For far too long, women have faced disparities in healthcare that put their well-being at risk. Today's guest, Dr. Mary O'Connor, has seen firsthand how the healthcare system often fails to meet women's unique needs. She has dedicated her career to addressing health disparities that negatively impact women. She shares her insights on why women do not always receive the same quality of care as men and how health coaches and other wellness practitioners can support women facing health disparities.   In this episode, we talk about: Health disparities faced by women, particularly women in rural areas The role of social determinants of health and access to healthcare in creating disparities How sex and gender impact medical conditions and access to care  The reason why women do not receive the same health care as men Importance of considering sex in medical research Dr. Mary's book Taking Care of You to empower women to address their health disparities Role of education, social support between women, and advocacy in addressing health disparities Actions healthcare practitioners can take to support women facing disparities   Memorable Quotes “A health disparity is when a certain group of people don't receive the same quality of health care as another group.” “Self-love is important, and being comfortable with yourself and your body is very important. But that doesn't mean it's healthy for you. Being overweight and being obese is not healthy for you.” “You need to find a doctor or nurse practitioner that you trust. And that means someone who will listen to you.” “As women, we are painted with this umbrella, that we exaggerate our symptoms, that we're histrionic. And so, when women talk about concerns or problems in the traditional system, they get diminished, minimized… it's important that your doctor, nurse believe what you're telling them.”   BIO:  Mary I.

Research findings from Mayo Clinic & published in the Journal of the American Heart Association at the end of 2022 found that “participating in religious activities, from church services to private prayer, as well as holding deep spiritual beliefs, are linked to better cardiovascular health among Black Americans.” According to Dr Brewer of the Mayo Clinic, multiple socially determined challenges which were magnified by COVID-19 are preventing African Americans from living their best lives by following a healthy lifestyle to prevent heart disease. The recent study focused on better understanding some of the psychosocial influences on health behavior change among African Americans, and in particular following those activities as defined by The American Heart Association's “Life's Essential 8TM.” These include eating well, being active, quitting tobacco, healthy sleep, weight management, controlling cholesterol, managing blood sugar, & managing blood pressure.  The study found that increased church attendance and spirituality was associated with higher levels of physical activity and less smoking, suggesting that having social support and an optimistic outlook may also encourage individuals to practice healthy behaviors. Today's discussion features Robert “Clarence” Jones, M. Ed., CPH, CHW, CPE, Executive Director at the Hue-MAN Partnership and a Community Engagement Strategist, along with Mayo Clinic cardiologist and study lead author Dr. LaPrincess Brewer, MD, MPH, whose primary research focus is in developing strategies to reduce and ultimately eliminate cardiovascular disease health disparities in racial and ethnic minority populations and in underserved communities. Dr. Brewer is also an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic. This episode is hosted by Dr. Mary O'Connor, Chair of Movement is Life and Co-Founder of Vori Health.

In a recent white paper, “Normalize DEI in Your Organization,” professors at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business discuss common barriers to real progress in DEI, and offer evidence-based steps that can help transform DEI efforts from siloed side-projects to core systems embraced throughout an organization's culture and practices. For this episode of the podcast, one of the authors, a UVA Professor, explores the findings of the white paper with two surgeons, one of whom is her father. Together they discuss the importance of inter-generational change, "positive weirdness" and some unique aspects of DEI in healthcare. The white paper references the following framework: Five barriers and pathways to DEI    1) The Identity Regulation Barrier, 2) The Authority Barrier, 3) The Things Are Working Well for Me Barrier, 4) The Inertia Barrier, 5) The Motivation Barrier. Five pathways to DEI    1) Build a More Inclusive Hiring Process, 2) Design for Intelligent Inclusion, 3) Enable Mindful Conversations, 4) Empower Mentorship and Sponsorship, 5) Leverage Identity.  Featuring Professor Laura Morgan Roberts, Associate Professor of Business Administration, Darden Business School, & CEO and Founder, The Alignment Quest Enterprise, LLC; Randall C. Morgan, Jr., M.D., M.B.A., Clinical Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Florida State School of Medicine, President & CEO, Cobb Institute; and episode host Mary O'Connor, MD, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer, Vori Health, & Chair, Movement is Life.  “Normalize DEI in Your Organization” (link to article & White Paper): https://news.darden.virginia.edu/2022/09/02/new-white-paper-normalize-dei/  "Positive Organizing in a Global Society" https://www.amazon.com/Positive-Organizing-Global-Society-Roberts/dp/1848725760     Excerpts  “Practice expressing your positive weirdness. It gives others permission to bring out their weird. Differences are assets and resources for organizations, not problems to be solved.” “Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts in the corporate world remain a vortex of passion, malaise, hope and cynicism, despite overwhelming evidence that diverse and inclusive workplaces simply perform better.”   “DEI does not often generate the short-term benefits that people would like to see. It requires a long-term, sustained, and often inter-generational investment for us to see those returns.”   “A perpetual learning environment should be a goal of any organization that really wants to make an advance with regard to diversity, equity and inclusion.” “We need diversity in thought, and diversity in culture and background, because people bring their life experiences into that filtering process. That all matters if we are going to make good decisions, especially in healthcare, with how we take care of people.” © Copyright 2023 Movement is Life Inc.

