Annual Giving Makes Us Strong ... Every Gift Supports PALTC Now and Into the Future
As I write this, I am reflecting on the generosity and conversations I had with new and seasoned annual donors at the Annual Conference of AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine last month in San Antonio. These annual donors talked about connecting with our mission and how these acts resonate with them in building a brighter, better path for our PALTC practitioners and ultimately for the patients we serve. Many new donors have started small: a $25 gift can be as meaningful as a $25,000 gift when it is pooled with others and has a major impact on our work. (Source: Caring for the Ages)

The U.S. government is taking action to stop ‘cow flu.’ Is it too little, too late?
The U.S. government announced new measures yesterday to slow the spread of the H5N1 influenza virus among cattle, following the revelation that milk sold commercially in 10 states contained fragments of the virus. An order issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) restricts the movement of dairy cattle between states and mandates the reporting of infected cows.
The
order
comes as new genetic evidence suggests cattle infections with the virus, first announced on 25 March, may have started as early as the fall of 2023, and that the virus has likely circulated far beyond the 33 farms in eight states ...

A Test Told Me I ’m Basically Made of Plastic. You Probably Are Too
I might like to think of my body as a thing of bone and blood and tissue and water, but as I recently learned, it’s also a thing of plastic—home to an alarming amount of plastic toxins known as bisphenols. Used to manufacture mostly hard, durable plastics—such as water bottles and takeout containers—bisphenols are often found in the company of phthalates, which are used to make more flexible plastics such as raincoat linings, vinyl boots, and packing tape. Both types of chemicals are known to be hormone disruptors, leading to numerous health problems, including early puberty, obesity, heart disease,...

When Meaningful Work Backfires
It’s easy to let high stress steal our full attention. Often, high stress leaves us vulnerable to a dysregulated, unproductive state. This means we need reliable resources we can connect to in order to renew and maintain our mental, emotional, and physical energy, and to help us recover from work stressors that, left unchecked, can make us vulnerable to burnout.
As a burnout researcher, my work has been focused on pinpointing the most reliable and effective resources people can connect to in order to protect themselves from burnout. I’ve conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with people who experience hi...
