Roundtable discussion focuses on saving Mississippi hospitals
SUMMARY: The “Save Our Hospitals” tour took place at the Jackson Hinds Comprehensive Health Center in Mississippi, with the goal of finding ways to save hospitals. The event discussed the state's hospital crisis and highlighted the need to expand Medicaid. With over 20 hospitals closing in the state, there is concern about people needing to travel long distances for care. Healthcare professionals believe that Medicaid expansion will not only bring in revenue but also provide better care and save lives. State economists agree that it will not negatively impact the state and will create jobs and improve healthcare quality.

SUMMARY: Chris Manard, a volunteer for the Tupelo Lee Humane Society, introduces Cliff as the pet of the week. Cliff is a beautiful dog who has been at the shelter for months and is in need of a loving home. He is friendly towards people but may be selective about other dogs. His adoption fee is only $50 due to the Bissell Foundation covering the rest. Cliff is up to date on shots, neutered, and ready to be adopted. Chris encourages people to come meet Cliff and give him a forever home.
Meet Cliff, the Pet of the Week for May 10, 2024!

SUMMARY: Children's mental health is at an urgent state, with rates of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and suicide attempts on the rise. Factors such as genetics, physical health, poverty, and adverse childhood events contribute to mental health struggles. The increase in social media usage among kids has also been linked to higher levels of anxiety and depression. Parents are encouraged to have open conversations about mental health, look out for signs of mental health struggles in their children, and prioritize their own mental health as well. Early childhood is critical in building a strong mental health foundation for children. It is important to seek help from primary doctors and mental health professionals when needed.
A pediatric doctor and a licensed professional counselor have seen the state of children's mental health reach a crisis point for more than a decade.
