:56 Pharmaceutical Wild West 31:16 Self-Image and Dope Sickness 33:16 Patients and Slipping Up 38:53 The Deal with a Dangerous Patient 40:49 Arrest and the Fallout 44:00 Sponsor Break: Factor Meals 46:01 Released on Bail 49:01 Sentenced to 14 Years 52:32 Why No Manslaughter Charge? 56:56 The Real Reason for Selling 58:05 Wife's Reaction and Family Drama 01:01:50 Comparing Sentences: Jared Fogle 01:02:39 Meeting Mobsters in Prison 01:04:33 Father's Support 01:06:06 First Stop: Transfer to Prison 01:07:40 Life at Morgantown 01:12:44 Pedophiles in Prison 01:16:51 Respect as the Doctor 01:20:05 Medical Care in Prison 01:23:24 Jewish Power in the Federal System 01:27:00 Power of the Jewish Community 01:28:25 Money and Influence Behind the Scenes 01:31:03 Taking Advantage of Religious Rights 01:33:52 Smuggling and Prison Life 01:37:08 What Happened to His Medical License 01:43:13 A New Career at His Med School 01:48:49 A Bad First Date 01:51:15 Inmate Dating and Visiting Lists 01:56:40 Final Thoughts and Thanks _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Enderson Miranda sits down with Brian Floyd, Chief Operating Officer at ECU Health and chairman of the board for the North Carolina Health Care Association, to unpack a framework Brian calls the "six dimensions of rurality." Drawing on more than 30 years of healthcare leadership, coupled with the unique understanding of a clinician that practiced within the rural healthcare setting, Brian explains why treating rural healthcare as simply a geography problem misses the point, and why density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity together create structural barriers that urban-focused policy often fails to address. Brian also shares how ECU Health builds a sustainable workforce from within its own communities, using point-based admissions systems with local universities to keep talent close to home, and how the organization has partnered with AMN Healthcare to achieve conversion rates for international nurses well above the national average. The conversation closes with a candid look at the role technology can play in closing access gaps, and the advocacy work that healthcare leaders must take to ensure rural systems remain viable for the communities that depend on them. This episode offers healthcare leaders a clear and structural lens for evaluating rural care delivery, along with concrete workforce and policy strategies that translate directly into retention, access, and financial sustainability. Key Takeaways Rural healthcare needs a structural definition, not just a geographic one. Brian's six dimensions of rurality (density, distance, demographics, disease burden, determinants, and disparity) reframe how leaders and policymakers should evaluate rural care delivery. Hospital closures are the tail end of a much longer decline. Physician loss, specialty care exits, and reduced preventative services happen long before a hospital closes its doors. Payment reform must remain a top policy priority. Wage index adjustments and reimbursement structures often pay rural systems less for treating the same disease burden as urban systems. Local workforce investment drives long-term retention. ECU Health adjusts university admissions criteria to prioritize students from the communities it serves, growing local enrollment by over 10 percent. Mission-driven culture fuels nurse retention, both nationally and internationally. ECU Health converts more than 90% of international nurse placements into permanent employees, a rate significantly above national average. Technology can close access gaps that bricks-and-mortar models cannot. Telehealth and AI free up clinician time for direct patient care and extend reach across low-density rural regions.

