You may not notice that there is a large presence of incarcerated settings in rural America. Nearly 40% of state prisons are in rural areas. People who are incarcerated have unique healthcare needs, facing higher rates of mental illness, substance abuse, and chronic illness than the general population. This week on Rural Health Leadership Radio Charles Mathias, Professor and Director of Innovation & Impact Organization at UT Health San Antonio, discusses how rural communities play a role in providing healthcare to incarcerated persons. In our conversation with Charles, we talk about the challenges of healthcare for incarcerated persons and what the future might look like.  “Incarceration is not intended to be a healthcare setting, but they really are the biggest one in many communities when it comes to mental health”  -Charles Mathias Dr. Mathias is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UT Health San Antonio.  His research focuses on improving health outcomes stemming from behavioral health risk and its interaction with community systems.  His policy work applies a Culture of Health Framework in promoting solutions for population well-being through cross-sector collaboration.  He is an alumnus of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellowship, Dr. Mathias guides RTTC activities related to strategic communication and health policy.

The number of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) procedures increased rapidly in the last years and so have its complications. The main pillars in treating failed TAA are revision total ankle arthroplasty (RTAA), revision total ankle arthrodesis (RAA), or revision tibiotalocalcaneal fusion (RTTC). To evaluate these options, we compared clinical, radiologic, and patient-reported outcomes.   In conclusion, this retrospective study suggests lower failure rates, increased short-term survival and a better clinical outcomes of revision arthroplasty and tibiotalocalcaneal fusion than ankle arthrodesis. Revision arthroplasty is a promising solution in treating failed total ankle arthroplasty considering lower rate of subsequent adjacent joint degeneration.   To view the article, click here.

When we think of the book the Jonah, I imagine we usually think 'whale'. Jonah though is really a book that reminds us that we can do everything wrong and God will save us. The breadth & length, height, & depth of God’s mercy eclipses even our greatest flaws & our biggest blunders. God's way is the way of love and mercy. There is nothing we can do that will separate us from the love of God. When we recognize ourselves as God’s beloved, we also discover that others, even those we hate, are God’s beloved as well

How hard is it for you to invite Jesus to stay with you? For the disciples on their way to Emmaus, it was an act of radical hospitality. They felt compelled by their burning hearts to extend an invitation to Jesus to stay with them. Jesus accepted their invitation and in the end it was Jesus who hosted them. Jesus isn't a single serving friend but rather a constant companion who is always with us.

We all know what it's like to be a doubting Thomas. Doubts are in fact a normal part of life. Jesus though calls us to a faith that trusts in Jesus' resurrection and all its implications without seeing the holes in his hands and feet.

The tomb was empty. Christ arose. The earth shaking events of the resurrection changed the world. God conquered death, eliminated the need for fear, and reconciled all things. Because of what God did, we have new life. Christ is risen...Christ is risen indeed!

Jesus entered Jerusalem to a lot of fanfare. People wondered who he was and what he was about. Only kings entered Jerusalem the way Jesus did. Was Jesus a king? Would he liberate the world? The hype said yes. So, do you believe the hype?

Even in the midst of uncertainly and suffering, God, in a gnat-life fashion, provides opportunities for life. The Beatitudes show us how God creates, and we can see, space for new life, even in the midst of a pandemic.

COVID-19 has taken over our lives. Our new normal is made up of social distancing and self-isolation. In times like these staying connected to each other and to God is essential. All are invited as we gather around what we hope is an online oasis otherwise known as God's sanctuary. As Jesus said, "Where two or more gather, there I am." He didn't say it had it be in person! Today's scripture is Matthew 5: 7-8 and we'll be exploring what it means to be merciful and pure of heart. Jesus has some hard and yet good wisdom for us during these difficult days. Wisdom that also reminds us even in the worst of times, because is God is good and merciful, we can abide in Him as he abides in us.

Rummaging through the Cupboards seeks to bring hospitality to an inhospitable word, especially now as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

An interview with Evens Paul, co-founder & current executive director of Sustainable Action International (SAI) and Jim Jones, Vice Chairman of Sustainable Action International (SAI). They share the story of and all the amazing work SAI is doing in La Victoire, Haiti demonstrating how hospitality is the center piece of what SAI does. They also discuss how coming alongside and working with the Haitian people has cultivated and continues to contribute to the economic and educational development as well as improved health and healthcare that is transforming La Victoire from an impoverished community to a self-sufficient and self-dependent community. Interspersed throughout is great wisdom for leaders looking to cultivate more sustainable and equitable communities.
