What if the most important care in the entire healthcare system is also the most underfunded? While hospitals and inpatient reimbursements rise with inflation, the physician fee schedule has quietly declined roughly 33% in real terms over 25 years — and this year it's facing another cut. In this episode, Jamie Preston sits down with Your Health CEO Matt Staub, just back from Capitol Hill, where he spent a record-setting 95-degree day meeting with seven legislative offices to advocate for physicians, providers, and the patients they serve across rural South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. What follows is part field report, part reflection on why preventive primary care saves money and lives — and why we plan meticulously for weddings, retirement, and vacations, but treat our own health with a "call us if something happens" approach. In this conversation: Why a 2.5–5% physician fee cut hits frontline rural practices hardest The bipartisan doctors' caucus and the real appetite for reform Why winning can come from a loss — the Kobe Bryant mindset on process over outcome How a Disney ride (Spaceship Earth) reframes humanity's whole story around communication The case for proactive, team-based primary care over reactive sick visits Press play for a conversation about advocacy, communication, and a simple, powerful idea: the change you need to make starts with you.

Patients are more informed than ever—but not always correctly.With social media shaping expectations around aesthetic treatments, today's practices are facing a new challenge: misinformation before the consultation even begins. So how do leading medical aesthetics practices take back control of the narrative?In this episode, Kassandra Lepack and Robin Ntoh break down how successful practices are redefining patient education in medical aesthetics by moving beyond basic consultations to deliver clear, consistent, and accessible information that builds trust before patients step in the door.You'll learn how top-performing practices:Combat misinformation and unrealistic expectations driven by social mediaUse visual tools and at-home education resources to reinforce key conceptsEducate patients not just on treatments—but on downtime, outcomes, and real resultsLeverage technology to improve communication, streamline workflows, and enhance the overall patient experienceWhether you're focused on improving consultations, increasing patient confidence, or differentiating your practice in a crowded market, this conversation provides practical strategies you can implement immediately.Guest:Kassandra Lepack, Chief Business Development OfficerAcclaro MedicalHost:Robin Ntoh, VP of AestheticsNextechAbout Nextech:Industry-leading software for dermatology, medical spas, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and plastic surgery at https://www.nextech.com/

Send us Fan MailSeeing fewer orthodontic patients can sound like a recipe for weaker relationships, but we've found the opposite can be true when you rebuild the patient journey with intention. I'm joined by Dr. Robert Shafer in a guest-slash-co-host role, and we get real about what actually breaks when a practice adopts remote monitoring: the casual check-ins, the personal connection, and the small moments that make families feel known. Private practice growth is more about patient experience than outside your doors marketing. That is where the Brian Wright Show will transform your private practice into a thriving people business. We walk through how to revamp the existing patient experience using digital workflow, not just gadgets. That means better note-taking around the human side of care, training the team to read and use those notes, and creating hospitality that feels more like a five-star service experience than a rushed healthcare visit. We also dig into the refinement scan appointment and why tools like iTero can create a true “wow” factor when you use them to show progress, educate parents, and drive compliance.Then we get specific about communication inside remote monitoring. If the only messages patients get are corrections, you're training non-compliance and damaging trust. We talk about tone, positivity, when video beats text, and how consistent encouragement can keep Invisalign and braces patients engaged even if they only come in a handful of times during treatment.If you want better compliance, stronger referrals, and a practice that wins word of mouth, hit play and take notes. Subscribe, share this with a colleague, and leave a five-star review if it helps you rethink how you run your orthodontic patient experience.Click here to follow The Brian Wright Show PodcastClick here to subscribe and watch on The Brian Wright Show YouTube Station Thank you to our SponsorsNew Patient GroupWrightChat

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this brief episode on dry needling and what current research suggests may explain its pain-relieving effects. The episode clarifies why it's called “dry” needling (no medication injected) and emphasizes the importance of being able to explain why it may help patients. Dry needling is presented as working locally and systemically through four main mechanisms: local muscle and tissue effects, biomechanical and inflammatory biomarker changes, peripheral and spinal pain modulation, and supraspinal/autonomic pathways. We also discuss who this is appropriate for, and how to combine it with other techniques to help our patients get to their goals successfully.00:00 Welcome to PTs Snacks00:48 Why Dry Needling Matters01:15 What It Is and Isn't02:39 Four Mechanisms Overview03:24 Local Tissue Effects04:19 Inflammation Biomarkers05:14 Spinal Pain Modulation06:35 Autonomic Brain Pathways07:16 Who Should Avoid It07:58 Patient Education and Training08:52 Wrap Up and Next StepsNeed CEUs?Unlock unlimited online courses, live webinars, and certification-prep programs with MedBridge.

