116: Power of the Podcast: Stronger After Stroke

A new annual report from the Commonwealth Fund describes in detail that Americans face greater barriers to accessing and affording healthcare than those in peer nations. Now, nurses are addressing the ongoing disparities that result through a new, growing medium: podcasting. In a new series for SEE YOU NOW, we explore how nurses are taking their expertise to the airwaves to share evidence-based care solutions, offering patients and the public vital, practical, and trusted information while also providing healthcare colleagues tools to improve education and care delivery.  Through podcasting, nurses are bridging gaps in education, care availability, and professional development, fostering better health outcomes and stronger communities.    In this episode, we meet stroke nurse navigator and podcast creator and host Rosa Hart, BSN, RN, SCRN, who witnessed patients and families struggle to grasp complex post-stroke guidance as they were being discharged. In the Stronger After Stroke podcast, she brings together stroke survivors and medical specialists and dives into common questions, hard-to-discuss topics and everything in between. Tune in to learn how Stronger After Stroke reaches patients, people, and professionals far outside of her local community feel supported and informed on their recovery journey.   Find this episode's resources at www.seeyounowpodcast.com and more information on the podcast bundles visit ANA's Innovation Website at www.nursingworld.org/innovation.
