With Chief Executive Officer, Tori Bayless, at the helm, Luminis Health’s leadership has had health equity and diversity and inclusion at the forefront of their strategic priorities for some time. Their journey has yielded incredible progress both inside the organization and through their commitment to improving disparities across the communities they serve.
In this podcast, A&M’s Senior Advisor, David Shulkin, M.D., and Managing Director, Keith Ghezzi, M.D., FACEP, talk with Ms. Bayless as she shares the path she has led Luminis Health down to address these critical issues. She describes how close partnerships with community groups and internal colleagues, use of metrics to measure progress, as well as a concerted effort to hold themselves accountable and provide transparency have aided to the tremendous strides they have taken to aim to solve for inequities in care and foster inclusive diversity across the organization.

Luminis Health Expands Partnerships in an Effort to Improve Health Equity and Decrease Disparities

In the latest episode of A&M’s What’s Your Moonshot? A Podcast Series, Marc Harrison, M.D., President and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, reveals his multiple moonshot quest, as he continues his journey to make big, meaningful strides of improvement in Healthcare. A&M Healthcare Industry Group’s co-Head, Managing Director, Martin McGahan and Ninth Secretary of U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and A&M Healthcare Industry Group Senior Advisor, David Shulkin, M.D., talk with Dr. Harrison to learn more about his ambitious leadership and tremendous improvement he has afforded his community.Dr. Harrison shares Intermountain Healthcare’s passion for making healthcare affordable for all and the many ways they have worked toward making this possible.

With a patient network spanning more than 45,000 square feet, Susan Turney, M.D., MS, FACP, FACPME, Chief Executive Officer of Marshfield Clinic Health System, faces daily challenges in providing rural healthcare. COVID-19 further exacerbated existing issues but that did not deter her from continuing to put patient needs and care at the forefront. Through her ambitious moonshot of enriching the lives of those in her communities, Dr. Turney has implemented new care models in an effort to extend care beyond her hospitals’ physical walls.
Join A&M’s David Shulkin, M.D., Senior Advisor, and John McLean, Managing Director, as they sit down with Dr. Turney to hear how she has leveraged her systems’ capabilities and data to most efficiently and effectively meet the needs of her patients. This discussion brings to light how Dr. Turney has truly impacted the lives of her patients and continues to be a leader in continuing to further the quality of rural healthcare.

ウオクイフクロウはウガンダのどこで見られるの?



この鳥は中西部のブドンゴ森林保護区やマーチソンフォールズ国立公園の川沿いに棲んでいます。夜行性なので出会うのはちょっと難しいかもしれません。

ところで、
 この地域は、森林の違法伐採が特に問題となっている地域で、残念ながらこの鳥の住処となる森がどんどん減っています。
直接支援をすることは難しくても私たちにもできることがあります。
例えば、森から生産された製品を買う際に、望ましい管理方法で育まれた森からの製品だということを認証されたものを購入することで、世界の森の保全の応援ができます。

30. ウオクイフクロウ
(Scotopelia peli)

こんにちは　NFA バードポッドキャスト、アフリカ、ウガンダから田中加奈子がお伝えします。
今日ご紹介するウガンダの鳥は、ウオクイフクロウです。

ウオクイフクロウはフクロウ科の鳥で、アフリカ大陸の真ん中部分と、もう少し南のザンビア、マラウイ付近にも分布しています。ウガンダでは西側に生息しています。

くちばしから尾の先までが６０cm前後と、かなり大きめです。
羽を広げると１５３cmもありますが、体重は２キロ前後なんですね。
黄土色の下地に焦げ茶色の横縞のボディーで、黒目がまんまるなので、かわいく感じます。

ウオクイという名のとおり、魚をとって食べるふくろうなので、川の近くを住処にしているんです。魚が捕まえやすい川の流れが遅めのところで、大きな体を支えるのに十分な大きさの木が生えているところに住んでいます。
このフクロウは魚好きなので、体も漁師仕様になっているんです。
というのも、足は川に入って濡れてもいいように、羽毛がほかのフクロウより少なめです。
そしてツルツルすべる魚を掴みやすいように、足の裏にスパイクのような突起があるんです。

