S2 Ep4: Cash, Coupons, or Insurance? Choose the Cheapest Option | An Episode from
What does it take to spot a problem hiding in plain sight, and actually do something about it? In this episode, Alana shares a reposted episode from Speak Up For Your Health, hosted by Dr. Archelle Georgio, featuring Miriam Paramore, CEO and founder of RX Utility. Miriam is a serial healthcare IT entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience, and her story is proof that you don't have to be a doctor to make a powerful difference in healthcare. Driven by her own frustrating experiences as a patient, Miriam turned decades of healthcare knowledge into a company that is directly improving access to affordable medication for everyday people. Her passion, clarity, and determination to solve a problem that affects millions is inspiring. Her story is a reminder that real change often starts with one person refusing to accept the status quo. My Key Takeaways You don't have to be a clinician to change healthcare. Miriam's background is in data and technology, not medicine. She's using that expertise to make a tangible difference in people's lives and wallets. The best innovations solve problems that already exist. RxUtility isn't inventing something new. It's making existing savings accessible to the people who need them most. Impact doesn't always require reinvention. Personal experience can be the most powerful motivator. Miriam's frustration as a patient is what sparked everything. Sometimes the people closest to a problem are best placed to fix it.

S2 Ep3: Access, Equity, and the Future of Health with Jane Sarason Kahan
How can a career built on curiosity reshape the way we think about health, access, and innovation? In this episode, Jane Sarason Kahan joins From Girl to Great to explore what it really means to drive change in healthcare and why the most powerful innovations aren't always the flashiest ones. Drawing on a career shaped by curiosity and a commitment to equity, Jane challenges us to look beyond cutting-edge treatments and ask who actually has access to care in the first place. From the social determinants of health to the exciting potential of food as medicine and the home as a health hub, Jane brings us back to the fundamentals and makes a compelling case for why prevention, not crisis response, is where real transformation begins. My Key Takeaways Follow the questions you can't stop asking. Jane's career is proof that curiosity, reading widely, and stepping outside your comfort zone can turn into genuine influence and impact. Innovation means little without access. The US may lead in developing new treatments, but many people still struggle to access basics like primary care and preventative support and that gap matters. Technology is a tool, not the goal. Jane isn't anti-AI, but she's clear-eyed about its role. What truly excites her is a system built around the home as a health hub, food as medicine, and paying for prevention before a crisis hits.

S2 Ep2: Medicine Beyond the Clinic: Using Healthcare to Serve Communities
How can medicine and community outreach work together to create lasting social impact? In this episode of From Girl to Great, our ambassador Sofi Smith is our guest host. She speaks with Dr. Raquel Miranda Padilla, a medical doctor and community outreach leader in Costa Rica. Dr. Padilla shares how her medical training led her beyond the clinic into community, humanitarian, and global outreach work, highlighting the power of compassion and purpose in healthcare. Alana's Key Takeaways Purpose doesn’t require a straight path. Impact comes from staying true to your values, even when life takes unexpected turns. Healthcare goes beyond hospitals. Medical knowledge can be a powerful tool in community and humanitarian settings. Humanity matters most. True fulfillment in healthcare comes from compassion and service, not status or money.
