Ven. Yong Su Mark Hepper, Mahayana Buddhist practitioner and Teaching Monk at the Grand Rapids Buddhist Temple, previously asked Grand Rapids faith communities: "What does your faith, your religion, do to specifically address your members' suffering?" --- Rishi Singh, Sikh practitioner and interfaith outreach officer for the Sikh Society of West Michigan, responds, and passes a question on to other faith communities in the city: "What is the purpose of your life? How can you live a spiritual life -- how can you attain that which you're sent here for -- if you can't answer that fundamental question, which is 'what is the purpose of your life?'" --- Passing the Mic is a project of Grand Rapids Community Media Center (CMC) that promotes online, community-wide discussion of local issues and topics using the spoken word. Residents are invited to share one to three-minute audio responses to locally-focused questions from fellow neighbors, with questions geared toward all Grand Rapidians or specific communities within the city. Keeping the discussion going, speakers are encouraged to end their responses with their own question related to a local issue or topic -- passing along the opportunity to amplify community voices. Opinions expressed through Passing the Mic are those of the speakers and do not reflect the editorial voice of The Rapidian or CMC.

The landscape encompasses a wide variety of power providers, and while investor-owned utilities are often the largest and most influential, it's the smaller players that may be setting the bar for customer care. Specifically, electric cooperatives recognize their end consumers not just as ratepayers, but indeed as members of the electric co-op, and the smaller and more local nature of these power providers empowers them to more easily meet customers where they are, innovate in new ways to educate and engage those end consumers, and create a customer care ecosystem that's the envy of larger utilities. To peel back the curtain on the unique relationship electric co-ops have with their members, today's episode brings in the CEO and General Manager of Missouri's SEMO Electric Cooperative, Sean Vanslyke. Sean walks podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester through the engagement SEMO's utilized over the past year and a half to aid its members through COVID, the keep power costs affordable, to empower its surrounding community, and to educate customers and employees alike about every component of the utility business. While an electric cooperative has a more moderate budget and footprint, the largest and smallest utilities alike have many lessons to learn from how, why, and where Sean Vanslyke has created customer service opportunities in his service area.

Hogan Frank C. Tait 3. Gangsters of Capitalism "Rigging the Election" In the episode, NRA instructor and member Dezarae Payne describes how her husband, Paul Payne, from whom she is separated, has since the late 1990s worked secretly to tilt board elections in favor of LaPierre. Paul Payne has been an NRA employee, administrator of the NRA Members’ Councils of California, a state affiliate, and a liaison to LaPierre. Dezarae Payne told the podcast that every year LaPierre’s office gives Paul Payne the names of NRA board candidates considered allies of the longtime boss of the gun group. Payne then works through the council to lobby NRA members in California to vote for those candidates. Because such a small percentage of members take part in the annual mail ballot election for board seats, Dezarea Payne said, her husband’s electioneering has routinely been critical to victory. Michael Schwartz, a gun rights advocate from San Diego who used to belong to the members’ councils, confirmed Dezarea Payne’s account. “The attitude from Paul Payne was very strange,” Schwartz said in regard to an NRA convention trip he made at Payne’s urging. “He was treating it like it was some kind of covert military op, which was beyond ridiculous. He had us staying at a hotel that was away from the convention center. We were told not to talk to any NRA employees or any NRA board members. We were told not to tell anybody why we were there.”Approximately $5.5M was spent on him, according to our napkin math.H. Paul Payne’s LinkedInA google search revealed that Aaron F. Park sure didn’t like him here and here.

By Michael Tetreault, Host, Editor-in-Chief Today we sit down with Nick Desai, CEO and co-founder of Heal. Effective January 1, 2020, Sutter Health | Aetna is teaming up with Heal, the leader in doctor house calls, to bring “doctors to your door” seven days a week. “Sutter Health | Aetna and Heal see eye to eye and are working together to transform the healthcare system and make care more convenient and affordable.” READ OUR FULL STORY HERE: SUTTER HEALTH | AETNA TEAMS UP WITH HEAL TO BRING DOCTORS TO MEMBERS' DOORS Read the Full Press Release Here: https://conciergemedicinetoday.org/2019/12/18/aetna-sutter-health-all-members-get-access-to-heal-house-calls-seven-days-a-week-365-days-a-year/ SAN FRANCISCO – Dec. 17, 2019 – House calls from a doctor are making a comeback, thanks in part to a tech-savvy culture and consumer demands for better healthcare access and convenience. In response, Sutter Health | Aetna is teaming up with Heal, to bring “doctors to your door” seven days a week. This service includes scheduling doctors' visits to a member's home or office, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., through the Heal app, website, or a phone call. “We are taking steps to modernize the delivery of healthcare by making it easier to access and more affordable,” said Steve Wigginton, Sutter Health | Aetna CEO. “Heal's ‘doctors to your door' service will increase convenience for members by enabling them to receive primary, preventive, pediatric, and urgent care services from the convenience of their home or office. We want to deliver a differentiated member experience that leads to lower healthcare costs and better outcomes.” With the innovative joint venture between Sutter Health and Aetna, Heal services are integrated with the member's care. Heal physicians can write prescriptions, order labs and suggest in-network referrals for specialists and other healthcare services, like behavioral health or disease management. Collaboration between Heal doctors and the Sutter Health | Aetna provider network helps coordinate care and improve provider communications, safety and quality. Sutter Health | Aetna members can schedule appointments every day, including weekends and holidays. Through Heal, board-certified doctors can arrive in as little as two hours in most locations. Employers offering their employees a Sutter Health | Aetna plan can also schedule on-site “Heal Days” to help keep their employees healthy and happy. P.S. We think the "How it Works" section of Heal's website will be of particular interest to you and your audience of doctors and patients!
