Your Great American Senior Show Host Sam Yates recently had the opportunity to sit down for an in depth discussion on health care with Dr Rishi P. SIngh, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Cleveland Clinic Martin Hospitals.
In this special episode, courtesy of Florida's Number One Business Forum Podcast, The Florida Business Forum Podcast, we learn of the five year journey Cleveland Clinic has made since acquiring the Martin Memorial Health Care hospitals.
It's been a journey that began with an operating loss of $70 million the first year of the Cleveland Clinic takeover. And, a journey that has seen smaller losses each year but, more importantly, no services have been cut and the Cleveland Clinic oath of caring for patients has been upheld despite a year of COVID and unrivalled population growth for the region.
Here's Episode One of what we hope will be more in depth updates on this model of health care in Florida.

The second anniversary of America's withdrawal from Afghanistan is being noted by one Afghan family with silent smiles of hope for a brighter future in America. More specifically, freedom and hope somewhere in Florida.

The family's location is not pinpointed nor is their identity to protect them from the Taliban violence that threatened to pull the family's female members into an unimaginable servitude while the head of the family was beaten so severely, he was bedridden and unable to move from bed for more than a month. Beaten and threatened with death simply for standing up for human rights and the safety of his family after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.

A Grand Jury hinted at it. Many experts speculated on it. What was the cause or contributing factors that caused the Surfside Condo to collapse killing 98 people inside a year ago on the 21st of June at 1:22 in the morning?
The Speculation prompted Dr. Randall Parkinson, a noted geologist to do research that shows climate change may have played a role.
Dr. Parkinson agreed to a special interview with the Great American Senior Show to not only reveal his research but to add additional speculation on how future building inspections may occur and how expensive the cost of making sure additional condos don't collapse could be to condo owners and residents alike.
Dr. Parkinson says his findings could lead to major changes in the how Coastal Building Zones are viewed and reviewed with an emphasis on not only what is going on above ground levels but what secrets are hidden beneath the surface of the homes of some 2 million coastal residents in Florida.
One year ago. on June 21 at 1:22 a.m., the Surfside Condominium collapsed into a pile of rubble, killing 98 people. For the past year, there has been speculation as to what was a cause or a major contributing factor to the disastrous collapse.
Geologist, Dr. Randall Parkinson granted the Great American Senior Show an exclusive interview on Speculation that climate change and an associated rise in sea levels together with increased fluctuations in the ground fresh water levels beneath the Champlain Tower contributed to the Miami Beach area condo collapse.
Dr. Parkinson shares his research and his findings with the Great American Senior Show's grey-haired host Sam Yates in Part One of a two-part special report.

To say the Deputy for Community Outreach in Martin County, Florida takes her job seriously would be one of the greatest understatements of all time. Kherri Anderson not only takes her job of spreading the news about the Martin County Supervisor of Elections activities seriously, but she is also hands-on to every aspect of the entire election efforts for this Florida county.
One of the most favorite things Kherri does is to become the Storyteller. It's a title that she wears with pride and explains in this episode of the Great American Senior Show.
Smooth. Precise. Integrity. All are easy words used to describe the very difficult process of making sure the sanctity of the vote is maintained in Martin County, Florida. The Great American Senior Show kicks off a series of reports of how elections are protected against any perception of voter fraud while maintaining ease of voting for residents in one of Florida's most desirable counties.
Martin County Supervisor of Elections, Vicki Davis, whose office has a combined talent pool of more than 130 years of election integrity speaks candidly with the grey-haired host of the Great American Senior Show, telling Sam Yates how voters may register to vote, change their party affiliation and why vote by mail is so very popular.
Join us as we take a look at Elections 101 and beyond in a unique series of episodes that puts to rest many pieces of misinformation about Florida's election process.
The Martin County Florida Supervisor of Elections Office is on the front lines.**The battle is over the perception of Election Integrity as Florida and the entire United States heads into the Mid-term Elections.
Supervisor of Elections Vicki Davis spent time recently with the grey-haired host of the Great American Senior Show, Sam Yates, to share real information and, hopefully, dispel some of the rumors and myths that have grown in intensity in recent months about the validity of elections.
In this, the second of multiple sessions with Vicki Davis, we learn how there were attempts by the Russians to penetrate and disrupt elections and how those Russian attempts to alter our most democratic process resulted in even tighter standards for voting protection.
In the process, we also put to rest the thought (by many) that setting up, conducting, and verifying elections is an easy process. Or, one that does NOT take a full time effort or around the clock diligence to make sure our elections are fair, unhampered, and untampered.**
CEO Karla Radka, from the Senior Resource Alliance (also known as the Central Florida Area Agency on Aging) is a leader in providing seniors in Central Florida with information and services they need to carry on a meaningful day-to-day life. She also makes sure seniors have the latest tools or technology they need to be protected in today's changing society.
One of those tools is Willo and Scent Kits.
Willo is a trained Bloodhound. The Scent Kits are useful for any senior who may have diminishing cognitive skills or who may wander away from home and become missing.

