They discuss the following questions: What are the social determinants of health? We have to help the patient in front of us...but how does that translate to helping solve he "upstream" issues? Gun control has been a political hot topic with the recent spate of shootings. How does gun violence impact the PT profession?

Welcome to week 7 of #STANDSaturday covering another corner of the clinic, this time among the interdisciplinary team - General Medicine. Born and raised in Georgia, Claire Steagall, RN shares her first time experience with STAND with 13 years working in the ED, PCU, Post-Op, and Med-Surg floors of many hospitals to back her up. She claims being a traveling nurse is a wonderful experience, "organizations like STAND make nursing so fulfilling and my dream is to devote more of my off time to medical missions". She answers your questions about what us (crazy) PTs look like from the outside (she has been married to one for 30 years!) and what challenges she faced. The word "collaboration" has been brought up in  every service interview we have done, so why not scope across disciplines since we should be openly working together already? Tune in, Claire's accent and stories will keep you entertained. *Side Note: the ministry associated with the orphanage from the interview is called Good Shepherd Ministries*.

Have you ever looked at the statistics? According to 2003 National Assessment of Adult Health Literacy, only 12% of the population has proficient health literacy. Health literacy is defined as "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions." In this episode, we chat with Margaret Danilovich, PT, PhD, GCS, and author of the op-ed in the Huffington Post “Trump’s HIV/HPV Blunder Reveals a Fundamental Healthcare Problem”. The article was also picked up by CNN (you can find it here). How do you know if your patient has low health literacy? What do you do? How does it affect your treatment?

Welcome to week 6 of #STANDSaturday covering another corner of the clinic - Pelvic Health. Sarah Ecker, PT, DPT, PRPC, traveling PT and '11 graduate from New York University worked in the science, medicine and technology department of a publishing company in NYC when she fell in love with pelvic health. She received her Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certificate (PRPC) from the Herman and Wallace Institute. In 2016, Sarah discovered STAND, eagerly volunteered for a 2-week trip, and instantly fell in love with the project, the people of Haiti, and the amazing co-founders of the organization. Immediately recognizable to Sarah on her premier trip was the lack of care surrounding the various changes across the lifespan of women, namely encompassing obstetrics and gynecological care. Join Sarah as she discusses her journey educating families and working with cultural variations (yes, this includes Voodoo!). Trust me, she will convince you to be a STAND-Lifer.
