Effective public health advocacy starts with understanding how Congress works, building relationships with lawmakers and their staff, and connecting policy and funding decisions to the people and communities they affect. We'll hear from Catherine Murphy, formerly a Senior Analyst for Government Affairs at ASTHO, who's had experience on both sides of the table: first as a congressional aide and later as a public health advocate. She'll tell us about her experience working on Capitol Hill, and what public health professionals should know about engaging with Congress and making their voices heard. Murphy explains why patience is essential in the legislative process, how public health advocates can find common ground across political differences, and why listening to concerns and avoiding assumptions can lead to more productive conversations. She also shares a key lesson for advocates: the most effective stories connect public health funding and policy to tangible programs, people, and outcomes in their communities.Facilitating Connections on Capitol Hill for Public Health Advocacy: Lessons and Reflections | ASTHOSubscribe | ASTHO

As we've noted on Raise the Line from Elsevier before, the system Americans rely on to keep vaccine recommendations grounded in science has changed in ways that many in the medical community find alarming. Our guest today, Dr. Jason Goldman, has watched this shift unfold from a closer vantage point than most in his role as liaison from the American College of Physicians (ACP) to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.“The vaccine guidelines must be based on science and evidence and that doesn't change because of someone's political beliefs. We have to keep politics out of healthcare,” says Dr. Goldman, who has been a prominent voice responding to the risks resulting from these changes as well as other public health issues.This candid conversation with host Lindsey Smith also explores:Why Dr. Goldman calls himself a "dinosaur";The Medicare quirk that pits doctors against each other;His advice to students when choosing a specialty.Mentioned in this episode:American College of Physicians If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Boston asked residents what they needed before spending a dollar of its opioid settlement money. Christian Arthur, senior policy and strategy specialist at the Boston Public Health Commission's Recovery Services Bureau, illustrates in this episode how the city started with a community assessment and turned that feedback into real programs—a first-in-the-nation fund for families who've lost loved ones to overdose, public health vending machines that dispense naloxone, and grants to the organizations already doing the work. It's a candid conversation about community engagement, spending with intention, and what other cities can learn from it. Christian Arthur is a senior policy and strategy specialist at Boston Public Health Commission's Recovery Services Bureau. He has served the commission for the last seven years and has focused his career on building and launching harm reduction solutions that save lives and advance public health innovation.   More Links and Information   Check out more Fors Marsh Media Connect or partner with Fors Marsh  Learn how Boston is using its opioid settlement funding  Explore Boston's Overdose Data to Action

Jenny Opalinski has spent more than a decade inside hospitals where people lose the ability to speak, breathe, swallow, and sometimes survive. A medical speech language pathologist by training, she worked in ICU, neuro rehab, and long term acute care settings, including a Level 1 trauma center, where she watched clinicians absorb 10 to 15 traumatic events in a single shift and then get told to move the crash cart faster next time.That lived reality pushed her to co found The Wellness Shift, an advocacy and education platform focused on healthcare worker burnout, suicide, and assault. In this conversation, Opalinski walks through the moment that changed everything for her: standing in a hospital hallway listening to a family wail after a failed code, followed by a debrief that addressed logistics and ignored grief entirely.She also explains how that work led to Humanity Rx, her podcast about the human cost of medicine, and Dragon's Breath: Calming Tricks for Big Feelings, a children's book that translates evidence based breathing and regulation strategies into language kids can actually use. The episode covers moral injury, time scarcity, false wellness, respiratory muscle training, and why empathy keeps getting treated as an optional expense instead of clinical infrastructure.RELATED LINKSJenny Opalinski on LinkedInHumanity Rx PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