The Great American Senior Show sits down in studio with Paul Foster, an advocate for Human Rights for those with autism.
Paul has been fighting for the cause for many years after a divorce separated him from his now 25 year-old son Cayman. His son, who is autistic, was placed under the guardianship of his ex-wife for what was expected to be a joint custody and visitation. What happened in reality is son Cayman has repeatedly stated his desires to see and visit his father Paul.
A seemingly confused court system for guardianship in Martin County Florida has failed to respond to either the son's pleas or the father's legal actions keeping the autistic challenged Cayman in a custody limbo for many years.
Over those many years, father and son have only been able to see one another for one hour. Not one hour per week. Not one hour per month. One hour in total over the many years the guardianship issue has been shuffled between as many as five judges.
The case is now pending before a District Court of Appeal.
This is Paul's story.

The Roosevelt Bridge in the community of Stuart, Florida is under acoustic scrutiny to determine if any flaws develop that could bring the bridge spanning the Saint Lucie River crashing down.
The Great American Senior Show has learned that the Florida Department of Transportation has "ears" inside the Roosevelt Bridge to monitor for any telltale warning signs that either concrete or encased steel tension rods may be moving or failing. The acoustic monitoring was the end result of several of the tension rods, steel rods keeping the Roosevelt Bridge held together, failing or coming close to failing which could have brought the heavily traveled span crashing down.
The Roosevelt Bridge was shut down the Florida Department of Transportation for emergency repairs that included replacing the faulty tension steel and waterproofing both the exterior of the bridge decking as well as the interior of the bridge.

Pete Tesch, president of the Economic Council of Saint Lucie County (EDCSLC) explains how economic development can be especially beneficial for seniors and those who are contemplating moving to The Treasure Coast.
Booming Saint Lucie County owes much of its economic success to the EDCSLC and seniors, in particular, have benefited with more medical facility, a world class hospital, and equally world class physicians.
Since the funding for the EDCSLC is approved by a public vote, it is critical for everyone to know how the EDCSLC works and what kind of return voters get for their tax dollars spent to build up the local economy. It's a textbook explanation (that is not in textbooks, by the way) of how ordinary citizens benefit when an entire community is dedicated to improving the local economy, building the educational infrastructure and lays the foundation for a promising future.

A new theory on the collapse of the Champlain Tower South building collapse near Miami, Florida places emphasis on the building collapsing from the top down due to lack of maintenance related to spalling and possible structural flaws.
Engineer Frederick Shaffer of Shaffer Group Inc., who has spent many years in South Florida examining buildings like the Champlain Tower offers the observation the top down collapse is supported by where the building separated -- near the elevator core -- as proof .
Shaffer also notes that for those who are worried about the safety of their building that "it's not a matter of if but of when the next collapse will take place".
An interesting side note is that all buildings of a certain height MUST be inspected every four years. Have other buildings been inspected? What do their inspections show?

For more than 30 years, the Martin County Parks and Recreation Department has solicited and hosted Olympic style competition for seniors who still have what it takes to be competitive in a variety of fields such as track, swimming, archery and much more.

With more than 60 million seniors in America, we look forward to keeping you up to date on a variety of topics, trends and discussion points.
Every April, health care professionals recommend you have a frank and honest conversation with loved ones about end-f-life care. In fact, many consider April as National Healthcare Decisions month.
Now is the time to discuss our end-of-life options and wishes so that you and your loved ones are not reacting in fear, anger or desperation when an end-of-life situation develops.
One of the most important thing to remember is the Five Wishes. It's a formatted document that allows a discussion of choices and wishes about end-of-life to be turned into a legal document that allows physicians and other caregivers to know just how you wish to be treated or not treated as you near end-of life.
The Great American Senior Show has decided to launch our weekly series of podcasts with this topic because it is so important. And, because the estimated 60 million seniors currently in America will need to make just these types of decisions.
There will be episodes of The Great American Senior Show that are fun, lively, exciting, and even revealing. However, this one is important to every senior citizen in America.
