Today we have Sandy Potter, Sr. Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Texas Health Behavioral Health in to talk with us about what we could do if someone we know or love may have a potential eating disorder. Singer Karen Carpenter struggled with this for most of her career, and it eventually took her life way too soon. She would have been 70 this week. Also, Sandy has some excellent comments on implementing mindfulness at work - something that is starting to have quite an impact in many workplaces.

Stephanie Campbell - Burn Program Manager at the Parkland Regional Burn Center - joins us in Segment 2 to talk about preventing burn injuries. The main cause of burns happens in the home, and Stephanie comes loaded with great tips and reminders on preventing what can be a catastrophic injury...especially for toddlers. There are ways to help safeguard your home and kitchen to help prevent our young ones from injury.

Lara Burnside, Senior Vice President, Chief Experience Officer/Strategy at JPS Health System stops by to talk about some of the big shifts in healthcare today, of which the patient experience is one major focus industry-wide. Lara goes to work every day to oversee and help strategically improve the experience JPS patients receive, and much of what she is involved with is happening across healthcare in general. This is an interesting conversation about a very important shift that is underway.

Finally, Steve Love and Thomas Miller discuss the Coronavirus (Covid-19). Steve has been in the DFW media a lot this week, and has been in touch with his sources, and brings us up to speed on his thoughts of where we are at this critical juncture. DFW hospitals are ready, and caution is advised but the panic that is sweeping some areas is certainly not warranted at this point. Be aware, preventive, and don't panic is Steve's advice!
