Episode description
So much goes into providing quality health care - and a quality health care experience. Passion, communication and holistic integration are just three of the many qualities that go a long way toward keeping Nemours patients - and their families - healthy and happy. Our guests today each exemplify these qualities.
SEGMENT 1: Pediatrician Dr. Jonathan Miller manages the primary care practice at the AI Dupont Hospital for Children in Wilmington. He does so with a passion for his patients in mind - and carries in his heart one patient in particular as he performs his daily clinical work, and as the Medical Director for Medical Director for Value Based Care at Nemours.
SEGMENT 2: We’ve heard it time and again - communication is key to success. It’s a philosophy that Dr. Gary Josephson, Chief Medical Officer for the Nemours Florida Division believes whole heartedly - with a recognition that listening is an indispensable piece of the communication puzzle.
SEGMENT 3: According to the National Association on Mental Illness - NAMI - stigma is when someone views a person in a negative way just because they have a mental health condition. In the last decade or so, there has been a concerted effort across the country to reduce that stigma and to strive for more integration between the provision of mental health services alongside those for physical health. For psychologist Dr. Shana Boyle sees that as a win-win for the patients she works with in Jacksonville.
