SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes was joined by health care providers, students, patients and the Illinois Academy of Physician Associates for a press conference on a new law that would modernize PA practice laws, improving health care access across the state. “Last year, I was proud to sponsor legislation to begin the journey to allow physician assistants to practice to their full potential,” said Cervantes (D-Chicago). “This year's Senate Bill 3421 is critical as we face an access to health care crisis in Illinois.” With similar training as nurses and doctors, PAs can provide high-quality health care, but have run into difficulties getting their license approved due to a long, tedious paperwork approval process. Senate Bill 3421 would remove outdated practice barriers for PAs, allowing them to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. The legislation allows PAs to obtain a license to prescribe and administer certain controlled substances without a written agreement from a doctor, as nurses are currently able to do. “This legislation is vital because our healthcare system continues to face increasing strain. Recognizing and empowering PAs in our communities will make a significant impact,” said Timothy Kinsey, a PA in emergency medicine and executive director of IAPA. “They are highly trained professionals who can serve as the first line of defense against serious health issues.” This legislation is crucial as it aligns with the growing demand for health care services while maintaining high standards of safety and quality. “Many communities, including my own, are experiencing medical deserts, and PAs are a vital part of the solution,” said Cervantes. “The federal government has initiated a Rural Health Transformation initiative, and Illinois risks leaving tens of millions of dollars on the table if we do not modernize our PA practice laws. The time to act is now.” Senate Bill 3421 awaits assignment to a legislative committee.

EinBlick – nachgefragt Podcast mit Interviews und Diskussionsrunden mit Expert:innen des Gesundheitswesens Vernetzte Versorgung: Weg vom „Gärtledenken" hin zu einer modernen Primärversorgung Fachjournalist und EinBlick-Redakteur Christoph Nitz spricht mit Professor Clarissa Kurscheid über die notwendige Transformation des deutschen Gesundheitssystems und die aktuellen Reformpläne zur Primärversorgung. Im Fokus steht die Frage, wie interprofessionelle Teams, eine verbesserte Kommunikation und das Aufbrechen von Silodenken die Patientenversorgung effizienter gestalten können. Professorin Clarissa Kurscheid ist Gesundheitsökonomin und Geschäftsführerin des Forschungsinstituts für Gesundheits- und Systemgestaltung, kurz figus, das unter dem Leitgedanken „Gestalten heißt verändern" arbeitet. Von 2021 bis 2024 war sie Präsidentin der EUFH Hochschule für Gesundheit, Pädagogik und Soziales. Ihre Expertise in der Versorgungsforschung vertiefte sie unter anderem beim Aufbau des Gesundheitsnetzes Zürich sowie im Projekt „Gesundes Kinzigtal". Die Neugestaltung der Primärversorgung erfordert laut Kurscheid einen grundlegenden Paradigmenwechsel: weg von starren Hierarchien hin zu einer kooperativen Steuerung durch qualifizierte Gesundheitsberufe wie Physician Assistants oder Community Health Nurses. Mit einem starken Fokus auf geschlechtersensible Prävention – insbesondere im Bereich der Frauenherzgesundheit – und sekundärpräventive Ansätze zur Vermeidung von Pflegebedürftigkeit zeigt sie auf, wie eine zeitgemäße Versorgung aussehen kann: sektorenübergreifend, evidenzbasiert und fest in der Region verwurzelt. Ihre Impulse zu diesen Themen bringt sie auch beim 19. Kongress für Gesundheitsnetzwerker in Berlin ein.

Advanced skin treatments often underperform for a reason rarely addressed: regeneration cannot occur in a chronically stressed or under-resourced system. Elevated cortisol, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance weaken collagen signaling and tissue repair before any device, injectable, or modality has a chance to work.In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast, we sit down with Joe Radich from R3 Health to unpack why physiological preparation determines treatment outcomes. We explore how internal factors like stress, hormones, micronutrients, and metabolic health shape skin regeneration, and why modalities like peptides, hyperbaric oxygen, and exosomes only work as well as the system they're introduced into.Joe Radich is an NCCPA board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in regenerative medicine and the founder of R3 Health. He trains physicians and mid-level practitioners in stem cells, PRP, exosomes, and biohacking-based clinical protocols, with expertise spanning orthopedic, aesthetic, hair restoration, and regenerative applications.What's Discussed:(06:42) Why chronic stress and cortisol are silent drivers of visible skin aging(10:18) Preparing the body before skin treatments and why physiology determines outcomes(14:07) Why microneedling success depends on internal biology, not just technique(18:55) The most common lab patterns behind poor skin regeneration and chronic inflammation(24:31) Hormonal imbalance vs hormone deficiency and how both affect skin aging(33:41) GHK-Cu and peptides as signaling tools for connective tissue regeneration(38:09) Hyperbaric oxygen as a force multiplier for skin repair, recovery, and longevity(44:06) Exosomes and regenerative biologics and why sourcing and quality determine resultsFind more from Young Goose:VAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at www.younggoose.com Instagram: @young_goose_skincareWinter Skincare Protocol: https://www.younggoose.com/pages/winter-protocol Find more from Joe Radich (R3 Health):Website: https://josephradich.com, https://r3health.coInstagram: @joeradich_
Episode Summary By Concierge Medicine Today JANUARY 2026 - Concierge medicine and direct primary care didn't just grow — they surged more than 80% in five years. Headlines are spinning this as a threat to access and equity. But is that the full story? In this episode, the Editor-In-Chief of the industry's trade publication, Concierge Medicine Today, author and Host, Michael Tetreault, breaks down the latest national research and explains what's really happening beneath the surface. This isn't about luxury medicine. It's about physician burnout, broken reimbursement models, administrative overload, and doctors quietly redesigning their careers to survive. You'll hear why this shift is less about "escaping responsibility" and more about reclaiming sustainability, why corporate ownership is rising fast, and why concierge medicine didn't create the primary care shortage — it exposed it. If you care about the future of medicine, physician retention, and building healthcare that actually works, this conversation matters.

