Start your Friday morning with proactive healthcare insight, community impact, and a creative new local initiative.
At 9:20 AM, Dr. Chris Green joins us from Associated Physicians Group to break down what Chronic Care Management really means for patients day to day. We’ll discuss why managing conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney issues requires more than an annual visit, and how home health monitoring allows physicians to track trends rather than snapshots. Dr. Green will explain how early detection prevents complications, how Medicare and most insurance plans typically cover monitoring services, and why proactive care leads to fewer hospitalizations and better long-term outcomes. We’ll also touch on enhanced wellness options for patients who want a more hands-on, concierge-style approach to staying ahead of chronic conditions.
At 10:10 AM, Mandie Clark joins us from True North Aesthetics Co. to recap her recent successful event and fundraiser. We’ll talk about community turnout, the impact the fundraiser made, and how businesses can create experiences that blend wellness, connection, and giving back. It’s a conversation about entrepreneurship, momentum, and building something meaningful in the Riverbend.
At 10:35 AM, Suzanne Palmieri joins us to introduce The Art for Breakfast Club, a new creative initiative bringing people together around art, conversation, and inspiration. We’ll explore what the club is all about, who it’s designed for, and how it creates space for creativity and connection in a fresh, welcoming way.
A Friday built around proactive health, community leadership, and creative energy across the Riverbend.
