There is so much about fatherhood that is so embedded in us, that when funny little moments happen…they remind us that life is full joy. What a happy moment to watch Neil Batavia just be a dad! #ManUPstate #Canon #5dmarkiii
I have enjoyed spending time with different fathers as we work on this #ManUPstate project leading up to Father’s Day. Derrick Lewis is an amazing man! I so enjoyed spending a few hours with Derrick and William as they read books on the front porch and played tee-ball in the front yard. We all can learn more from Derrick and how he is such a wonderful father and leader in our community! #Canon #5dmkiii #c100 #fatherhood
Meet Shaneka…who once was uninsured, received care and help through Project Access in NC, and now helps the uninsured navigate our healthcare system. Her story brought me to tears!
Watching, listening, capturing those moments when someone is learning how to navigate a complicated health care system with no insurance and no job. He lost his job after the business shut down, two weeks later he had a massive heart attack. #reallife #Canon #c100 #5Dmkiii
I have been thinking about Dwight Rice for a couple of days now, especially since following him as he returned to the jail he was once incarcerated. His return was more than sharing his message, it is proof of his redemption. Dwight is proof that investing in human capital is powerful, including those who were at one time in jail, no access to healthcare, and no job…he had the most important quality…the passion to be a better man! #Canon #5Dmkiii #bringit
Meet Ida from Georgetown, SC! She is beautiful in so many ways especially how she is fighting her Type 2 Diabetes by changing more than her lifestyle…she has changed her commitment to living a healthy life! Our interview was one of empowerment…one that left me seeing her inner beauty! We will be sharing her story soon, thanks to Tidelands Heath, AccessHealth SC, and The Duke Endowment! #Canon #5Dmkiii #bringit
Nothing more beautiful tonight than capturing this view of the Santee River during the golden hour. This bridge is alongside HWY 17 outside of Jamestown, SC! #dji #phantom3
This is one of the best updates from a hospital when it comes to the Zika virus. It comes from Mayo Clinic, and here is why it is works extremely well:
- It is simple!
- Dispels the myths
- Provides information in written and video form.
- It is sharable.
- It provides media outlets video content to download for use in broadcasts and online via the media section where they have to sign-in to download.
When I was re-reading Chapter 3 of Hardwiring for Excellence, I connected with a letter written to to Quint from a director who attended one of his conferences. His name is Antonio and he spoke about three things he implemented in his department:
- Rounding for Outcomes
- Key Words at Key Times with Key Actions
- The Pillars of Excellence
There are three areas that I am watching during this Presidential election process that I think is worth watching:
– Google Trends
– Facebook Signal
– FiveThirtyEight.com
These three areas have lots of fascinating real time data that has proven to showcase lots of predictive data, wrapped together within interesting visualizations. Data is sometimes hard to dissect and contextualize, but each of these three outlets do a wonderful job of pulling information together in some contextual meaning.
There is increased search on Google for information about Zika virus, based on data supplied by Google Trends. Charleston, SC is leading the state geographically with increased Google search about the virus along with our neighboring state (Georgia) seeing an increased amount of search. Bottom-line, people are searching and seeking information.