Heads up — this is Part 2 of Jamie's conversation with Jaclyn Taylor If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and start there. It sets up everything we unpack today. Most healthcare teams are working hard. They're just not working together. And the patient is the one absorbing the cost. In this second half of the conversation, Jamie and Jaclyn move from the why into the how. What does it actually look like when a provider stops responding to today's schedule and starts managing an entire patient panel? How do you turn a community health worker, a pharmacist, a PT, and a social worker into one coordinated team instead of four parallel ones? And what's the difference between data that produces reports and data that produces decisions? You'll hear: Why "frequent touches" only work when they're connected — and how fragmented touches still land patients back in the hospital The quarterback model — what it actually means for a provider to own a patient's trajectory, not just their visit The shift from seeing patients to managing a population — and why most providers were never taught how Why we don't have a resource problem in healthcare — we have an orchestration opportunity How to use technology and data without drowning in either What "showing up" really means inside a system that isn't perfect yet This is the episode for anyone trying to lead change from inside a system that's still catching up.

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.

Brian Phan from Amara Medical Aesthetics joins Pathmonk Presents to share how a specialized oculofacial plastics clinic blends advanced cosmetic care with complex reconstructive medicine to build patient trust and long-term growth. He explains how the team serves a wide range of patients, from cosmetic seekers to those needing functional eyelid and dry eye treatment, while creating a smoother path from research to consultation. The episode also explores how website leads, before-and-after results, provider credentials, and social media content can attract new patients. For marketers and founders, this conversation offers practical insight into trust-driven healthcare marketing, patient journeys, and balancing care delivery with business growth.

What if the most important thing you did today wasn't on your task list? In the final episode of Your Health University's Values Series, host Jamie Preston brings back the full Patient Experience Team — Jennifer Kistler, Kim Metz, Whitney Myers, Carlos Heyward, and Rebecca Dillard — to explore the value that brings every other one to life: Service. Not the idea of it. The real, daily, roll-up-your-sleeves version that shows up in 60 extra seconds, one extra phone call, and the moments when you decide not to leave someone when they need you most. What you'll hear in this episode: Whitney's story of refusing to leave a patient on his worst day — and what true service looks like when the moments count most Carlos's creative solution for a patient in Charleston who keeps falling — and the phone call she made just to say thank you Rebecca's respiratory therapists who change cat litter boxes and wheel trash cans to the curb — because they noticed, and they could Kim's ICU story: braiding the hair of ventilated patients who couldn't do it themselves, because I would want someone to do that for me Jamie's deeply personal account of his wife's breast cancer diagnosis — and the profound difference between a healthcare team that says "this is what you need to do" and one that asks "what do you think?" Carlos's challenge to every listener: don't just adopt these values at work — make them yours Service is the reason you got into this. It's the thing that makes the hard days worth it and wakes you up the next morning ready to go again. Press play — and let this episode remind you exactly why what you do matters. www.YourHealth.Org

Thyroid Symptoms, Normal Labs, and Root Causes: Dr. Kevin Smith on Hashimoto's, Functional Medicine, and Chronic Conditions | Conversations with a Chiropractor Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Chronic Conditions Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Smith specializes in helping people better understand the root causes behind chronic health problems, including thyroid dysfunction, gut issues, autoimmunity, chronic pain, inflammation, peripheral neuropathy, insulin resistance, and other complex conditions. This conversation focuses heavily on thyroid health, especially the frustration many people feel when they have symptoms of hypothyroidism, but are told their labs are "normal." Dr. Smith explains why thyroid symptoms can involve far more than a simple TSH reading, and why many cases of hypothyroidism may be connected to Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid. Stephanie and Dr. Smith talk through common thyroid symptoms, including fatigue, hair loss, weak nails, digestive changes, sleep issues, brain fog, mood changes, infertility, and skin problems. They also discuss why a deeper look at the body may include the immune system, gut health, liver function, blood sugar, cortisol, sex hormones, inflammation, food sensitivities, unresolved infections, and nutrient status. The episode also explores the difference between managing symptoms and looking for the underlying reasons a person may not feel well. Dr. Smith shares how he uses detailed intake forms, comprehensive lab testing, metabolic questionnaires, food sensitivity testing, lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting to help patients better understand what is happening in their body. This conversation is educational and is not a replacement for personal medical care. If you are dealing with thyroid symptoms, autoimmune concerns, medication questions, or chronic health issues, work with a qualified healthcare provider who can evaluate your individual situation. In This Episode, Discover Common symptoms of hypothyroidism and low thyroid function Why "normal labs" may not tell the whole story The connection between Hashimoto's disease and thyroid dysfunction Why Dr. Smith describes many thyroid issues as immune system issues How the brain, pituitary gland, thyroid, liver, gut, and carrier proteins all play a role in thyroid function Why every cell in the body depends on thyroid hormone for energy regulation How chronic inflammation, blood sugar issues, cortisol, sex hormones, food sensitivities, and infections may affect thyroid physiology Why comprehensive lab testing may reveal patterns missed by basic panels The difference between food allergy testing and food sensitivity testing How lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplements, and retesting fit into functional medicine care Why patients may need to take a more active role in understanding their health Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Kevin Smith & Metabolic Solutions: Dr. Kevin Smith / Metabolic Solutions: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/ Free 2-Minute Metabolic Health Assessment: https://www.metabolicsolutions.net/metabolic-scorecard/ Chronic Conditions Center: https://www.chronicpa.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

