If you listened to our podcast today, you will have heard how about two years ago Tim Alden was Diagnosed with Dementia.  Now, this is not that unusual. 10 million cases are diagnosed annually.  What is unusual was the good humored determination with which they set out to navigate this stage of life. We're lucky to have Tam's story below, as originally published in The Voice, publication of Panorama.org Also available is the heart warming  movie made for PanoramaTV, produced by Brian Hovis. We've embedded that in Tam's story at https://itsnevertoolate.com/tim-and-tam-a-love-story-for-today for you to watch. A New Wave to Ride BY TAMRA ALDEN From The Voice It's fear. Fear that people will see our gray hair, glasses, unfashionable clothing and make quick assumptions of who we are, old people on the downhill side of life, with slow reflexes, expressing world views seen through a 70+ year old lens of history, and now out of touch. The last thing we want to be accused of is “losing it” mentally. These were my thoughts when I began noticing my husband of 53 years doing things that seemed a bit off. I didn't want to accuse him of “losing it.” So, I quietly observed and became more aware, going behind with corrections if needed. About a year later, a trip to Urgent Care changed our world. We thought it would be a simple diagnosis of a bladder infection. Lab results were negative for that, but it piqued the doctor's curiosity enough to request a brain scan, which eventually revealed microvascular dementia. This dire diagnosis opened doors to a brighter world for both of us. READ MORE of Tamra's article at https://itsnevertoolate.com/tim-and-tam-a-love-story-for-today Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick and Michael are breaking down one of the most misunderstood dynamics in urgent care growth: the difference between brand-driven growth and service-driven growth — and why playing in the wrong lane can quietly drain your clinic's potential.Whether you're running a multi-location chain or a single-location startup, this episode will help you diagnose what's really driving (or stalling) your patient volume.Drawing from real conversations, discovery calls, and lessons from 200+ episodes, Nick and Michael unpack:

Topics discussed on today's show: Back to the Future Day, Sports News, Peanut Allergies, Mailman Out with STD, Toilet Cam, Frank's Urgent Care, Robot Eye, School Buses, Dangerous Jobs, Birthdays, History Quiz, Brothers Shooting, Constipation Relief, Gun and..., Days To Book Travel, Turkey Prices, Rice Stones, Finders Keepers, Get The Fake Out, Finding Bigfoot, Probably White, and Apologies.

Lumos Diagnostics Senior Vice President Paul Kase joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss a major milestone for the company — the signing of an agreement with WellStreet Urgent Care to accelerate testing and reimbursement pathways for its FebriDx® rapid host-response test. The initiative will be launched through WellStreet's joint venture with Piedmont Urgent Care in Atlanta, Georgia, marking a key step toward broader US adoption. Under the program, FebriDx will be deployed at a Piedmont Urgent Care site handling approximately 50 respiratory-infection patients per day, providing Lumos with high-quality operational data on workflow efficiency, patient outcomes, and payer engagement. Kase explained that WellStreet will procure FebriDx through PHASE Scientific and submit reimbursement claims for each test, while Pro-spectus will oversee billing data management and claims analysis. This collaborative approach is designed to generate real-world evidence to support the development of comprehensive reimbursement and coverage policies with major U.S. insurers. Pending the granting of a CLIA waiver for FebriDx, Lumos and WellStreet plan to expand the program nationwide, leveraging insights from the pilot to guide a potential rollout across more than 140 WellStreet urgent care locations across the United States. Kase added, “This partnership represents a major step in bringing FebriDx to scale in the U.S. healthcare system. By validating operational efficiency and demonstrating reimbursement viability, we're building the foundation for widespread clinical adoption of a test that helps physicians quickly differentiate between bacterial and viral infections.” #proactiveinvestors #lumosdiagnosticsholdings #asx #ldx #otc #ldxhf #LumosDiagnostics #FebriDx #PointOfCareTesting #HealthcareInnovation #UrgentCare #DiagnosticTesting #InfectionDetection #AntibioticStewardship #MedicalTechnology #ProactiveInvestors

If it feels like urgent care centers are everywhere these days — that's because they are. Over the past decade, they've exploded in popularity, offering a quick and convenient alternative to long waits at the ER, and even longer waits to see your primary care provider. On this episode, we explore the rise of urgent care, from the role of private equity to its impact on patient care.