さらに、一般にフクロウというと静かな夜に活動するため、羽がふわふわで先端がギザギザの防音装置のようになっているんですが、ウオクイフクロウは、川沿いで行動するので、水が流れる音で羽の音がごまかせますから、そこまで羽がフワフワでもギザギザでもないんですね。
耳もほかのフクロウより、敏感ではないようです。

さあ、おまたせしました、ここで鳴き声を聞いてみましょう！

ウオクイフクロウの鳴き声は、バリエーションがあって、まず、低く響く、楽器みたいな音が聞こえます。
続いて高いトーンの遠吠えのようなのが聞こえます。

いかがですか、最初のなき声はホルンの音色みたいですが、私には不思議とかんぺいちゃんの気の抜けたアヘにも聞こえるんですよね、後半の高いトーンはフクロウとは思えない声で、夜の森で聞くとなんか別の怖い生き物なんじゃないかと勘違いしそうです。

このウオクイフクロウ、最初にお話ししたように、大木が生える川沿いでしか生きられなくて、森林違法伐採の影響ですみかを失ってしまい、数が減っているんです。
いつまでもこのおもしろい鳴き声が森で聞けるといいんですが、、
これを聞いて、何かできないかなと思われた方は、番組のHPで支援について書きましたのでそちらをご覧下さい。

以上、今回はウオクイフクロウをご紹介しました。

30. Pel's Fishing-owl

(Scotopelia peli)


NFA bird Podcast: I am Johnnie Kamugisha. The bird for today is a Pel's Fishing-Owl
A Pel's Fishing-Owl is a huge owl that is unlikely to be confused with any other bird, in the Strigidae family.
It is one of the largest owl species in the world with a length of about 60cm, a wing span of 153cm and about 2-2.35 kg.
It is a bright orange-rufous heavily barred dusky above, and a little paler below with variable dark spots and bars.
Sexes look similar only the male is more rufous than the female, but there is considerable individual variation.
It feeds nocturnally on fish and fronts snatched from the surface of lakes and rivers.
They prefer slow moving rivers with large overhanging trees to roost and forage from like at the bottom of the Murchison falls.
Unlike most owls, they have minimal feathers on the toes and the tarsus, thus minimising the amount plumage that gets wet while fishing.
Pel's Fishing-Owl nests in hollows, rocks, and the forks of large trees.
Two eggs are laid but only one chick is raised.
Like diurnal raptors that specialise in fish, they have spiky scales on the bottom of their feet that help them grip slippery fish.
Since hearing and auditory stealth is not important to its hunting techniques, this owl does not have strong hearing and does not have the soft edges to its flight feathers that most owls share, which makes them almost impossible to hear in flight.
They have a white throat that is usually obscured but puffed up in displaying birds during courtship.
The Pel's Fishing-Owl has distinctly dark eyes, often black in colour.
The song of the male Pel's Fishing-Owl is a deep, sonorous, horn-like boom.
The female's songs are similar but are higher pitched and even in a double-note.
They are monogamous and territorial, claiming a stretch of river or lakeshore for themselves.
The eggs are laid when water's are starting to fall, so that brood feeding coincides with low water and concentrated prey.
The female does the incubation for about a month, while the male feeds her.
At the first sight of danger, both parents engage in distraction displays to protect their offspring.
These could be behaving as if injured, to draw the attention of the potential predator.

29.ヨウム
Grey Parrot
(Psittacus erithacus)


こんにちは　NFA バードポッドキャスト、アフリカ、ウガンダから田中加奈子がお伝えします。
今日ご紹介するウガンダの鳥は、ヨウムです。

ヨウムはオウム科の鳥で、アフリカ大陸の中央部分東西に分布していて、ウガンダは分布の東の端にあたります。

くちばしから尾の先までが３０で英語のgrey parrotの名の通り、全体的にグレーなんですが、尾の部分がとても鮮やかに赤いんです。この鳥、わたしの家の近くにも遊びに来るのでよく見かけるんですけど、初めて見た時、その赤い部分がふんどしに見えてしまって、それ以来「赤ふんくん」と勝手に呼んでいます。

この鳥、惜しいのは悪人顔なんですよね、黒目が小さいからかもしれません。
ただ、この目つきの悪さからは想像できないような鳴き声を聞かせてくれます、ちょっと聞いてやってください！！

