Dr. David Pate is the former President and CEO of St. Luke’s Health System. He was a consistent voice for the medical community and medical response during the recent pandemic. He also recently co-authored a book titled, Preparing for the Next Global Outbreak: A guide to planning from the schoolhouse to the White House. Dr. Pate came in to discuss, among other things, culture and concerns around vaccines and the medical system. He was incredibly open about mistakes that were made in recent years but also had phenomenal insights into why certain things were done that I had no idea about. I am incredibly grateful that he was willing to come in and speak about this issue, especially knowing that no matter what is said, there will be one side that is happy and one side that is upset. His thoughts certainly helped me understand that there’s a middle ground that people can occupy. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials.
