"What's Health Got to Do with It?" is a talk program from WJCT in Jacksonville that examines the intersection of health care and daily life.
Dr. Ali Kasraeian, president of the Duval County Medical Society, joins program host Dr. Joe Sirven to discuss critical health care issues in Northeast Florida.
He shares his insights about combating chronic conditions such as diabetes, improving health care access for underserved communities and promoting health literacy.
Then, we discuss how an insurance company's controversial policy change blocked access to care for patients managing serious respiratory conditions.
Lawren Geer, interim executive director of the Infusion Providers Alliance, explains the implications of the policy shift and how her organization is advocating for patients who require clinic-administered asthma injections.
And, from short appointment times to contaminated eggs, we revisit a few of our most informative listener questions with Chad Neilsen, director of infection prevention and control at Nemours Children's Health, and Dr. Dacre Knight, director of the Ehlers-Danlos Clinic at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville.
