Whole-person health starts with whole-family care—and that begins with a provider who sees you, hears you, and truly walks beside you. Dr. Marion Pierson brings decades of heart-led pediatric experience to the conversation, showing how health is more than check-ups and prescriptions—it's about relationships, rest, and raising kids in rhythm with both structure and freedom. Her passion for serving her Kansas City community is palpable, and her insight into direct primary care reminds us that when families are empowered with knowledge, time, and trust, they don't just survive—they thrive. Key Takeaways: Community-based care thrives when families feel seen, supported, and invited into the healthcare process. Simple habits like sleep, hydration, and nutrition can dramatically shift a child's mood, focus, and overall well-being. Transitions, like summer break, can be both freeing and disruptive—maintaining flexible routines helps children stay grounded. Parents' self-care directly impacts how children experience structure, safety, and emotional regulation. The right healthcare fit is like a good relationship—it's built on trust, time, and open communication.   Resource Mentioned: Sherrie Ortiz is the owner of Just One Day Travel Tours and a passionate advocate for creating memorable experiences through local travel as KC travel guide.

At the Stillwater Medical Center in Oklahoma, Lead Central Sterile Technician Sydney McWaters and Certified Sterilization Technician Trey Sneed have experienced firsthand how CensiTrac, the surgical instrument and asset management solution from Censis, has transformed daily operations and helped their team adapt to change with confidence.Recently, the department implemented location scanning through CensiTrac—a change that significantly improved turnaround times and made it easier to locate sets when they're needed most. What was once a manual, time-consuming search has now become a quick lookup process, thanks to precise scan-to-location tracking.In addition to scanning, the team has embraced CensiTrac's loaner tray tracking and photo documentation features, allowing them to confirm instrument completeness and respond to discrepancies with clarity and confidence.

In December 2024, LaTroya Grayson filed a $15 million lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at one of his parties in New York City in October 2006. According to the complaint, Grayson's half-sibling won a contest through local radio station KJAMZ, which included an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to attend a "Diddy White Party." Upon arrival, the event had been rebranded as a "Black Party." Grayson claims that after consuming less than two premade drinks at the party, she began to feel unwell and attempted to go to the restroom. Her next memory was waking up at Saint Vincent's Medical Center with no recollection of how she arrived there, noticing her shirt was torn, her underwear missing, and her money stolen. She believes she was drugged, assaulted, and robbed. After returning to Oklahoma, Grayson allegedly received a threatening phone call from an anonymous female, warning her against pursuing any action due to Combs' celebrity status. The lawsuit includes supporting documents such as photos from the party and medical records.Combs' legal team has denied the allegations, stating that he "has never sexually assaulted anyone or engaged in sex trafficking." They emphasize that Grayson admits to having no memory of the events, does not know who was involved, and has never spoken to Combs, labeling her claims as "pure fiction." As of February 2025, Combs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on separate charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:grayson complaintBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In December 2024, LaTroya Grayson filed a $15 million lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs, alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at one of his parties in New York City in October 2006. According to the complaint, Grayson's half-sibling won a contest through local radio station KJAMZ, which included an all-expenses-paid trip to New York to attend a "Diddy White Party." Upon arrival, the event had been rebranded as a "Black Party." Grayson claims that after consuming less than two premade drinks at the party, she began to feel unwell and attempted to go to the restroom. Her next memory was waking up at Saint Vincent's Medical Center with no recollection of how she arrived there, noticing her shirt was torn, her underwear missing, and her money stolen. She believes she was drugged, assaulted, and robbed. After returning to Oklahoma, Grayson allegedly received a threatening phone call from an anonymous female, warning her against pursuing any action due to Combs' celebrity status.