Diversity as a goal has been considered a compelling reason (and legal precedent) for higher education institutions to apply policies which attempt to correct the effects of intentional and structural discrimination impacting gender, race, and ethnicity. Our esteemed panel of healthcare stakeholders and health equity advocates share personal experiences of how affirmative action has benefitted them, and the Hispanic and African American healthcare workforces in general. The discussion also explores affirmative action policy milestones, the positive impact these policies have had on overall workforce diversity and STEM education programs, and other knock-on effects such as increasing diverse participation in clinical trials.

Dr. Ryan Grant, CEO and founder of Vori Health, shares his experience as a repeat founder and thoughts on what limits the healthcare system when it comes to developing new and innovative models.

Dr. Mary O'Connor is the Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Vori Health, and she's working to transform delivery of musculoskeletal care using a holistic, integrated approach.   Dr. O'Connor says according to The WHO, musculoskeletal conditions are the number one global cause of disability. That also obviously has a huge impact on the workforce.    The Vori team sees a huge opportunity for their virtual clinic to help patients get the care they need, and in many cases may help avoid unnecessary surgery… she tells us between 20-40% of spine surgeries and 23% of hip/knee replacements are deemed unnecessary.    In cases where a patient does need surgery, the Vori Health team can help prepare that person for surgery, which leads to better outcomes.    During their first visit, Vori Health patients will see a health coach, a member of the physician team, and then a member of the physical therapy team.    Check out this interview with Dr. O'Connor to hear more and to learn how mental health, physical health, and behavioral habits (like sleep, nutrition and more) all play a role in musculoskeletal care.   Connect with Mary: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryoconnormd/    Learn more about Vori Health: https://www.vorihealth.com    00:00 - video begins 2;25 - Avoiding unnecessary surgery 4:49 - Transforming the care delivery model 11:04 - Caring for patients virtually in an integrated way 18:05 - Non-compliance considerations 19:11 - Musculoskeletal conditions are number one global cause of disability  21:08 - Making a positive impact 23:12 - Patients feel supported, leveraging tech to create communities

Musculoskeletal pain and injury is the top cause of global disability, affecting 54% of the U.S. population and is one of the most expensive sectors in healthcare. Care today is difficult to navigate, unnecessarily high-cost, and objectively not evidence-based. Vori Health was established to combat these inequities by delivering a truly elevated, human-centered, patient care experience through cutting-edge technology, premium content, community, and multidisciplinary care teams.

Thanks for tuning into From Nothing, where we go deep on how healthcare founders actually went 0 to 1. I'm Patrick Haig, and today my co-host, Ian Sefferman, and I are joined by Dr. Ryan Grant, co-founder and CEO of Vori Health. Ryan is on a mission to re-humanize medicine, starting with musculoskeletal issues, and has raised $50M from well-known investors like NEA, AlleyCorp, and Max Ventures to get it done. Today we talk about Ryan's path to Vori, the philosophy and the surprising stats that drive him, like how 40% of people who have surgeries for back pain simply don't get better, why he chose MSK as his wedge, how he transitioned from a practicing physician to running a startup, how he got his first customers through building champions, and more. When we hear about big visions, this is a big vision. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Ep12: Nurse Coaches, Innovative Healthcare Leaders- Nicole Piotrowski BSN, RN, HWNC-BC Highlights“I work with innovative healthcare teams, mainly in the startup world now, that are on a mission to create a new kind of healthcare delivery system focused on relationship-based care -- taking care of the whole person instead of the bottom line, that value-based care.”  ~Nicole Piotrowski, BSN, RN, HWNC-BCNurse Coaching is an innovative healthcare process that places the patient, client, family or community as the center of the conversation, plan or careStartups like Vori Health are using Nurse Coaches and see them as innovative healthcare role modelsNurse Coaching can be as close as a telephone call, or an app on your phoneIt is collaborative to work in a system where every practitioner knows the client and each healthcare professional (regardless of specialty) has the autonomy to refer clients to modalities that will help themPatients are not ‘non-compliant'.  Instead, there is a barrier that they cannot cross, and because of that, it is difficult for them to follow a plan, that ultimately was never truly created for themNurse Coaching gives the client the ownership and power of their own health decisionsIntegrative Nurse Coaches help people make small meaningful change, establish goals, and make little lifestyle behavior changes, to make a huge difference in someone's overall healthWhat would happen if Nurse Coaches were in all settings throughout America?  People would be A LOT healthier!