What if the people case-managing your care had a financial reason to keep you sicker? That's the uncomfortable question Scott Middleton puts on the table in this episode — recorded live from the American Case Managers Conference in Orlando, where Scott went to learn, and ended up being told Your Health didn't "fit" because they weren't a hospital. Jamie and Scott unpack what the nurse case manager role actually looks like at Your Health — and why moving case management out of hospitals and into patients' homes isn't just better care, it's better economics. Scott shares the research proving the model works: 50% reduction in Medicare spend when patients are seen at the right frequency by the right people. In this episode: Why hospitalists may be "the demise of the American healthcare system" The difference between nurse practitioners (diagnose and treat) and nurse case managers (assess and guide) — and why blurring them costs patients The 16.05-visits-per-risk-point model David Clemens' research validated How coding departments are quietly diagnosing patients with diseases they don't have Why Medicare's 6-year insolvency window may be the disruption we need Head-to-toe assessments, delegation rights, and the real job of an RN in the home If you've ever suspected the system is working exactly as designed — just not for the patient — press play. www.YourHealth.Org

The treatment involves two primary phases: "Wipe" and "Load," which serve distinct functions within a therapy session. **Wipe and Load Technique** The "Wipe" phase focuses on alleviating existing dysfunctional patterns. By using specific frequencies, practitioners can address prior traumas and reestablish a foundation for healing. This step is crucial as it prepares the tissue for the subsequent "Load" phase. In the "Load" phase, practitioners reinforce optimal patterns of movement and function. This is where increased secretions in the cerebellum and sensory motor cortex come into play, ensuring the coordinated and smooth movement of joints and muscles. **Key Frequencies and Their Applications** 1. **Vitality Boosting**: Some practitioners explore using vitality frequencies (like 49) across all tissues, offering a systemic boost to health and energy levels. This can complement traditional treatments and enhance overall well-being. 2. **Nerve Pain Management**: Treating nerve pain, particularly diabetic or post-surgical neuropathies, involves using frequencies tailored to specific viral or bacterial influences. For instance, adding flu virus frequencies to a diabetic neuropathy protocol if recent illness exacerbated symptoms can hasten recovery. 3. **Post-Trauma Adjustments**: Addressing scar tissue with a comprehensive approach involves more than just targeting scars themselves. Understanding the underlying story of how the trauma occurred and integrating related frequencies can lead to more profound healing. **Patient Education and Customization** Patient education remains a cornerstone of successful FSM therapy. Enabling patients to understand their condition's intricacies and the rationale behind their treatment helps foster compliance and optimize outcomes. Practitioners are urged to customize protocol based on detailed patient histories and presenting symptoms, allowing for adaptive treatment strategies that are dynamic and responsive to each individual's healing process. **Integrating Reflective Practice** FSM therapy is not just a static application of technology but a continually evolving practice. Engaging with recent developments and insights into the frequencies' functionalities urges practitioners to remain curious and innovative. Practitioners are encouraged to embrace new findings and methodologies that arise, ensuring their practice remains at the forefront of patient care.

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you.

