On the Integrated Care Podcast, host Grace Pratt and co-hosts Jen Thomas, Deepu George, Monica Williams, Neftali Serrano, and Ashley Garrison welcome child and adolescent psychiatrist (and former pediatrician) Dr. Mary Dobbins to discuss an HHS announcement, highlighted at a May 4 summit with the Maha Institute, about reducing over-prescribing of psychiatric medications and supporting alternatives. The panel explores mixed reactions: agreement that de-prescribing and holistic supports matter, but concern that the messaging can fuel mistrust, stigma, and fear-mongering, and that proposed solutions lack practical infrastructure for psychotherapy, family support, and nutrition. Dobbins emphasizes that most childhood mental health problems are experiential, often tied to trauma, poverty, and social stressors, and argues for relational, trauma-informed, team-based care alongside appropriate medication use. The episode closes with a Mary Oliver reading about teaching children.

What does it actually cost when a doctor writes a verbal order over the phone instead of seeing the patient? Scott Middleton has the receipts — and the answer is going to make you rethink everything about how American healthcare spends its money. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott announces a landmark three-way merger bringing Your Health together with Transitional Care Professionals of America (TCPA) out of Georgia and Providence Care, a hospice organization in South Carolina. The combined organization will serve approximately 55,000 active patients — not patients on a list, but people being seen regularly — and Scott lays out exactly how he's going to run it. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Scott's family owning 80% of the merged company changes everything about how decisions get made — and who they get made for The difference between fee-for-service and value-based care, and why the ACO model means every unnecessary hospitalization literally comes out of Your Health's pocket How Your Health's risk-adjustment-based visit model (16 visits per year per risk point) was independently validated by a new government study — and why it works The three things Scott is asking every new employee to do in the first weeks: align with a nurse practitioner, track every minute of care management, and recruit like their livelihood depends on it — because it does Why Scott's new management philosophy is six words: "Keep them out of the hospital and see your damn patients" This isn't a corporate announcement. It's a playbook for how healthcare can actually work when operators run the company, providers see their patients, and every minute of care gets counted. www.YourHealth.Org

What if every "non-compliant" patient was actually a signal that the system isn't working for them? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Jaclyn Taylor, Clinical Strategy Director at Your Health and a nurse practitioner who started her career as a home-based provider in 2020 — thrown straight into the fire of COVID, isolated patients, and a healthcare world rewriting itself in real time. What she saw inside patients' homes — medications scattered on tables, food insecurity, missing transportation — changed how she thinks about every chart she's ever read. You'll hear: Why a nurse-first pathway gives nurse practitioners a fundamentally different lens than a medical school pathway — and why patients feel it What working across home care, telehealth, trauma, and wellness teaches you about treating the whole human, not just the diagnosis Why trauma surgery turned Jacqueline into a believer in proactive, longitudinal care — and what gets missed when we only meet patients after something has already gone wrong The two words she uses to describe what's most broken in traditional healthcare: fragmentation and misalignment How empathy stops being a poster and starts being operational — built into the design of care itself If you've ever felt invisible inside the healthcare system, or if you're the one trying to fix it, this conversation reframes the whole game.

In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to break down why behavioral health belongs inside primary care—not outside it. Jimmie explains how telehealth lowered stigma, how mental health diagnoses (“F codes”) often correlate with frequent ER use, and why Your Health moved from intuition to data-driven referral models using tools like Power BI. They also map the full behavioral health ecosystem—from psych nurse practitioners to therapists to the psych pharmacist—and clarify when and how teams should refer patients for the right level of support. The takeaway is simple: earlier behavioral health intervention can improve lives, reduce hospital visits, and strengthen value-based care outcomes system-wide. www.YourHealth.Org
Ep. #91Navigating Challenges and Innovations in Integrated Care by Collaborative Family Healthcare Association
This podcast, a presentation at the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association 2025 conference in Raleigh, North Carolina, explores the intersection of behavioral healthcare in primary care settings through two Integrated Care models: the collaborative care model (CoCM) and the primary care behavioral health model (PCBH). CoCM utilizes a structured interdisciplinary approach to deliver evidence based behavioral interventions alongside medication recommendation and management. PCBH adopts an integrated care approach, embedding behavioral health consultants within the primary care setting, making it easier for patients to receive holistic treatment. We will discuss key components, patient outcomes, collaboration, techniques, and lessons learned in an academic family medicine clinic.
Key TakeawaysEveryone can be an investigator: Observing subtle changes in behavior, sleep, decision-making, or life management can reveal early signs of behavioral health needs.Integration matters: Combining behavioral and physical health care improves outcomes, prevents avoidable hospital visits, and reduces overall healthcare costs.Impact beyond the patient: Supporting behavioral health has ripple effects on families, caregivers, and communities, improving overall system well-being.Life transitions are critical points: Changes in living situations, cognitive decline, or significant life events are opportunities for early intervention.Collaboration is key: Cognitive behavioral specialists, nurses, primary care providers, and facility staff must work together to ensure timely and effective care.Innovation brings hope: Emerging research, new care models, and broader conversations about mental health as part of overall wellness are reshaping healthcare for the better. www.YourHealth.Org
Key TakeawaysBehavioral health and physical health are inseparable and must be treated togetherChronic illness often worsens anxiety, depression, and isolation — especially in aging populationsFear and stigma continue to prevent many patients from seeking behavioral health supportIntegrated care teams reduce gaps, improve communication, and catch issues earlierAnxiety and depression can masquerade as “normal aging” but are highly treatableCareful psychiatric medication management improves both emotional and physical outcomesOver-communication across care teams prevents patients from falling through the cracksAddressing behavioral health empowers patients to actively engage in their treatment plansNormalizing behavioral health conversations is essential to long-term recovery and stability www.YourHealth.Org

Gerascophobia is the fear of aging or getting older. This fear, according to today's podcast guest, Kelly Tremblay, PhD, can not only make us sick, but can also be combatted by engaging in wellness activities such as book clubs or walking clubs—or even by listening to an inspiring podcast. What's more, doing the work to counter the fear can actually help change the trajectory of our health as we get older. Tremblay, who is an audiologist and neuroscientist, and who co-authored the World Health Organization's (WHO) new guidelines on integrated care for older people, examines the impact of neuroscience on longevity how it has shaped her life and work. As Trembly sits down with Susan Ryan to talk about her research in neuroplasticity, hearing loss, and communication disorders, they discuss her work as a professional coach, healthy workplaces, and how her personal life has coincided with her work.
