    Aug 18 2026

    When organizations begin quietly moving away from the words "health equity," what happens to the work itself? Jacquelyn Dalton, MPH, Senior Director of Special Initiatives and Projects at Health Leads, joins Dr. Huntley to talk about why naming the work matters. They explore community-based work, workforce challenges, housing instability, relationship-centered leadership, and what it takes to sustain health equity efforts when the language around them is changing.

    PHEC 469: Preparing For The Worst Day, With Gabby Hadly, MPH
    Aug 11 2026

    A white powder incident tied to a local election. A measles outbreak unfolding at the same time. For Gabby Hadly, MPH, that was one week on the job, not an outlier.

    In this episode, Dr. Huntley sits down with Gabby, who leads public health emergency preparedness and response for Snohomish County, Washington, just north of Seattle. Their conversation moves from Gabby's personal path into public health to the daily realities of protecting nearly 860,000 residents from the emergencies no one wants to imagine.

    PHEC 468: South Carolina's Hidden Pharmacy, With Kahlia Aposhian And Jessica Gaine
    Aug 4 2026

    Across South Carolina, thousands of uninsured residents are managing chronic conditions and recovering from hospital stays without the safety net most people take for granted. For many, the gap between needing medication and being able to afford it can mean the difference between stability and crisis.

    In this episode, Dr. Huntley sits down with Kahlia Aposhian and Jessica Gaines of Welvista. They talk about a resource that has been quietly serving this exact gap for years, a free statewide mail-order pharmacy most people have never heard of, even though it might be saving lives in their own community.
