My name is Cary Hall and I have a strong desire to seperate Fact from Fiction and empower my fellow Americans to cancel out (not add to) the noise and confusion in the US healthcare system by bringing you curated information, a powerful group of healthcare providers, experts, practitioners, authors, and inventors, plus related business and industry leaders for every episode of my show. My goal is to enable you to become an expert in your own healthcare management. It will save your time, save your money, and considerably reduce the effort needed to accomplish it.
Most people, when faced with a medical or healthcare decision, are often in for a complex and uphill battle finding and accessing the options available to them or even sorting through the available options to find the best one for them. I will continue to be a reliable and trusted source for expert-level information and advice about the nuances of healthcare and health insurance and a guide and advocate for every American when making important decisions about their personal healthcare and also when they are a caregiver and helping their spouse, parent, child, sibling or friend.
We're going to talk to you, the broker, you the employer, and you, the human resource director, about solutions that are outside the box, including how to properly, ethically and legally use AI resources.
The other thing we're going to talk about is how if you're a broker, especially if you're a medium and small size broker. Do I use AI. Stephen Combs and Marc Wiersmer join us from BrokersBloc.
This is season 22 episode 22 of America's Heathcare Advocate. I'm Cary Hall.

Community Involvement RE: Food Insecurity, Health and Mental Health -Blue KC's Strategic Initiatives
Macaela and Rebecca bring us their strategy and share with me their community initiatives in Kansas City:
For example, Macaela tells how working with over 200 nonprofits in Kansas City and passionately supports them including some of our veterans annually with a group from Blue KC to help out with the tiny houses over at Veterans Community Project. We also supply funds to them to make sure that they can continue to thrive. Then there's Cornerstones of Care and its vocational program, Build Trybe, Kansas City Community Gardens and the Giving Grove to work with students at DeLaSalle Education Center in transforming an empty field next to the school into a new Learning Farm that will positively impact hundreds of young adults in surrounding neighborhoods.
Rebecca reminds me when you look at Kansas City, about 1 in 7 adults don't know where their next meal is coming from, and we know one of the greatest inputs to chronic disease and the things that drive up health care costs are the foods. So if you're eating fast food and you're not eating healthy, you're likely to develop hypertension. You're likely to develop diabetes. It's all connected. You can't you can't unconnect it. and it's impacting every part of these people's lives.
For me, I find what there two are doing is impactful and it’s making a difference. In this show I hope to educated you and inform you about what this company, Blue KC does be part of Kansas City.

Rural Hospital NOT Closing. Hear about this Rural Hospital Comeback!
See how rural Washington County hospital in Sandersville, Georgia comes back from the brink of closing and hear their recovery story after partnering with Aletheia Health Partners.
Our guests tell it firsthand: Pam Stewart is the CEO at Washington County Regional Medical Center, and Abby Summers from Aletheia Health Partners is my returning guest.
This is a 56-bed PPS Hospital and 60 bed nursing home serving patients since 1961 located in a "landlocked" county, meaning it is surrounded by counties with no hospital. You’ve heard the term “urban food desert” which are city neighborhoods where residents lack easy access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food? Well, this is the same thing for rural families and small cities across the USA.
This is a fantastic hospital turnaround story!
This is season 22 episode 30 of America’s Healthcare Advocate. I’m Cary Hall