いかがでしょう。朝起きた時にたまにこの鳴き声を聞かせてくれるんですよ。
つい探してしまうんです。でも姿見ると悪人顔で赤フンなんですけどね。

さて、オウムというと人間が話したことを繰り返す、いわゆるオウム返しで知られていますが、今日はそんなレベルを超えたオウム界の天才と呼ばれた並外れた知能を持つヨウムのアレックスの話をします。
アレックスは心理学者のペッパーバーグ博士という人に飼われて訓練されたヨウムで、約１５０の語彙を習得していて、自分で文章を作り、話す内容にもきちんと意味があったそうなんです。
例えば、色も形も材料も異なるものを見せて、どれが灰色？と聞くと、「クギ」のように、４８回の実験で81%の正解率だったそうなんですよ。
面白いのは、こうした実験をやっていて、疲れて嫌気がさすと「もうやめるよ」と言って来たらしんですが、それに対して、実験してた人が困った顔をすると「ごめんなさい」とあやまってきたそうです。
他にも、アレックスがバナナが欲しくなって「バナナ　欲しい」と言った時に、実験者が試しに別のものをあげたら、実験者を見つめてもう一度「バナナ　欲しい」と言って来たり、その別のものを一旦くわえたあと、投げつけてくるなんてきともあったそうです。

なんか、こう一回口喧嘩でもしてみたくなってしまいますね。

最後に真面目な話なんですが、ヨウムはウガンダで残念なことにペットとして転売目的の密猟が絶えないんです、また、森林伐採で住処を追いやられてしまって、本当は森の住人なんですあ、都会で暮らしているものも増えてきました。

この鳴き声がこれからもずっと聞けるように、みんなで守って行きたいですね。

以上、今回はヨウムをご紹介しました。

(Psittacus erithacus)

NFA bird Podcast: I am Johnnie Kamugisha.
The bird for today is the African Grey Parrot.
This is one of the most intelligent birds in the world. 
They imitate several other species as well as man. 
Every morning, they come to say hello to me at my house, as they fly away to go to field. 
It is 30cm long that is from the tip of the bill to the tail end.
It is one of the birds that live long. 
It can live for up to 50 - 100 years in the wild and in captivity respectively, meaning it will live 50 years in captivity, and if it is left in the wild it will live up to 100 years.
Their diet includes seed, fruits, palm nuts, but they may feed on leaves as well.
They like their food meaning they like eating. 
Because of the destruction of their habitat, they are now found even in urban areas.

28.メガネヒタキ
Brown-throated Wattle-eye
(Platysteira cyanea)

こんにちは　NFA バードポッドキャスト、アフリカ、ウガンダから田中加奈子がお伝えします。
今日ご紹介するウガンダの鳥は、メガネヒタキです。

メガネヒタキはオオハシモズ科の鳥で分布域はアフリカ大陸サハラ砂漠の南を横に長く分布しています。
くちばしから尾の先までが１３cmと小さめの鳥であたまから尾に欠けて黒く、お腹は真っ白です。
英語でBrown throated Wattle Eyeというのですが、これはメスの喉から胸にかけてが茶色いことに由来しています。
ちなみにオスは白いんです。

wattle eyeというのが面白くて、wattleは肉の垂れ下がったという意味があるんですが、この鳥は目の上が赤くはれぼったくなっているんです。
メガネヒタキというよりは、「ものもらいヒタキ」と言った方が、覚えやすいのかなと思われます。

おまたせしました、それでは鳴き声をきいていただきましょう。
この番組の英語版で話しているジョニーにいわせると、「Please Come for Breakfast」と言っているように聞こえるとのことなんですが、いかがでしょうか。

この鳴き声、オスとメスのデュエットだったんですがお気づきになりましたか？
オスが前半鳴いて、後半メスがかえしています。
なわばりを維持したり、つがいの絆を強めるためにデュエットするんですが、お聞きのように不自然な間がなく、息ぴったりでさえずるので、とても二羽で歌っているとはおもえないんですね。

鳥は人間よりも聴覚の反応がすぐれています。
合図として先行する鳴きに、ビックリする様な早さで反応することができるんです。

すごいことですが、ぼけっとしていられないってことですよね。
自分が鳥だったらパートナーにずっと試されている気がして、「休みくれ」ってストライキ起こしそうです。
