health disparity

In this episode, we dive into the effect of health disparities in the management of pain and treatment of substance use disorders.

Dr. Don Stader, MD, and Dr. Rachael Duncan, PharmD, sit down to introduce the basic concept of health equity, social determinants of health, and how they can contribute to health disparities.

In this episode, Dr. Jasmine Gonzalvo talks with Dr. Aaron Carroll about her team’s efforts to address health disparities through Purdue University’s Center for Health Equity and Innovation (CHEqI). They discuss ways CHEqI’s work has expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic and how they’re training the next generation of pharmacists to support underrepresented communities.

This Healthcare Triage podcast episode is co-sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine, whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research, and patient care, and the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute, a three way partnership among Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame, striving to make Indiana a healthier state by empowering research through pilot funding, research education and training.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common blood disorder worldwide. About 7 million people have been diagnosed with SCD, and about 100 million people have sickle cell trait. Around 300,000 babies are born with SCD each year. For a rare disease, SCD is quite common, yet patients with SCD are still facing discrimination from funders, researchers, and medical professionals. Still, today, medical professionals are not thoroughly educated on how painful living with SCD can be. In this episode, Joel Helle, vice president of physician services at CVS Health, explains how medical professionals are still behind on SCD awareness. Ahmar Zaidi, SCD advocate and medical director at Agios Pharmaceuticals, talks about his experience as a medical professional working with SCD patients. Our previous guests, Dr. Lewis Hsu, Justina Williams, Dr. Carolyn Rowley, and Andre Harris, talk about the discrimination SCD patients face and how we can help end it.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is often called an invisible illness; people can't see the excruciating pain. When living with SCD, advocacy becomes crucial as patients inform teachers, employers, medical doctors, and friends of their condition. A pain crisis can put an SCD patient out of work or school or land them in the hospital where medical professionals are unaware of the severity of their pain. Moving through the world with an invisible illness is a trying task for an already exhausted patient. This is why having a solid support system, either with family or through an organization, is crucial. In this episode, we meet Justina Williams, Patient Engagement Coordinator with Piedmont Health Services and Sickle Cell Agency. She shares her story about how living with SCD has led her to her current role. We also meet Dr. Carolyn Rowley, executive director and founder of Cayenne Wellness Center and Children's Foundation. Cayenne Wellness is a non-profit organization that allocates resources to SCD patients in California. Patients can receive housing and transportation and even have an advocate for them when going to emergency rooms. Dr. Rowley tells the story of her early life with SCD in the 60's and what led her to found the non-profit.  For more information about this series, visit http://thesicklepodcast.com.

Andre Harris is a 32-year-old Ph.D. student residing in Houston, Texas. He’s currently working on a doctorate in social work. Andre is the first graduate student in his family to make this academic achievement, but his road to higher education was not a smooth one. Andre has lived with chronic pain since he was a child. From strokes to pain crises, he has lived with a disease that can interrupt the flow of life. These symptoms are due to sickle cell disease (SCD), a group of genetic blood conditions that affect about 100,000 people in the U.S. In this episode, Andre talks about his earliest memories of living with SCD and the needs of the most vulnerable SCD patients. Dr. Lewis Hsu, a pediatric hematologist at the University Of Illinois Chicago and Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, explains what SCD is and how it works. For more information about this series, please visit http://thesicklepodcast.com.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) can affect many areas, including daily life, and some of the effects can be lifelong. More so, SCD impacts many patients' quality of life in depression, anxiety, executive function, and more.

With thanks in part to Bluebird Bio for making this series possible, and in partnership with The Sickle Cell Disease Association of America, OffScrip Health presents "The Sickle," a three-part limited series for patients, caregivers, and community members facing the disease.

Throughout each episode, you will hear from the people living with SCD and experts who work every day to improve their lives. We'll learn about the lifelong care, interpersonal relationships, and medical disparities that people with SCD live with and what we can do to improve them.

Cancer screening has saved countless lives through the early detection of breast, cervical, colorectal, and lung cancer. But there are still so many forms of cancer that slip through the cracks. Now, developments in medical research — such as multi-cancer screening blood tests and genomic tests — are promising to revolutionize cancer diagnostics.

In this episode, we talk to experts about the medical tech that is reshaping the field of early detection. Dr. Joseph Mikhael, Professor in the Applied Cancer Research and Drug Discovery Division at the Translational Genomics Research Institute, talks about the importance of multi-cancer early detection tests and genomics in detecting cancers that we don't currently screen for. Dr. Brian Druker, Director of the Knight Cancer Institute at Oregon Health & Science University, talks about his role in spearheading the field of precision-based early cancer detection. And Jody Hoyos, President and Chief Operating Officer of Prevent Cancer Foundation, advocates for the passage of the Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act to ensure equitable access to life-saving biotech.

The rate of survivorship has dramatically increased since the 1980s as cancer screening improved and outreach efforts expanded access to testing. But in 2020 cancer diagnoses plummeted because of Covid-19. Lockdowns and medical anxiety forced patients to skip primary care appointments and an estimated 10 million screenings in the U.S. alone. Doctors fear that disruptions in doctor-patient relationships will continue to delay critical care for those who are unknowingly living with cancer, turning one health crisis into another. It's what experts are terming a syndemic — a synergistic pandemic.

In this episode, we examine the personal stories and statistics behind this cancer-covid syndemic. Healthcare administrator Mary Garr talks about the emotional toll of delayed cancer diagnoses and treatment. And Dr. Philip Castle, Director of the National Cancer Institute’s Division of Cancer Prevention, talks about the devastating impact Covid19 is having on cancer survival rates.

Mammograms, colonoscopies, and Pap Smears are some of the tests that detect cancer at an early stage when it’s most treatable. But then Covid-19 hit and disrupted healthcare and screening as we know it. The CDC now estimates that there will be tens of thousands of additional cancer deaths in the United States because of delayed screenings during the pandemic. THE BIG SCREEN is a documentary podcast about the past, present, and future of cancer detection, its role in improving health outcomes, and what happens without it.

In this episode, we put early detection under the microscope and uncover the fascinating history behind the technology that made cancer survivorship possible. Dr. Kirsten Gardner, Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas, San Antonio, recounts how women's groups kickstarted cancer awareness campaigns and started a movement that demanded better outcomes through early detection and treatment. And Dr. Lisa Richardson, Director of CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control, talks about the importance of routine and accessible cancer screening for all.
