  Out of unimaginable loss came a mission to bring hope, healing, and joy to families who need it most. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa Hart speaks with Taylor Beery, Chief Innovation & Administrative Officer and co-founder of Imagine Pediatrics, a mission-driven medical group transforming care for children with medical complexity and special healthcare needs. Taylor shares his deeply personal journey that led to the founding of Imagine Pediatrics, including the story of his son, Walker, who lived with medulloblastoma, a pediatric brain cancer, for two years before passing away. Together with Walker, Taylor helped launch Kids Join the Fight in 2021—a nonprofit dedicated to curing pediatric brain cancer and supporting children and families battling the disease. Today, Taylor channels that same passion into Imagine Pediatrics, ensuring that every child receives the timely, high-quality, and compassionate care they deserve. As Chief Innovation & Administrative Officer, he oversees the daily delivery of Imagine Pediatrics’ integrated model, which combines medical, behavioral, and social support to serve nearly 40,000 children across multiple states. The organization partners with health plans to provide these services at no cost to families, offering 24/7 virtual access to personalized care that helps kids spend more time at home and less time in the hospital. Before founding Imagine Pediatrics, Taylor held executive roles across multiple industries and served as Policy Director for the White House office established to help rebuild the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina. A graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in Economics, he now lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and family. In this inspiring conversation, Taylor and Rosa explore the mission and heart behind Imagine Pediatrics, the importance of elevating caregiver voices in healthcare, and how innovation can create joy and dignity for families facing life’s greatest challenges.

• Ep 47: AI and the Future of Clinical Trials

  In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa Hart speaks with Dr. Selin Kurnaz, CEO and co-founder of MassiveBio, and Craig Lipset, a globally recognized expert in decentralized clinical trials. Together, they discuss how artificial intelligence and technology are transforming patient access to clinical research and reshaping the future of healthcare innovation. Their conversation explores how decentralized trials expand access for patients within their own communities as well as globally, the importance of patient engagement in successful research, and the critical role of trust and communication between patients and healthcare providers. They also address the barriers that keep patients unaware of available trials, the challenges of navigating the patient journey, and the need for new funding models to advance rare disease research. Key takeaways include that AI and technology can dramatically reduce the time required to match patients with the right trials, while patient engagement and trust remain essential for participation. Decentralized trials open opportunities for more diverse populations, and simplifying the patient journey helps make research more accessible. Transparent data sharing empowers patients and improves outcomes, and innovative funding strategies are vital to support research for rare diseases. Ultimately, healthcare systems must evolve to better support participation in clinical trials, and collaboration among researchers, clinicians, and patients is the key to driving meaningful progress.

• Ep 46: Kids Have Strokes Too: the Untold Story with Lisa Pabst

  Most people don’t realize kids can have strokes too—and the warning signs often go unnoticed. In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s Insights, I sit down with Dr. Lisa Pabst, a pediatric stroke neurologist, to explore the hidden realities of pediatric stroke and the breakthroughs bringing hope to families. Dr. Pabst shares her journey into pediatric neurology, the challenges of recognizing stroke symptoms in children, and how telestroke programs are transforming access to care in underserved areas. We dig into the unique causes of pediatric strokes—why they differ from adults, how seizures can mask the diagnosis, and the role lifestyle and even “stroke weather” can play. She also shines a light on the collaborative spirit of the pediatric stroke community, the importance of raising awareness, and the critical need for long-term rehabilitation and follow-up for children recovering from stroke. If you want to understand how innovation, teamwork, and education are reshaping pediatric stroke care, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Key Takeaways: Pediatric stroke is rare but requires highly specialized care. Telestroke programs are a game-changer for access, especially in rural or underserved areas. Stroke causes in children differ from adults, demanding unique treatment approaches. Awareness and education are vital for timely diagnosis and intervention. Seizures are a common first symptom of stroke in children, often leading to misdiagnosis. The pediatric stroke community is deeply collaborative and outcome-focused. Lifestyle factors like diet and activity can influence pediatric stroke risk. Resource-sharing and expert connections are key to better outcomes. “Stroke weather,” linked to viral infections, can impact stroke incidence in kids. Long-term follow-up and rehabilitation are essential for recovery. Connect with Dr. Lisa Pabst by email at: [email protected] Enjoyed this episode?

• Ep 45: Brain Health = the New Vital Sign with Phyllis Ferrell

  In this episode of Nurse Rosa’s INsights, host Rosa Hart sits down with Phyllis Farrell, a global leader in brain health and Alzheimer’s advocacy. With more than 25 years in healthcare—including two decades at Eli Lilly and Company, where she served as Global Head of External Engagement for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegeneration—Phyllis has shaped the development of late-stage Alzheimer’s treatments and now advises global initiatives through PBFerrell LLC, StartUp Health’s Alzheimer’s Moonshot, and the USC Schaeffer Institute, among others. Rosa and Phyllis dive into the powerful connections between stroke prevention and Alzheimer’s care, why routine cognitive assessments should start at age 50, and how lifestyle changes can prevent up to 40% of dementia cases. Phyllis highlights the urgent need to expand clinical trial access, especially for women who are disproportionately impacted as both patients and caregivers. She also emphasizes the vital role of caregivers, the importance of public health campaigns to reduce stigma, and how advocacy and storytelling can empower individuals and communities. Blending personal insight from her own family’s experience with professional expertise, Phyllis makes a compelling case for why brain health should be a public health priority—and what each of us can do to protect it.
