Reimagining Pediatric Care with Imagine Pediatrics
For families of medically complex kids, the healthcare system often feels broken—long hospital stays, insurance battles for basic needs, and constant caregiving without real support. But what if there was a better way?
In this episode, I’m joined by Taylor Beery, co-founder of Imagine Pediatrics, Jody Copp, a full-time rare disease dad of two boys with Combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency type 13 associated with a mutation in the PNPT1 gene and whose family has experienced firsthand the impact of their care model. Imagine Pediatrics is changing the game by providing 24/7, in-home, virtual-first medical care designed to keep kids safe at home—not in the hospital.
He also has a rad foundation that we will chat about in a future episode: Raising Wheels Foundation
If you are in Texas, Florida, and District of Columbia you have access to Imagine Pediatrics!
We discuss:
💙 The problems with the current healthcare system for medically complex kids
💙 Why "safe days at home" should be the goal of pediatric care
💙 How Imagine Pediatrics partners with families rather than making them fight for care
💙 The economic case for home-based care and why insurance should want this model
💙 Walker’s legacy— how Taylor’s son inspired a movement to improve pediatric healthcare Kids Join the Fight

In this episode of Beyond Clinical Walls, Dr. Bayo underscores the importance of comprehensive eye exams, which reveal more than just vision issues—they can indicate overall health concerns as well. Joined by Dr. Donahue, an optometrist with deep family roots in eye care, the discussion illuminates how routine eye examinations are a crucial aspect of preventive health care.
Dr. Donahue highlights that eye exams can detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, long before other symptoms manifest. This episode reveals that an optometrist's role extends beyond prescribing glasses or contacts; they are pivotal in catching health issues early through the unique vantage point of eye health.
The conversation also tackles common misconceptions about eye health, emphasizing that good vision does not negate the need for regular eye check-ups. Dr. Donahue shares insights on the critical differences between vision tests and thorough eye health examinations, stressing that both adults and children should undergo regular eye assessments to catch issues like glaucoma—often dubbed the "silent thief of sight"—before they cause severe damage.
Dr. Bayo and Dr. Donahue discuss actionable tips and resources available for those who may not have direct access to eye care due to financial constraints, highlighting programs that provide essential services for eye health maintenance and care.

In this deeply personal and informative episode, hosts Marianne and Christy are joined by panelists Jean Lee, Ann Campanella, Loretta Woodward Veney, and David Iverson, all caregivers for ten or more years, as they explore the five pillars of caregiving – emotional toll, physical strain, financial difficulties, social isolation, and coping strategies.
Key Themes & Takeaways:
Emotional Toll: Caregivers shared moving personal stories of grief, guilt, and anger while navigating their loved ones’ dementia journeys. There is strength in allowing yourself to grieve, as highlighted by Ann Campanella, who stated, “Grieving clears the way to bring in joy and beauty.”
Physical Strain: From exhaustion to disruption of sleep cycles, the taxing demands of caregiving impact physical health drastically. David emphasized practicing self-care through exercise and staying physically active as a necessary coping mechanism.
Financial Difficulties: A significant challenge highlighted was the cost of care, with inputs from Jean, Loretta, and Dave emphasizing the overwhelming need for better elder care policies. Loretta noted how caregivers should proactively explore local programs like Medicaid waiver lists early on for financial support.
Social Isolation: Many caregivers expressed feeling isolated, especially given the stigma surrounding dementia diagnoses. Loretta found joy in keeping her mother socially active, even organizing creative activities like Lego building to keep her mother engaged.
Strategies for Coping: Incorporating joy into daily routines was a recurring theme, especially for Loretta, who promised her mom “a little bit of joy every day.” The authors shared reminders to stay connected with loved ones and leverage support groups for affirming connections and shared experiences.

In early March HIMSS Global (https://www.himssconference.com/), the currently biggest global gathering about healthcare IT took place Las Vegas. A few tens of thousands of people visit HIMSS Global every year, it can take 20 minutes to get from one session to another in another building, therefor preparation and planning are key.
This year, the key topic seemed to be how are companies embedding AI in their solutions. Hospital leaders talked about cybersecurity, and political uncertainty impacting the future of digital health development. I asked a few participants at HIMSS Global, who are also speaking at HIMSS Europe in Paris in June 2025, about their reflections on the content at HIMSS.
