In this episode, Janet Michael, host of The Valley Today, spoke with Jenny Grooms, the Executive Director for the foundations of Valley Health, about the innovative Stronger Together campaign. This initiative aims to enhance various aspects of healthcare in the Valley Health system, focusing on mental health, heart health, and extending care accessibility. Valley Health, a nonprofit health system, relies on its foundation to segregate charitable dollars from operational funds. Jenny highlighted their recent projects at Warren Memorial Hospital, which features recreational trails and the Bedside Connect program. These initiatives underscore the dual importance of physical and mental well-being for both patients and healthcare staff. The trails offer a mental respite for the staff, while Bedside Connect minimizes the need for families to travel, allowing remote interactions with patients and doctors. The Stronger Together campaign addresses three primary pillars - mental health, heart health, and accessibility. The mental health aspect emerged from a community health needs assessment, identifying mental health as a top priority. Plans include building a mental health pavilion with comprehensive outpatient programs. For heart health, the campaign will expand the heart and vascular center, adding procedure rooms and new technologies to improve treatments for conditions like atrial fibrillation. The accessibility pillar focuses on creating a mobile fleet for health clinics and mammography to reach underserved rural areas. Valley Health is leveraging technology to bring healthcare directly to the community. The mobile mammography unit and the mobile health clinic are ground-breaking initiatives designed to overcome the barriers of distance and transportation, which are significant issues in the rural region. The mobile units offer services such as screenings and telehealth consultations, making it easier for individuals to receive timely care without the stress of extensive travel, thereby promoting better health outcomes. Funding for the Stronger Together campaign has been a community-driven effort. The campaign, with an ambitious goal of raising $20 million over three years, has already secured $17.1 million during its initial phase. Contributions have come from various avenues such as individual donors, grants, and matching funds. Valley Health emphasizes flexible giving options, allowing donors to contribute through methods like IRAs, stocks, or even estate inclusion. Jenny explains that charitable giving not only benefits the community but also offers tax advantages to the donors. She encourages those interested to visit Valley Health's website for detailed information and to explore diverse giving options. The heartfelt conversation also shed light on how Valley Health ensures transparency and efficiency in utilizing donations. The collaborative efforts from medical staff, businesses, and community members are pivotal in achieving the campaign's goals. Such collective participation underscores the campaign's theme - being stronger together. Jenny affirmed that every contribution, no matter how small, plays a significant role in providing better healthcare infrastructure and services. For more information or to make a contribution, community members are encouraged to visit Valley Health's website at valleyhealthlink.com/stronger. The online portal offers easy navigation to learn more about the campaign, its impact, and how to get involved.

Dr. Kevin Kremer reveals his powerful "Three C's" framework—Customer, Culture, and Company—that drives success in healthcare practices. As the visionary behind Kremer Dental Care, New Smile Now, and the Kremer Leadership Institute, and author of "Quantum Accountability," Dr. Kremer shares proven strategies that have turned struggling practices into thriving businesses.The customer experience hinges on seemingly small but crucial details – like the 10-foot rule of acknowledgment, proper handoffs between team members, and ensuring patients are never left unattended during their visit. These service elements create the foundation for practice loyalty and growth.Building a thriving culture means creating an environment where change is embraced rather than feared. Dr. Kremer details his systematic approach to team management through weekly check-ins between leads and team members, establishing regular feedback loops that prevent burnout and enhance performance. This democratic approach ensures team members feel heard while maintaining clear direction.Perhaps most revealing is Dr. Kremer's discussion of financial health through comprehensive KPI tracking. He shares the remarkable story of a burned-out dentist making under $70,000 despite working four days weekly, whose income tripled after implementing proper business systems while simultaneously improving patient care.Beyond practice management, Dr. Kremer introduces the concept of "mental obesity" – how our minds are becoming overwhelmed by digital stimulation just as our bodies struggle with processed foods. The constant dopamine hits from smartphones and social media create addiction patterns that directly impact our productivity and happiness. His practical approach to implementing technology "guardrails" offers a path to reclaiming mental wellness.Ready to transform your practice through accountability and strategic implementation?

Note: This episode was recorded on December 17, 2024, and reflects the policy landscape and political context of that time. When Krista Drobac arrived in Washington, D.C., fresh out of college, she had no car, no connections, and no clear path—just a determination to make a difference in politics. What began as a leap of faith quickly turned into a lifelong mission to transform healthcare policy. Today, as a founding partner of Sirona Strategies, Krista is a driving force behind some of the most innovative approaches to care delivery—from telehealth to home-based models. Her career took root in the late 1990s, when she led a groundbreaking campaign for stem cell research, uniting patient groups to advocate for life-changing treatments. Since then, Krista has become a trusted voice in healthcare policy. She is a true leader focused on spotting growth opportunities and mitigating risks stemming from policy changes at both federal and state levels. By merging market dynamics with regulatory shifts in Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial care, she guides companies—from startups to Fortune 10 giants—in building models of care that capture new opportunities. With deep relationships across both industry and government, and a rich history in the United States Senate, the Obama Administration, the National Governors Association, and state government, she is uniquely qualified to spot trends that drive change. In addition, she founded three coalitions dedicated to ensuring patients have access to telehealth, more home-based care, and integrated social services. In our conversation, Krista takes us behind the scenes of her journey—from her early days advocating for stem cell research to her current efforts to revolutionize care delivery. She opens up about the challenges of balancing innovation with affordability, the importance of addressing the root causes of chronic disease, and why now is the time for bold, transformative ideas in healthcare.

We all recognize that American healthcare is a badly broken system. Wildly overpriced, exploitative, with a focus on pharmaceuticals and medical procedures to the exclusion of basic issues such as nutrition, the role of nutrients, and the microbiome. Can we expect doctors, healthcare executives, pharma or medical device executives to find better solutions? I highly doubt it. One of the problems plaguing conventional delivery of healthcare is that doctors lack the time, knowledge, and frankly the interest in spending more time with their patients, hearing about their issues, then creating solutions that address their unique concerns. Enter the age of health coaches. A number of years ago, when I first heard about this phenomenon, of heath coaches playing a role in the delivery of health, I was skeptical. But over the past decade, as I've worked with health coaches, witnessed what they could accomplish, and heard plenty of positive feedback from the public engaging their services, my opinions about health coaching has completely changed. I now see them as part of the engine that will drive improvements in healthcare. I therefore tracked down Sandra Scheinbaum, a Phd clinical psychologist who counseled patients for many years but then diverted her career into functional medicine and health coaching, bringing the unique insights into human behavior and emotions that came from decades of practicing clinical psychology, now applied to health coaching. Dr. Scheinbaum founded the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy that educates and trains people in acquiring the skills and knowledge to practice as a health coach. She is also author of several books including Functional Medicine Coaching: Stories from the Movement That's Transforming Healthcare, and her newest book, Your Health Coach Will See You Now available in April 2025 on Amazon and selected bookstores. In this episode of Defiant Health, Dr. Scheinbaum recounts how she made this change in direction and what she foresees for the future of this important phenomenon of health coaching.For more information:FunctionalMedicineCoaching.org___________________________________________________________________For BiotiQuest probiotics including Sugar Shift, go here.A 15% discount is available for Defiant Health podcast listeners by entering discount code UNDOC15 (case-sensitive) at checkout.*_________________________________________________________________________________Get your 15% Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, low-carb snack bars and other high-quality organic foods here.* For 12% off every order of grass-fed and pasture-raised meats from Wild Pastures, go Support the showBooks: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed
