The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that death from drug overdoses reached just under 108,000 between 2020 and 2021. That is enough to fill over four professional baseball stadiums.  This staggering number of overdose deaths is due to many factors, including the sale of counterfeit medications and illegal drugs that often contain deadly doses of illicitly manufactured fentanyl and other

Wraparound Programs – An Alternative Approach to Address the Children’s Mental Health Crisis

The mental health crisis impacting America’s children requires states, parents, guardians, and behavioral health professionals to rethink how we provide treatment. For many young people, high-fidelity wraparound programs are the answer. Even before the pandemic, mental health issues were a leading cause of disability for children.

Michael Sheeley, Co-founder & CEO of Nurse-1-1

I met Mark Cuban once. Our conversation didn’t last very long. It was at a medical conference a few years ago. Cuban felt like a great guy to approach with an idea for a healthcare startup. We were both investors in an automation software startup called Zoba, and I of course knew him from his role on the popular entrepreneurial reality TV series Shark Tank. A few seconds into our conversation, Cuban paused. “Healthcare is hard,” he sighed. That was his way of politely telling me: for that

How Continuous Glucose Monitoring Can Alleviate Language Barriers in Diabetes Care

As an endocrinologist with 19 years of experience in treating patients with diabetes, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that communication is key.

Why Preventive Healthcare Hinges on Diagnostics Innovation

There is a real sense that we are on the cusp of a diagnostics revolution.
