In this episode of Just DeW It, we are delighted to welcome Julie Booher on board, the leading force behind Pepper Pointe Partnerships. Julie, who holds the integral role of Chief Strategy Officer, has effectively ingrained the concept of alignment into the core of their company. Her distinctive approach towards building a flourishing workplace culture has contributed to the stability and exceptional growth of Pepper Pointe, and she's here to share it with us! Not only has Julie underscored the importance of creating a place where employees feel valued and empowered, but her efforts have also kept turnover at bay, setting a shining example in the industry.

As we delve deeper into the conversation, several key factors emerge providing the foundations for improved business performance and harmony within the workplace. In an intrinsically candid discussion, Julie discloses the secret sauce of maintaining alignment for Pepper Pointe - regular meetings, clear communication channels, but most importantly, empowering the workforce. We also explore Pepper Pointe’s unique structure — a model that allows doctors to own the DSO (Dental Support Organization), thereby fostering more autonomy and a genuine pursuit of shared company objectives. This model has indeed proven transformative, catapulting Pepper Pointe from supporting 20 practice locations in 2018 to an astounding 135 in the present year.

Today on the Just DeW It podcast, Anne Duffy is joined by an incredible guest with a unique perspective, Kandice Swarthout. Kandice is not your typical dental hygienist; she's a force to be reckoned with. With over two decades of experience in the field, she continues to practice part-time while also serving as a full-time professor of dental hygiene in Dallas. Her passion for education and empowering the next generation of hygienists is truly inspiring. Kandice is no stranger to advocacy either; she's actively involved in the Governmental Affairs Counsel and has even addressed the Senate and House Health Committees in Texas on crucial issues like local anesthesia for hygienists. But there's more to Kandice than her dental expertise. She's a Licensed Professional Counselor with a profound commitment to crisis intervention and trauma counseling. Notably, she's dedicated two years of her career to working one-on-one with incarcerated individuals, a testament to her unwavering compassion.

In this episode, Kandice sheds light on a critical issue within healthcare that often goes unnoticed: human trafficking. We delve into some eye-opening statistics, such as the fact that 80% of trafficked individuals are taken to a healthcare location during their ordeal. Kandice also dispels some common misconceptions, revealing that most victims are trafficked by people they know well, not strangers. Listen in as she shares invaluable insights on how healthcare professionals, including dental practitioners, can identify red flags and take action when they suspect someone is being trafficked, all while ensuring the safety and well-being of the victims. Remember, the right words and actions can make all the difference in these sensitive situations.

Tune in to this episode to become better informed and equipped to combat human trafficking in healthcare!
