    Ep. 70: Hidden Helpers – Hidden No More with Dr. Larry Moss and Steve Schwab

    Ep. 70: Hidden Helpers – Hidden No More with Dr. Larry Moss and Steve Schwab

    When it comes to supporting our nation's military caregivers – the family members and friends caring for a wounded, ill, or injured veteran each day in their homes – the Elizabeth Dole Foundation is a true leader. The foundation aims to raise awareness, conduct research, and support military family caregivers. Among that group, you will find children, teens, and young adults impacted by or directly involved in the mental, emotional, or physical care of a wounded, ill, or aging service member or veteran. They are known as Hidden Helpers. 
    In the first of two episodes, Steve Schwab, CEO, Elizabeth Dole Foundation, and Larry Moss, MD, President and CEO, Nemours Children's Health, discuss Hidden Helpers: who they are, who they help, and the commitment to educating physicians across the nation about these hidden heroes’ unique medical and psychological needs.

    Ep. 69: A Conversation with Matthew Cook from the Children's Hospital Association

    Ep. 69: A Conversation with Matthew Cook from the Children's Hospital Association

    When it comes to healthcare, children are not miniature adults. As growing, maturing human beings, they require regular well-child attention, care, and treatment that considers their size and their ongoing and seemingly ever-changing developmental needs as they make the trek into adulthood. Children's hospitals, in particular, play a unique role in ensuring and elevating the health of our nation's kids by providing opportunities for quality care and treatment and by addressing the non-medical factors that affect child health outcomes - the social determinants of health.

    As CEO of the Children's Hospital Association (CHA), Matthew Cook joins us to explain how CHA advocates for the advancement of child health in the areas of federal and state policy, research, quality care delivery, and workforce development.

    Ep. 66: The PLAYERS Championship – Golf for Good

    Ep. 66: The PLAYERS Championship – Golf for Good

    This year – 2024 – marked the 50th anniversary of THE PLAYERS Championship, a premier tour stop for PGA golfers from around the world! Held at the TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida (just south of Jacksonville where Nemours Children's Health is headquartered), THE PLAYERS Championships attracts the best that professional golf has to offer for golfers, fans, and the community alike. 
    The tournament, however, is more than just a one-week PGA stop. It’s a 52-week-a-year endeavor. Community investment, service and partnership are keys to the effort, which focuses on promoting youth services, education, character development, military support, and health and wellness. 

    Joining us to discuss how THE PLAYERS Championship is a crucial player in improving health and wellness for the children of Northeast Florida and beyond are Nemours Children’s Health President and CEO Dr. Larry Moss, and Lee Smith, Vice President and Executive Director of THE PLAYERS Championship.

    Guests:
    R. Lawrence "Larry" Moss, MD, FACS, FAAP, President and CEO, Nemours Children's Health
    Lee Smith, Vice President & Executive Director, THE PLAYERS Championship

    Ep. 65: Exploring Health Equity with Dr. Tony Iton

    Achieving health equity is a complex and ongoing endeavor that involves addressing various social, economic, and systemic factors that contribute to disparities in health outcomes among different populations. 

    If it sounds like challenging work, it is. But that hasn't stopped The California Endowment's Dr. Tony Iton from making it his life's work. We sat down with Dr. Iton to discuss his insights on the root causes of health disparities, the status of health equity efforts today in the U.S., and the $1 billion effort he leads with health equity in mind.