At some point in their training or careers, most clinicians will experience intense stress, suffering, loss and critical incidents that can have lasting impacts on their psychological and emotional safety. Despite the prevalence of traumatic stress in healthcare settings, most care team members are not taught about the effects it can have on their mind and bodies. As a result, they normalize traumatic stress symptoms such as exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, emotional disconnection, or the inability to be fully present. In this episode of Caring Greatly, Marie Nutter, BSN, RN, CNOR, a practicing perioperative nurse and trauma-sensitive yoga educator, explores how traumatic stress shows up in the lives and bodies of healthcare workers. Marie describes how traumatic stress gets internalized when stress, grief and loss go unprocessed over time. Drawing from both her professional experience as a nurse and her own journey through personal loss, Marie shares how care team members often learn to push through adversity, only to discover that unresolved stress eventually returns through exhaustion, disconnection and difficulty of concentrating or being fully present.The conversation delves into the power of trauma-informed approaches to healing, including the role of body awareness, grounding practices and trauma-sensitive yoga. Marie explains how small, intentional moments of reconnecting with the body can help restore a sense of choice, presence and control. She also offers reflections on what healthcare organizations and leaders can do to better support their teams, emphasizing that trauma recovery is a shared responsibility that begins with recognizing that trauma is a natural adaptive response. Additionally, leaders can offer compassionate support and provide access to trauma-informed resources. As a seasoned nurse at M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, a trauma-sensitive yoga facilitator, and founder of Mayday Yoga, LLC, Marie educates people about the effects of traumatic stress and loss and how they might mitigate day-to-day exposure in real-time. Through 15 years of navigating high demands of perioperative nursing, 10 years of personal yoga practice, and seven years of offering trauma-informed wellness services to the healthcare community, Marie has learned that people's professional and human credibility are not defined by their ability to withstand difficult work-life events. In 2020, Marie was named an example of resiliency by Psychology Today Magazine, and she continues to offer individuals and work teams an opportunity to tap into their own inner wellness.Marie Nutter is a leader who cares greatly.Related links:Website: Mayday YogaArticle: 5 Mind-Body Exercises to Help Reduce Traumatic Stress Book: Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for OthersThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.

A golfer allegedly fakes a hole-in-one for thousands of dollars using a sick-grandma phone call as cover, and somehow that's only the beginning of today's nonsense.The Rizzuto Show is back with another funny podcast packed with St. Louis chaos, celebrity gossip, questionable decisions, movie arguments, music trivia, and the sort of stories that make you wonder how we've managed to keep microphones this long.The main event comes straight out of the St. Louis area, where a member golf tournament at WingHaven Country Club reportedly turned into an elaborate hole-in-one caper. According to the story, a golfer told his group that his grandma was in the hospital and he might need to step away for an important phone call. Totally understandable. Very wholesome. Absolutely nothing suspicious happening here.Then the call arrives near a par-three hole.He heads up alone, supposedly hits his tee shot while nobody is watching, and when everyone reaches the green… would you look at that? His ball is IN THE HOLE.A hole-in-one! What a miracle! Grandma must be so proud!There's just one tiny problem: cameras.The crew digs into the allegations that surveillance footage caught the golfer visiting the hole before the round, creating a divot and putting a ball in the cup. Suddenly, Grandma's hospital call becomes one of the most aggressively suspicious excuses in golf history. With reports that the hole-in-one pot may have been around $9,000, the guys debate the most important question: how much money does it take before you're willing to risk becoming the guy who allegedly invented a medical emergency for Grandma to cheat at golf?From there, this funny podcast moves naturally into the next logical subject: whether Jonah Hill could annihilate everyone in a fight.Hill's Brazilian jiu-jitsu confidence gets the Rizz Show treatment as the guys debate martial arts, celebrity bravado, Michael Cera's hypothetical fighting abilities and why the people who could actually fold you into a carry-on bag are usually the least interested in telling everybody about it.We also celebrate Missouri's birthday with a rundown of inventions, foods and famous names tied to the Show-Me State. Toasted ravioli? Obviously. Gooey butter cake? Put some respect on it. The microchip? Apparently Missouri has been doing a little more than deep-frying carbohydrates this whole time.Then Crap on Celebrities arrives with another truckload of entertainment gossip and pop culture commentary. Mark Zuckerberg's massive yacht gets dragged into controversy after a stranded boat reportedly needed help in Alaska. Britney Spears warns fans about a bad Botox experience. The crew gets into movie box-office numbers, Spider-Man, Super Troopers, Bugonia, Weapons and The Dink, because apparently nobody can simply say “I liked the movie” without turning it into a federal hearing.There's also Harry Potter actress Jessie Cave discussing the surprising money she's making on OnlyFans without nudity, Blink-182 heading back into the studio, Five Nights at Freddy's becoming an actual immersive restaurant experience, and a debate over the greatest new wave singers that quickly proves nobody is completely sure where “new wave” begins or ends.Add in Bob Marley's ridiculous Billboard longevity, the biggest-selling albums of all time, celebrity birthdays and the usual collection of side quests, arguments and unnecessary observations, and you've got another daily dose of The Rizzuto Show.It's celebrity news, weird news, St. Louis stories and sarcastic humor crammed into one comedy podcast — because apparently discussing an alleged fake hole-in-one for this long is considered a profession.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
