Trump’s $50B rural health bet meets a healthcare desert in North Carolina

By Sarah Jane Tribble and Amanda Seitz KFF Health News WILLIAMSTON — Two years after her brother’s death, Debra Pierce still wonders whether the 50-year-old would have survived his heart attack if her local hospital hadn’t closed. “The sad thing is we’ll never know if he could have been saved that night or not, because we don’t have a higher level of care in this county,” Pierce said as she stood outside the mobile home where she last hugged her brother....

How Sleep Affects Health, & Changes With Aging

Sleep. Everybody needs it. Many of us don’t get enough of it. These are common truths that almost everyone knows. But a few years ago, I had the opportunity to learn quite a bit more about sleep, and how it affects health. I came away convinced that sleep is a core pillar of health. It deserves more attention from us as doctors, and as individuals concerned about our own health or that of an aging relative....

After that cardiac arrest, Yentz, who had been a student athlete at East Carolina University, was diagnosed with a rare genetic heart condition called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, or ARVC....

Giving more teeth to public health in dentistry

By Anne Blythe Mary Otto was a reporter at The Washington Post almost two decades ago when she came across the story of a Maryland boy whose lack of access to routine dental care would expose a broken oral health system. Deamonte Driver was just 12 years old in February 2007 when he died from a brain infection. The cause? An untreated tooth abscess that could have been prevented had his mother not encountered so many barriers to getting her son dental care....

Migrant workers, advocates work to get ready for long, hot summer

Delayed, denied, diffused: Families face an uphill battle in nursing home cases

By Ashley Fredde When first responders responded within minutes to a 911 call from Clayton Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Johnston County, they arrived to find that resuscitation had not yet begun. The resident was pronounced dead just over 30 minutes after the call. At the same nursing home, a resident asked for her wound dressing to be changed after reporting pain and a foul odor....

UNCW gets UNC System blessing to continue medical school planning

By Kate Denning Carolina Public Press The University of North Carolina System Board of Governors voted Thursday to let UNC-Wilmington move forward with the planning process for its proposed medical school. It’s the next step — though an unusual one — in the university’s effort to mend healthcare inequity by increasing access in Southeastern North Carolina. The university announced its interest last month in opening a medical school that would offer a traditional four-year medical degree and a three-year accelerated track, leading to the ...

10 Things to Know About Delirium

Pop quiz: What aging health problem is extremely common, has serious implications for an older person’s health and wellbeing, and can often – but not always – be prevented? It’s delirium. In my opinion, this is one of the most important aging health problems for older adults to be aware of. It’s also vital for family caregivers to know about this condition, since families can be integral to preventing and detecting delirium....

Lawmakers target hospitals – and Atrium Health in particular – in reform bills

By Michelle Crouch Co-published with The Charlotte Ledger Atrium Health would have to add four local elected officials to its board under a North Carolina state Senate bill — one of several proposals this session taking aim at the growing power of large hospital systems. The bill, SB 961, would also require any meeting of county hospital authority board members to comply with North Carolina open meetings laws, a provision that appears to address concerns that Atrium Health has conducted much of its substantive business behind closed doors....
