Podcasts about preventive care

Despite cervical cancer being nearly 100% preventable through routine screening, almost one in three U.S. women are behind, and the numbers have been moving in the wrong direction for a decade. Kara Egan, CEO and Co-Founder of Teal Health, left a career as a health tech investor to fix one of the most overlooked gaps in women's preventive care. In May 2025, Teal received the only FDA authorization for at-home cervical cancer screening, and just seven months later had scaled to all 50 states. In this conversation, Kara breaks down what it actually takes to redesign a screening process that hasn't meaningfully changed in 80 years, how regulatory alignment and updated clinical guidelines are reshaping the landscape, and what at-home diagnostics signal for the future of preventive care and women's health access broadly.

What if your healthcare team already knew what happened during your hospital stay — before you even explained it? What if someone on your care team noticed you were struggling on a Saturday and simply showed up? In this episode, Jamie sits down with Christopher Laffey, Nurse Practitioner at Your Health, to break down what a truly connected, proactive model of care actually looks like when it's working. Christopher practices in North Charleston, SC, where his team — nurses, therapists, social workers, community health workers, and more — functions less like a traditional office practice and more like a living, breathing safety net woven around each patient's real life. What you'll hear in this episode: Why most patients are failing not because nobody cares, but because the system itself is fragmented — and what doing it differently actually looks like on a Tuesday morning The real difference between "patient-centered" as a marketing phrase and patient-centered as a daily practice (hint: it involves seeing the medication bottles on the kitchen table) A powerful real-life story of a bedbound patient whose caregiver suddenly disappeared — and how the team mobilized over a weekend, on their own time, to prevent a hospitalization The single mindset shift every clinician needs to make the transition from visit-based thinking to longitudinal care Why "value-based care" doesn't mean discounted care — it means the organization is accountable for your outcomes, not just your appointments If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling more confused than when you walked in, this episode will show you what healthcare can feel like when it's actually designed around you. www.YourHealth.Org

This episode recorded live at the Becker's Spring 2026 Payer Issues Roundtable features Adam Park, Director of Network Development, Curative Health Plan, who discusses how Curative is redesigning employer-sponsored healthcare by removing financial barriers to care and investing in prevention. He also shares how AI is improving credentialing, prior authorization, and member support while helping create faster, more personalized healthcare experiences.In collaboration with Hippocratic AI.

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.

Join us for this episode of Digital Health Talks, where Megan Antonelli, CEO of Health Impact Live, sits down with Dr. Adam Aponte, CEO of East Harlem Council for Human Services and Neighborhood Health Center. A board-certified pediatrician with 25 years of experience, Dr. Aponte was born and raised in East Harlem and has dedicated his career to serving one of America's most underserved communities. In this conversation, he makes a compelling case for why the fight to protect federally qualified health centers is not just a community health story. It is a health system leadership story. In this episode: How FQHCs serve over 35 million Americans and why they are the backbone of primary care for underserved communities The real impact of HR1 on Medicaid recipients, including $300 million in projected funding losses for New York FQHCs alone Why continuous pediatric coverage matters and what is at stake when children lose access to early care The role of trust in health care delivery and how policy changes compound existing distrust in marginalized communities Telehealth adoption challenges in East Harlem and the reimbursement barriers that limit its potential for FQHCs Why investing in early childhood health care is the most effective strategy for reducing long-term health care costs Adam Aponte, MD, MSc, FAAP, CEO, East Harlem Council for Human Services Megan Antonelli, Founder & CEO, HealthIMPACT Live

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

What if the most powerful thing you could do for your patients, your teammates, and your own career is simply to say: I made a mistake? In this episode of Your Health University, host Jamie Preston is joined by the Your Health Patient Experience Team — Jennifer Kistler, Kim Metz, Whitney Myers, Carlos Heyward, and Rebecca Dillard — for one of the most honest conversations in this Values Series yet: a deep dive into integrity. Not the word on the wall, but the daily practice of accountability, consistency, and courage that defines who we really are. What you'll hear in this episode: Why fear is the single biggest barrier to integrity in healthcare — and what leadership must do about it The real-time story of Rebecca owning a patient complaint oversight at 5:45 AM, and why it made all the difference Whitney's powerful reframe: integrity isn't just doing the right thing when no one's watching — it's consistency, whether it's easy or hard Jennifer's insight on how strong patient-provider relationships reduce malpractice suits — and why that starts with honesty The unforgettable story of a million-dollar mistake, a resignation letter, and a CEO who said: "Why would I let you go? I just spent a million dollars training you." Integrity matters here. At Your Health, it's not a policy — it's a promise.

Send us Fan MailOne in six children has a developmental delay, and it takes an average of five years to get a diagnosis for a genetic disease. But it doesn't have to. The technology to get answers in 48 hours already exists.Katherine Stueland, CEO, GeneDx joins host John Driscoll to discuss why rare genetic diseases are far more common than most people realize, how whole genome sequencing is transforming pediatric care, and what it will take to bring precision medicine to every child who needs it.