We're sharing the career-building moves every dental professional should know, plus the five good habits that can help you build long-term success.  Featured Guests:  Dr. Kayla Klingensmith  For more information, show notes and transcripts visit https://www.ada.org/podcast Show Notes  In this episode, we're sharing the career-building moves every dental professional should know, plus habits that can help you build long-term success.  Our guest is Dr. Karla Klingensmith. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Roanoke College, went to dental school at the University of Pittsburgh where she also got her Master's in Public Health. Did her GRP at Lehigh Valley Hospital where she is an attending and is now the owner of Evergrow Dental in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where she is passionate about helping patients achieve lasting oral health by uncovering the root causes of dental disease. Dr. Klingensmith is the chair of the American Dental Association's New Dentist Committee. Dr. Klingensmith's family includes her husband and her two standard poodles. She enjoys reading, crafting, and gardening.  Many dentists are surprised by how different practice is from dental school. Dr. Klingensmith discusses the challenges, expectations, and lessons that often catch new dentists off guard during their first job, including sharing her own first job experience.  When evaluating that first job search, should new dentists prioritize compensation or focus on finding the best learning environment? Dr. Klingensmith explains why the right experience early in your career can shape long-term growth, confidence, and success, and how to best evaluate what matters most to you.  Dr. Klingensmith shares the questions every dentist should ask before accepting a job offer, including how to evaluate mentorship opportunities, spot red flags during the interview process, connect with dentists already in the practice, and understand important contract provisions, such as restrictive covenants.  The group discusses that confidence takes time to build and reminds new dentists to give themselves grace as they develop their skills. The conversation explores how to approach unfamiliar procedures, embrace continuous learning, knowing your worth, and recognizing that competence is earned through experience, not expected on day one.  Landing the job is just the beginning. Dr. Klingensmith shares what professional development looks like during the early years of practice, including the skills that matter most, how to create a personal growth plan for yourself, and how dentists can make the most of even a few hours each month dedicated to learning and career development.  Knowing when to stay and when to move on from a job can be one of the biggest career decisions a dentist makes. Dr. Klingensmith discusses when she knew it was time to move on, and the signs that it may be time for a change.   Dr. Klingensmith says that the important financial decisions new dentists should be thinking about from the start include managing debt, evaluating compensation, and building healthy financial habits.   What are the five things every new dentist should do during the first five years after dental school? Dr. Klingensmith shares the five good habits that helped her stay on track, from committing to continuing education and mentorship to building strong financial and professional foundations.    Resources  Get the news you need to help you thrive in your career and life – focused on the challenges you face early in your career.  Explore the early career dentist success hub – what early career dentists rely on in their career, practice and financial future.  Map out your career goals, evaluate options and make confident career moves with this career planning resources.   Learn how to evaluate your employment contract and protect your interests with this "What to Know before Signing" E-book.   Questions about the associate-to-ownership path?

Today on The Gist, guest host Bryan Green introduces Mike Pesca's two-part conversation with physician, epidemiologist, and former Detroit health director Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. In part one, El-Sayed discusses the collision between digital misinformation and biological virality, the systemic communication failures of the public health establishment, and how political polarization undermined basic scientific realities. In part two, they examine the pharmaceutical industry, weighing public gratitude for rapid vaccine rollouts against the reality of taxpayer-funded research and corporate profit motives, before breaking down how deep-seated structural racism and historical economic policy drive stark racial health disparities.Stop online threats before they become real-world attacks.

About this episode:   Life expectancies for those living with HIV are nearly identical to those living without the virus, thanks to groundbreaking advancements in medicine and care. But that data point doesn't tell the full story about the unique needs and nuanced challenges facing those with HIV, particularly as that population skews increasingly older. In this episode: Keri Althoff and Vanessa Johnson, co-authors of a new report on aging and HIV, explain why and how prevention and treatment should adapt to support lifelong health. Guest:  Keri N. Althoff, PhD, MPH, is a professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Vanessa Johnson, MPA, JD, is a recognized advocate, community leader, and champion for people living with HIV. She is the co-executive director at Ribbon, a social justice organization, and senior advisor to ROC4Aging+, a project that seeks to improve quality of life for those aging with HIV.