What happens when 50 million people need endocrine care… but there are only about 4,000 practicing endocrinologists to see the complex cases? In an environment where misinformation is everywhere and specialist capacity is limited, how can an association help clinicians and care teams deliver better outcomes at scale without diluting quality?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Johnnie White, CEO of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE). Johnnie discusses:How AACE's membership is ~6,000 worldwide, with predominantly physicians and a growing “endocrine care team” that includes NPs, PAs, pharmacists, and primary care clinicians.The sobering workforce math: “there's not enough endocrinologists” for the volume of diabetes (and other endocrine disorders), and why AACE prioritizes educating the broader care team.How members get access to endocrine-specific education, guidelines, publications, and networking with field experts.The strategic shift from “endocrinologists” to “endocrinology” and how a bigger tent supports care delivery while keeping endocrinologists as the clinical leaders who develop guidelines.AACE's patient-first digital strategy: landing visitors on the patient portal first, then routing clinicians to the healthcare/member portal.How AACE built “patient journeys” (diabetes, thyroid, obesity, and more) to counter misinformation and provide understandable, trustworthy guidance for patients and caregivers.Why AACE's patient content is heavily used not only by patients but also by clinicians who refer patients to it for education and reinforcement.The organization's non-traditional education mix, including podcasts as an accessible channel for timely topics, and microlearning with short modules, tracked for continuing education credit.Johnnie's leadership philosophy, “Mamba Mentality,” is a continuous quest to improve, seek feedback, and empower experts on the team.References:AACE Website

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Oleg Kovalev, Chief Marketing Officer at Aspect Health, revealing how his company became the #1 women's hormonal health startup in the USA by disrupting traditional PCOS treatment. Discover how continuous glucose monitoring and lifestyle coaching are helping one in five women manage a condition that doctors have been treating wrong for decades—and how this medical innovation is driving explosive business growth. Four Key Takeaways: [4:21] PCOS affects 20% of women and is the #1 cause of infertility - Traditional medicine has underdiagnosed and undertreated PCOS for decades, leaving millions of women without proper answers or solutions beyond pills that mask symptoms. [8:33] Managing glucose levels can dramatically reduce PCOS symptoms - Simple lifestyle changes combined with continuous glucose monitoring help women see real-time correlations between their food choices and symptom improvement, leading to exceptional product retention. [17:24] Data-driven positioning beats gut feeling every time - Aspect Health grew 12x in nine months by systematically testing positioning through paid ads and user behavior metrics rather than relying on intuition or assumptions. [24:11] Ask what you should NOT be doing - Focus and intentionality come from eliminating tasks rather than adding them—the critical question every founder and marketer must answer to achieve breakthrough success. Quote of the Show (8:00):"When women go to doctor and they ask questions about PCOS, in most cases they don't get answers to their questions. Often they are given some standard protocol of taking some kind of pills." - Oleg Kovalev Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

"We print education sheets that we have, and we say, 'Just ignore this part that says cancer. You're getting this med but for a different indication.' And then you have to really point out what our goals of care are. You're using the information that, as oncology nurses, we like and love, but we're having to cross it out and say, 'Just read this portion and just do this here.' And that can be challenging for the nurse and probably confusing for the patient," ONS member Brandy Thornberry, RN, OCN®, outpatient infusion and VAD supervisor at Logan Health in Kalispell, MT, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about education for patients receiving antineoplastic drugs for non-oncology indications. Taylor also spoke with ONS members Lizzy McMahon, BSN, RN, OCN®, and Jennifer Lynch, BSN, RN, TCTCN™, about general antineoplastic treatment education and tailoring education in the stem cell transplantation setting.

Highlights From This Episode McMahon: "A great question would be to ask the patient what they already know and what they're most concerned about or what their biggest questions are. This way, the nurse can tailor their education to make sure to focus on what the patient doesn't know yet and what they're most concerned about, while still touching on all the required education topics. … It's also important for nurses to continually be assessing the patient's readiness to learn throughout the education session, looking for nonverbal cues or verbal signs that the patient is overwhelmed or anxious because this is going to interfere with their ability to take in new information." TS 3:49 Thornberry: "A lot of the education sheets and the products for them explain it like, 'This is cancer,' and more of an oncology perspective, so occasionally [non-oncology patients] can show up and be confused by it. I do feel like they come a little bit less prepared than our oncology patients. Our rheumatologists and neurologists, they sure try, but they just don't have the support in that realm either. They're full of every question you can imagine. They've never been to an infusion room. They don't know what to bring. Can they drink water and have their meds beforehand? It's a full gamut of really preparing them to get these for autoimmune or rheumatology-type issues." TS 14:12 Lynch: "I really want to spend time with those patients to make sure that we are not assuming that they are coming to us with any knowledge or experience. I want them to be able to come to us with questions and trust their healthcare team and really sit down with them and say, 'Okay, you don't have cancer, but we're using the word chemotherapy where we're talking about cancer drugs.'… And we're going to probably spend more time going over some of the basics about blood stem cells, types of cells that they grow into, how your body fights infection, what they're going to be at risk for. The side effects can be pretty scary when you're talking about them, especially back to back. So making sure that we are delivering the information that doesn't put them in a panic mode… A lot of reassurance, as well, and just taking into consideration that, yes, this might have this whole other layer of anxiety to it because of the unknown."