In the summer of 2000 while in labor with her daughter, Krista's heart stopped for eight minutes. Her soul transitioned to the afterlife where she experienced indescribable love, had all her life's questions answered, encountered spirit beings, and other beings who gave her the choice to return with the condition of sharing what she'd learned there with others. Using the knowledge she was given, Krista created Twelve Principles, which helped her reconnect with the essence of who she was in the afterlife, and embody it here, in this life. They enabled her to live as the love she knew herself to be. Her own transformation affected all those around her as well. Krista shares the Twelve Principles For Daily Living which are what she practices to realign herself with the divine love she was in the afterlife. When practiced on a daily basis, they truly have the potential to create a heaven on earth.BioKrista Gorman is a Physician Assistant who, only three weeks after graduating from her PA training program, suffered cardiopulmonary arrest and died while in labor with her daughter. During the eight minutes she was without a detectable heartbeat, her consciousness transitioned into what we call the afterlife, where she underwent a profound reconnection with a most Divine love that she experienced as the Universe. It is a love that we are seamless with, the love we are in our very essence.Krista is an active member of the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS) and presented at their 2014 and 2015 annual conferences. She has also presented at the 2016 and 2017 conferences alongside her husband, Ainsley Threadgold. Some of her story and the lessons she learned in the afterlife are shared in her book, I Died And Learned How To Live, available on Amazon.Her NDE account is also featured in The Transformative Effects of Near Death Experiences by Dr. Penny Sartori and Kelly Walsh as well as the book Awakened By Death by Karen Swain and Cyrus Kirkpatrick. In 2017 she and her daughter were featured on the program Story Of God With Morgan Freeman on the National Geographic Channel episode entitled Heaven AndHell. This episode is also available to view on Netflix.In addition, Krista speaks both formally and informally to various groups, including sharing the stage with her husband at Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment in Virginia Beach, Spirit University in Sarasota, Florida and Blissful Beginnings in St. Petersburg, Florida.

n this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Kristin Hook for a powerful conversation about discipline, service, and finding purpose through movement and helping others. Kristin shares how her fitness journey began—what first drew her to running, how CrossFit became a defining part of her life, and how physical challenge shaped her mindset well beyond the gym. Fitness wasn't just about performance for Kristin; it became a foundation for resilience, confidence, and growth. We also dive into her path into medicine, including what motivated her to attend PA school and pursue a career where she could directly impact people's lives. Along the way, Kristin opens up about her unique professional journey—from serving in the Army as a police officer, and ultimately finding her calling as a Physician Assistant in the medical field. This episode is about more than career changes—it's about answering the pull to serve, adapting when life evolves, and staying grounded in your core purpose no matter where the road leads. Kristin's story is a reminder that being "unbroken" doesn't mean unchallenged—it means continuing to move forward with intention.

Send us a textPhysician Associate Christi Froiland spent a decade as an athletic trainer in the lower 48 before she went to PA school. She then returned to her hometown of Anchorage where she has practiced at both a dermatology clinic and an urgent care for over 18 years. She has also served for the last decade as the PA representative to the Alaska State Medical Association (ASMA). Outside of the legislature I, too, am a PA, and I know Christi through our professional organization the Alaska Academy of Physician Assistants. Our American professional organization (AAPA) has officially changed the name of our profession to Physician Associates. Alaska PAs have voted to officially change our name to physician associates as well, but the name change has not happened at the regulatory or statutory level yet. The PA profession in Alaska needs modernizing beyond a name change, and although we do not speak about it directly, we will reference Senate Bill 89 sponsored by Sen. Löki Tobin, which would modernize Alaska laws governing PAs.