In this episode, Howard Farran welcomes back Dr. Ann Marie Gorczyca for her sixth appearance on the show. An orthodontist with more than 36 years of experience, she is a graduate of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine with a Master's in Public Health from Harvard's Department of Health Management and Policy, completed her orthodontic residency at Northwestern, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and Past President of the Northern California Angle Society of Orthodontists. She taught practice management to orthodontic residents in the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly a decade, leads her team at Gorczyca Orthodontics in Antioch, California, and is the author of five practice management books — with her sixth and final entry in the series, One Team, One Score, arriving in September 2026. The conversation centers on leadership as the capstone of everything she's written. Dr. Gorczyca explains what "One Team, One Score" actually means, walks through the four forms of leadership — authoritative, bureaucratic, democratic, and laissez-faire — and how a dentist knows which to use and when. She shares what she learned studying leaders like Alan Mulally, Indra Nooyi, and Ursula Burns, why the single word "WE" changes the dynamic of an entire practice, and the "Achilles' heel" she sees in women leaders and how she coaches them through it. She and Howard also dig into the deceptively simple communication rules teams still get wrong, the warrior-versus-victim mindset in daily practice, where most dental teams get stuck in the forming-storming-norming-performing cycle, and the right way to address insubordination before it quietly poisons a team. The episode closes on a fitting note: quoting Michelangelo at 87 saying "I am still learning," Dr. Gorczyca reflects on what she's still figuring out after 36 years and six books.   Episode #1740 : Dentistry Uncensored with Howard Farran, Howard welcomes back Dr. Ann Marie Gorczyca — orthodontist, author, and practice management expert — for her sixth appearance on the show! With 36+ years in orthodontics and a Harvard DMD and MPH behind her, Dr. Gorczyca joins to discuss her sixth and final book, One Team, One Score. From the four styles of leadership to the warrior-versus-victim mindset, she breaks down how great dental teams are actually built.

The bipartisan 2016 Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act (Lautenberg) Amendments enacted extensive changes to the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) that many hoped would set the law on a new course, address its widely recognized challenges, and accelerate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) actions to address public health threats. Since then, four administrations have put their mark on implementation of the amended law. The past ten years have seemed like a roller coaster of competing legal interpretations of some of the Lautenberg Amendments' most significant provisions, scientific debate and analyses, rulemakings, delays in meeting TSCA deadlines, and major milestones. To celebrate Lautenberg's ten-year anniversary, the Environmental Law Institute, the George Washington Milken Institute School of Public Health, and B&C convened an all-day conference: TSCA Reform -- Ten Years Later. The podcast you are about to hear is the panel discussion on ten years of Lautenberg: where are we? Unsurprisingly, views vary widely on whether we are on the right track in achieving Congress's goals, whether amending TSCA was successful, whether EPA's efforts over the past decade are achieving the law's public health goals, and whether, as we look back ten years, we need to reimagine our core approach to chemical regulation or stay the course. This discussion includes diverse stakeholders steeped in TSCA debating these questions. ALL MATERIALS IN THIS PODCAST ARE PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL  AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES.

Williams and John Driscoll to discuss how four decades of free market ideology reshaped American medicine, why corporate consolidation is the single biggest driver of healthcare inflation today, and what it would actually take to build a system where everyone is covered and nobody is left outside.

Americans are living longer—but not necessarily better. A new concept gaining traction called “peakspan,” is changing the conversation from how long we live to how long we feel strong, energized, and mentally sharp.The reality is concerning: we're not just aging, we're aging with more disease. According to a recent study in Frontiers in Public Health, the number of Americans over 50 with at least one chronic condition is expected to nearly double by 2050, reaching more than 142 million.For many Americans, this isn't abstract, it's personal: rising anxiety about aging and retirement, chronic pain, poor sleep, and low energy becoming the new normal, all while the cost of staying healthy continues to add stress instead of relief.Available for Interview:Edward Jones is a longevity expert and natural health pioneer, bringing more than 40 years of real-world experience helping people take control of their health—without extreme biohacking or expensive routines.At 68, he's in peak physical condition, competes in bodybuilding competitions, and has built a 95K following on TikTok by sharing practical, no-nonsense wellness strategies. What makes his story compelling is that he's lived the decline many Americans fear—chronic pain, fatigue, and mobility issues (being reliant on a walker to get around)—and reversed it after the age of 50 through consistent, natural, healthy habits.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Healthcare in general, and health costs in particular, are a top issue for voters in 2026. But it remains unclear exactly how voters want lawmakers to fix the problem. As a result, candidates in both parties are offering a wide variety of possible solutions. Meanwhile, the Trump administration doubled down on its fraud-fighting efforts, announcing that it is cutting off more than 750,000 enrollees in Affordable Care Act insurance plans who it alleges are defrauding the program. Tami Luhby of CNN, Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine, and Sarah Jane Tribble of KFF Health News join KFF Health News' Julie Rovner to discuss these stories and more. Visit our website to read a transcript of this episode.Plus, for “extra credit” the panelists suggest health policy stories they read this week that they think you should read, too: Julie Rovner: KFF Health News' “The Drugs and Devices Have Been on the Market for Years.