When most clinics talk growth, they talk volume. But at Denver Health's Peña Urgent Care, leadership means something deeper. In this episode, Michael and Nick sit down with Dr. Lindsey Fish—Medical Director, educator, researcher, and community leader—to explore what it really means to deliver care where it's needed most.With over a decade of hands-on experience serving underserved populations, Dr. Fish shares how her clinic, embedded within a safety-net system, balances high acuity care with compassion, equity, and resilience. From federally qualified funding structures to a radically human-first approach to leadership, this conversation pulls back the curtain on a side of urgent care that's often unseen—but incredibly impactful.We talk about the growing importance of primary care, how urgent care and academic medicine intersect, and why true healthcare transformation starts by listening—to both patients and providers.This episode is full of insight for healthcare leaders, clinicians, and operators who believe in building something bigger than business.

She explains how DPC allowed her to break free from the rigid constraints and time pressures typical of value-based care models, granting her the autonomy to practice truly patient-centered medicine, focus on preventive care, and build long-term relationships with patients and her community.Register HERE for the Physician Attendees ONLY RiseUP Summit brought to you by FlexMed Staff & My DPC Story!

Veterinary general practice is undergoing a dramatic transformation. What used to be a steady stream of wellness check-ups and minor issues has shifted into a relentless wave of sick pets, urgent care needs, and same-day emergencies. Across the country, clinics are feeling the pressure, and many teams are struggling to keep up. In this week's episode of The Veterinary Viewfinder, Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, break down why this shift is happening and how practices can adapt before burnout sets in. They explore how urgent, unpredictable cases disrupt scheduling, overwhelm support staff, and create an emotionally charged environment that's exhausting for everyone, from veterinarians to client service representatives. The hosts share practical strategies to regain control, starting with improved team communication: daily huddles to align priorities, triage systems to manage the rush, and debriefs to help staff process tough cases. They also discuss the importance of educating clients and setting realistic expectations to reduce chaos and improve workflow. Whether you're a practice owner, manager, or team member, this episode offers a clear roadmap for navigating today's urgent-care-driven landscape. Success isn't about working harder; it's about working smarter together to protect your team, your patients, and your passion for veterinary medicine. #VeterinaryPodcast #VetMed #VetLife #VeterinaryMedicine #VetTechLife #VeterinaryProfession #VetClinicLife #AnimalHealth

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Ezra J. Ameis, DVM. Located in Los Angeles, CA, Dr. Ezra opened his veterinary practice, Paw Priority, with the goal of offering both Urgent Care and General Practice with a personal touch. Most veterinarian offices today are owned or being bought by large corporations, which often values serving a large quantity of patience over care giving care with compassion. It's often hard to get the same veterinarian for all appointments, too, which mean continuity of care for the pets they see is often lost, sometimes leading to misdiagnosis. Tune in and listen as Dr. Ezra explains how his veterinarian practice focuses on pet care in a compassionate setting. His clinic, is “dedicated to delivering the highest standard of medical care that your pet rightfully deserves”. As a bonus, we'll also be discussing how Acupuncture for our pets has changed many pets' lives for the better.EPISODE NOTES: Breaking the Corporate Mold: A Vet Who Puts Pets First Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/19-cats-and-counting-on-pet-life-radio-petliferadio-com--6667858/support.

Is Veterinary General Practice Dying? On this week's Veterinary Viewfinder, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward and credentialed veterinary technician, Beckie Mossor, MPA, RVT, ask the question many teams are whispering. Routine wellness is slipping while urgent and ER traffic rises. The hosts dig into what is driving the shift: cost sensitivity, weekday access barriers, and changing client expectations after COVID. They explain why prevention must mean more than vaccines and a fecal test, and how to reframe value around early disease detection, chronic care, and client outcomes. Our hosts discuss some practical fixes you can try: add short sick-visit blocks without disrupting the schedule, pilot limited urgent-care hours, rotate doctors to conserve energy, and coach teams for tougher conversations and better handoffs. They also share ways to keep pets from “ping-ponging” across town by coordinating with nearby clinics. The goal is not to turn back the clock. It is to meet current demand while keeping general veterinary medicine strong, margins healthy, and staff morale intact. #VeterinaryViewfinder #VetMed #VeterinaryMedicine #VeterinaryPodcast #GeneralPractice #UrgentCare #PreventiveCare #AccessToCare #PracticeManagement #ClientCommunication #VeterinaryTeam #ContinuingEducation