In this episode of the Eye on AI Podcast, Craig Smith sits down with Steve Brown, founder of CureWise, to explore how agentic AI is reshaping healthcare from the patient's perspective. Steve shares the deeply personal story behind CureWise, born out of his own experience with a rare cancer diagnosis that was repeatedly missed by traditional medical pathways. The conversation dives into why modern healthcare struggles with complex, edge-case conditions, how fragmented medical data and time-constrained systems fail patients, and where AI can meaningfully help without replacing clinicians. The discussion goes deep into multi-agent AI systems, reliability through consensus, large context windows, and how AI can surface better questions rather than premature answers. Steve explains why patient education is the real unlock for better outcomes, how precision medicine depends on individualized data and genetics, and why empowering patients leads to stronger collaboration with doctors. This episode offers a grounded, practical look at AI's role in healthcare, not as a diagnostic shortcut, but as a tool for clarity, context, and better decision-making in some of the most critical moments of car   Stay Updated: Craig Smith on X: https://x.com/craigssEye on A.I. on X: https://x.com/EyeOn_AI (00:00) Using Multi-Agent AI to Analyze Medical Records (04:35) Steve Brown's Tech Background and Return to Healthcare (08:25) How a Rare Cancer Diagnosis Was Initially Missed (13:55) Why Modern Medicine Struggles With Complex Cases (18:29) Multi-Agent Consensus and AI Reliability in Healthcare (24:12) Large Context Windows, RAG, and Medical Data Organization (28:24) Why CureWise Focuses on Patient Education, Not Diagnosis (33:10) Precision Medicine, Genetics, and Personalized Treatment (47:45) Why CureWise Launches Direct-to-Patient First (53:19) The Future of AI-Driven Precision Medicine

In this episode, we sit down with Sue Stewart, a 36-year survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the founder of BMT InfoNet. Sue walks us through her transplant journey, beginning with a difficult diagnosis in the late 1980s and the grueling induction chemotherapy that followed. With limited treatment options, she opted for an autologous bone marrow transplant—a relatively new and uncertain procedure at the time. Despite the intense side effects, including confusion and delusions, Sue recovered and slowly rebuilt her life. Her story is one of strength and long-term resilience, shaped by medical challenges and a determination to help others facing similar paths.After surviving her transplant, Sue felt driven to understand her experience and quickly saw the gap in patient-centered information. A high-profile court case involving bone marrow donation misinformation pushed her to act. In response, she started a small newsletter to provide reliable, understandable transplant information. What began with 700 names (pre-Internet) grew rapidly and became BMT InfoNet, an organization that now supports over 20,000 people weekly with resources, educational content, and peer support.We explore how GVHD care has transformed over the decades. Sue outlines progress in diagnostics, treatment options, and the move away from long-term steroid reliance. Her organization has helped shift the focus beyond survival to long-term quality of life, leading to the creation of survivorship clinics and a deeper understanding of transplant-related complications.Sue introduces us to BMT InfoNet's key programs, including Caring Connections, which matches patients and caregivers with peers based on similar experiences. We also learn about their online, professionally moderated support groups, offered to different patient communities. These groups have been instrumental in helping individuals process their experiences and stay connected.The organization's educational materials and annual survivorship symposium continue to empower patients to become active members of their care teams. Sue emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms early, understanding treatment options, and advocating for proper care—especially for GVHD, which many local doctors may not fully understand.Finally, Sue shares the story of how one patient's experience with ocular GVHD and scleral lenses led to a wider medical breakthrough. It's a powerful reminder of how patients can change the landscape of care by sharing their stories. BMT InfoNet's mission remains clear: provide support, share knowledge, and give voice to those on the transplant journey.BMT InfoNet: https://www.bmtinfonet.orgContact Email: help@bmtinfonet.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sue Stewart01:15 - Sue's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Story06:33 - Founding BMT InfoNet10:05 - Life Before the Internet: Lack of Resources12:43 - Progress in GVHD Treatment15:25 - Peer Support Through Caring Connections17:16 - Online Moderated Support Groups18:58 - Educational Resources on GVHD21:57 - GVHD Specialist Directory24:05 - Annual Survivorship Symposium26:17 - Financial Assistance for Patients27:39 - GVHD Wall of Hope and National GVHD Day30:01 - Final Story: How Patient Experience Changed GVHD Care National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