As many of our listeners know from news reports, emergency departments have been under enormous strain in recent years trying to manage overcrowding, the opioid addiction crisis, the consequences of an under-resourced mental health system, and rising rates of violence against staff, among many other challenges. But our guest today guest thinks there's something else that should top that list. "I think hands down the most important issue is the reimbursement model," says Dr. Ryan Stanton, president-elect of the American College of Emergency Physicians. Dr. Stanton's uniquely-informed view is built on his work leading a physician-owned group staffing two Kentucky emergency departments, serving as EMS medical director for Lexington-Fayette County, and overseeing on-track medical response crews for auto racing series such as NASCAR. In this candid conversation with Raise the Line from Elsevier host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Stanton traces how underpayment from insurers is squeezing physicians and warping the incentives of emergency care, and why he believes the profession's ability to advocate collectively, not individually, is what will move the needle. This informative episode also explores: Why he thinks physician autonomy is the antidote to burnout; His approach to communicating medical information as a TV commentator; What it's like providing care at a NASCAR race when the “car is still smoking.” Mentioned in this episode: American College of Emergency Physicians If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Data modernization is helping public health agencies strengthen their systems, improve data analysis, and respond more quickly to emerging health threats. Colin Gerber, senior program analyst at the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, discusses the Data Science Team Training program, an initiative that helps public health staff build data science skills while working on projects that address their agencies' priorities.  Gerber explains how the program supports state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments through project-based training, professional development, subject matter expert coaching, and peer collaboration. He also shares examples of participating teams, including a tribal health department that built a disease surveillance system from scratch and a Los Angeles County project that helped hospitals monitor potential surges in capacity. Finally, he discusses how the program can benefit tribal public health professionals and how agencies can apply.Data Science Team Training (DSTT) | Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE)Legislative Action Bridging Public Health and Clinical Health Care | ASTHO2026 Telehealth Needs Assessment | ASTHO25 Years After 9/11, World Trade Center Toxins Continue to Claim Lives

Fitz Koehler is a fitness expert, race announcer, author, and breast cancer survivor whose career spans decades of helping people move, train, and live healthier lives. After earning a master's degree in exercise and sport sciences, she built the Fitzness brand, launched the Morning Mile school fitness program, and became one of the country's most recognizable voices at endurance events before cancer abruptly shifted the conversation. She spent 15 months enduring chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation after discovering breast cancer shortly after receiving a clean mammogram. She kept traveling, announcing races, and working through treatment while watching the body she had spent a lifetime building become weaker by the week. Instead of asking why cancer happened, she focused on the only things she believed remained under her control: movement, nutrition, sleep, and mental health. The conversation explores where personal agency ends and biology takes over. Koehler argues that exercise is not about chasing perfection or preventing every diagnosis. It is about building physical reserve before illness arrives and preserving strength, mobility, and independence during treatment. She rejects wellness snake oil, fad supplements, and miracle cures in favor of practical habits rooted in exercise science and lived experience. The discussion also confronts a harder truth. Koehler did everything “right” and still developed cancer. That tension becomes the center of the episode. Fitness cannot eliminate randomness, but it can influence how people experience treatment, recover from surgery, and reclaim their lives afterward. The conversation moves beyond motivation and into survivorship, exercise oncology, cancer rehabilitation, evidence-based nutrition, and the limits of individual control inside a healthcare system that often tells patients what they should do without showing them how to do it. Along the way, the conversation wanders through kickboxing, Cinnabon, Jean-Claude Van Damme, chocolate-covered Cheetos, Jerry Seinfeld playing during chemotherapy stretches, and why the simplest advice is often the hardest to follow. Beneath the humor sits a larger argument: preparing the body for hardship is not about living forever. It is about living better when life inevitably gets difficult.
