Season 4, Episode 13In today's culture, everyone is an activist. People have zeal for numerous causes, but it's sometimes not easy to translate that zeal into real action of doing small things. Real life compassion in action is often not glamorous - it's behind the scenes, and it requires investment over the long haul. Today we are joined by two folks who know a lot about the real work of compassion. Janice has been a member of Vineyard Columbus for 25 years this Summer. She and her husband Paul will celebrate 24 years of marriage this September and live in Westerville. Janice is a licensed Doctor of Pharmacy, having graduated from the WVU School of Pharmacy 31 years ago. Since retiring from full-time work in cancer research in 2018, she maintains involvement with the WVU SOP serving as a board member on the Leadership Council. She enjoys volunteering with our VCC Health Clinic, Westerville Area Resource Ministries and also gives of her time to two local animal welfare organizations. Sammy started attending Vineyard Columbus shortly after she and her husband moved to the area in the Fall of 2021. Sammy is an EMT and has a Masters in Public Health with a concentration in international health, disaster health, and emergency preparedness. Before becoming the Health Clinics Coordinator at Vineyard Columbus, Sammy worked on a disaster assistance response team responding to needs in several countries including Mongolia, Haiti, and Ukraine. She also spent time working on a critical care ambulance in Los Angeles, California. In her free time, she enjoys gardening, biking, traveling, and cooking.Next week, Vineyard Columbus is launching into Compassion Week – a time we get to serve our communities and love our city. Last year we were able to help over 50,000 people, and this summer we're hoping to make that number even greater! Maybe you're in the Central Ohio area and you're looking for ways to demonstrate compassion in action. You can sign up for one of our upcoming opportunities to serve our city during Compassion Week, August 6 - 12. We've got everything from park clean-ups to sitting on your couch, ordering things off an Amazon wish list for a neighborhood elementary school. You can learn about these opportunities and more at www.vineyardcolumbus.org/compassion-week.Salt and Light article

Your boards scores were not great. That's it, your dream is over. You will never wear a stethoscope around your neck. Hold on… that's not necessarily the case. While our educational system and healthcare do place emphasis on standardized test scores, scores alone don't predict career success. Today Dr. Troy Krupica shares that while standardized tests didn't come easy for him, he has a successful and fulfilling medical career. In fact, that's one of the lessons he passes on to his own mentees: focus on the bigger picture of caring for patients and improving healthcare. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. When faced with challenges, hold tight to your support system and reach out to mentors to help you refocus and shift your perspective to what really matters. 2. Don't fall into believing you know better. Other people have been on this path and gotten to the other side. That's why we need mentors: for their experience and advice. 3. Don't lose focus on the bigger picture; focus on care and commitment to patients. Individual accomplishments mean little compared to the bigger goal of making all healthcare better.

Host Dale Cooper welcomes Dr. Mary Ann Maurer, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine at WVU School of Medicine Charleston Campus. Dr. Maurer will be discussing the importance of colorectal cancer screening. Many colorectal cancers can be prevented through regular screening. Screening can find precancerous polyps— abnormal growths in the colon or rectum—so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening is crucial because when found early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable. Practicing at: CAMC Family Medicine Center 5th Floor of the CAMC Academic Medicine Center 3200 MacCorkle Avenue Charleston, WV 25304 304-388-4600 www.wvupc.org