A man is dying — literally in his last hour, the death rattle audible — and the hospital team arrives to take him for a radiation treatment. His family had no idea. No one had told them. No one had started the conversation. This is not a rare exception. This is what happens when social services is treated as an afterthought. In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, host Jamie Preston and Scott Middleton, Owner and Chief Disruption Officer of Your Health, go deep on one of the most overlooked levers in healthcare — social services. From the social determinants that drive healthcare costs more than healthcare itself, to the care team structures Your Health is building to close the gap, this is a candid, unfiltered look at what's broken, what's possible, and what it actually costs when we don't act. What you'll hear in this episode: Why social determinants of health — food access, medication literacy, housing instability, social isolation — are the real drivers of healthcare spending, and why most systems still ignore them The truth about advanced care planning: why it's quietly dropping, why every patient within two to three years of death needs that conversation, and the story of Janet Denino's cousin that makes the cost of silence impossible to ignore How the mental health stigma is shifting generationally — and how telehealth, AI-assisted tools, and a smarter therapy cadence are changing who actually gets support The billing math behind 280,000 possible care management hours that were built down to 110 — and why that gap isn't just a business problem, it's a human one What it actually takes to build a social services program that works: the right roles, the right ratios, and why getting out to see patients is non-negotiable The system won't fix itself. But the people in it can. This episode shows you how. www.YourHealth.Org

What if the greatest threat to healthcare isn't a broken system — it's a dehumanized one? In this episode of Experiencing Healthcare, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub wrestle with a deceptively simple idea from Harvard Business School Professor Ryan Buell: service is the business of people helping people. Sparked by Matt's experience at an Athena Health executive leadership forum, this is a conversation about what it truly means to serve — in a world where technology promises to do it faster, cheaper, and at scale. Key topics covered: Why you can never fully take people out of a service industry — and what happens to care quality when you try How ambient listening technology like Mobius is using AI to restore human connection in the exam room, not replace it The ICU nurses who used tough love to get a post-heart-surgery patient walking — and what that story reveals about what genuine service really looks like The "can vs. should" question every healthcare leader must ask before deploying new technology How to show up and serve others with excellence, even on your hardest personal days Healthcare will always evolve — but Matt and Jamie make a compelling case that the human at the center of care is the one thing worth protecting above all else. This one's worth the listen.

Environmental and civil engineer, professional hair braider, public health scholar, and triple HBCU alumna, Nemmi Cole, PhD joins the show to discuss outdoor air quality, warehouses, and respiratory health in California's Inland Empire on the Four Degrees to the Streets Podcast.From 1980 to 2021 the number of warehouses and industrial buildings in the Inland Empire grew to 1 Billion Square Feet (1,000,000,000 SQ FT). Nearly 40% of all goods and products coming into the U.S travel on trucks through or sit in warehouses within San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. In 2024, the 5 most polluted cities in the entire nation were within the Inland Empire including Ontario and San Bernardino. Children and adults living in these communities have the highest rates of asthma, lung disease, and COPD in the State of California. Diesel trucks, industrial waste, truck idling, and output of industrial machinery contribute to chemicals in the air such as Sulfur Dioxide, Particulate Matter, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Volatile Organic Compounds. Our guest on the podcast is a native of San Bernardino so her work is personal. On the show Nemmi reminisces and laments the loss of parks and farmland in her community to industrial buildings and warehouses.After completing her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida A&M University, our guest Dr. Nemmi Cole returned home to join the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California to study the impact of megawarehouses on children's respiratory health outcomes in San Bernardino and Riverside County.

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 if the most expensive healthcare decisions aren't made in the boardroom — but in the exam room, when the wrong infection gets treated with the wrong antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University, Podcast, Jamie sits down with Madison Browning, a registered nurse in urology at Your Health, to talk about what proper urological care actually looks like, why it matters far beyond the individual patient, and how a strong, collaborative provider team is the difference between a patient thriving and a patient stuck in a revolving door of emergency room visits. What you'll hear in this episode: Why getting a UTI diagnosis right the first time has massive implications for patient health and system costs The role nurse practitioners play in specialized urology care — and why their expertise is often underestimated How the team-based model at Your Health empowers every provider to collaborate and deliver better outcomes The direct connection between outpatient urology care and reduced hospital stays, ER visits, and downstream Medicare and tax costs Madison's genuine gratitude for the team around her — and what it looks like when a healthcare culture actually works If you've ever wondered whether the healthcare system could do better — this episode is proof that it already is, one patient at a time. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode, we're talking about preventive care marketing, how to attract patients who want to stay ahead of problems, not just react when something hurts.If your marketing mostly speaks to pain and urgent symptoms, you can end up in a cycle of one-time visits and inconsistent momentum. Preventive care content helps you reach the “I feel fine, but…” crowd, the desk workers, active adults, busy parents, and anyone noticing early warning signs who wants a clear plan before things spiral.You'll learn a simple framework for what to publish, how to talk about prevention without sounding pushy, and how to guide someone from awareness to taking action. I'll also share an easy monthly content strategy you can repeat without posting every day, plus the language that helps this kind of content convert.If you want to build a steady stream of patients who value consistency and long-term progress, this is for you.

In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, host Robin Bailey is joined by special co-host Billi Moyer for a timely conversation with Christine Lacey, VP of Revenue at Lume Women's Health, a Toronto-based women's health clinic built for women by women, focused on proactive, personalized care that helps close longstanding gaps in women's healthcare. Christine shares how Lume was founded by four women (three physicians), and why women's healthcare cannot be compared “apples to apples” with traditional models historically built around the male body. She explains why women are not “small men,” and how reproductive and hormonal health influences whole-body outcomes, from brain health to cardiovascular health, making sex-specific care essential across a woman's life. The conversation highlights the midlife care gap, how the system supports puberty and family planning, but often drops women when disease prevention, longevity, and true healthspan should be the focus. Christine also shares a striking stat, women live longer, but spend about 25% more time in poor health than men, strengthening the case for proactive care models. They explore accessibility, equity, and why corporate Canada may be one of the fastest levers for progress, including advocacy like the push for a menopause billing code in Ontario. The episode closes with the future Christine wants for the next generation of women.
