Podcasts about public health analyst

Jason Cecil - like all of us - is defined by more than just a job; he's a husband, Dekalb County Ethics Board alternate, President of the LGBTQ+ recovery community-serving GALANO Club, to name a few of his attribuets. His job at the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) was really important, too, though. Until yesterday, he had been a Public Health Analyst in Global Immunizations since 2003, focusing on polio eradication, measles elimination, and immunization systems strengthening, before a promotion to the CDC division on Global HIV and TB. To hear him tell it, his was the division hit hardest by yesterday's cuts. Remember the DOGE-Elon Musk-Karen Leavitt-Donald Trump lie about $50 million for condoms "to Hamas?" Well, Mozambique in Africa has a Gaza province and none of those intellectual heavyweights distinguished between the two and even the monetary figure (and condoms, altogether) were overblown. It's the division Jason had been working in - global HIV and TB - that all along was " major, multi-pronged effort to address HIV and tuberculosis — not a dump of condoms."Well, Jason's no longer working in a capacity to deliver results for the George W. Bush-launched PEPFAR: the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. It was on World AIDS Day in 2022 that Bush returned to Washington (a rarity) to tout the two decades of PEPFAR's accomplishments. Yes, that Bush. Anyhow, Jason was kind enough to join me today to share his RIF experience, reaction, emotions and insights into what being a federal employee in such a necessary agency has been like since Trump was re-elected last November. Were contingency plans being made? Any "offloading" or "lifeboating" of research and data? What was the mood in the hallways like? What's next for career civil servants like him?

She herself lives with uterine fibroids, and shares her story to help break down the walls of silence that surround this common — and commonly unknown — gynecological condition. Tune in as Nkem shares: that she was first diagnosed with uterine fibroids in 2015 because of excessive bleeding and clots that she normalized her body’s gynecological dysfunction until she was entirely unable to function at all that she developed cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) to compensate for the lack of blood in her body caused by uterine fibroids that she has yet to have fibroid surgery because of (not unreasonable) fears about the process that she has been prescribed various forms of birth control to manage her bleeding that BC is masking her symptoms and not treating the root cause, but she’s been working through her own fears about fibroid surgery her concerns about fertility in relation to the presence of her fibroids that she didn’t know how to effectively advocate for herself until she became a member of The White Dress Project that she felt immense shame about her diagnosis until she made a friend who showed compassion and encouraged her to seek further care (and yes, people who work at HHS can indeed feel timid about their own health!) that based on her research, individuals living with HIV are more likely to be victims of intimate partner violence (IPV)…and those living with intimate partner violence are more likely to contract HIV the importance of community in patient advocacy — and how this work can strengthen our humanity how collective action can make a difference how fibroids have affected her relationships and experiences from whence she draws her strength why your relationship with your healthcare providers should be a partnership in your care
