About Org: Envisioning Access is a Boston based 501 c 3 that is developing, in conjunction with tech start-ups and universities, innovative technologies like AR/VR, robotics, AI for those living with physical disabilities. Started in 1979, the organization has recently undergone a dynamic transformation from a service animal model to establishing an Innovative Technology Initiative. We are working with scientists and designers,some of whom have physical disabilities themselves while also using our recipient base and developing relationships with other partners to bring on those who will use these technologies to test the products and provide input on the design and efficacy of the product. At Envisioning Access, we are amazed to discover that technology developed for the disability community is often developed without the input of anyone in the disability community. Our hope is that no technology for the disability community will bemade without the feedback of those using the tech, and if possible, developed by someone in the disabilitycommunity. All our projects have three main goals in addition to providing accessibility for all. The technology must:• provide a means to assist with a path for meaningful employment;• offer assistance to getting back to school if that is what the individual wants; and,• help alleviate isolation. About Diane: As the executive director of Envisioning Access, Inc., Diane Nahabedian leads the organization&#39;s dynamic transition from providing service animals to developing innovative technology for people with physical disabilities. With over 35 years of nonprofit management experience, she has a proven track record of enhancing the stature, financial security, and strategic partnerships of organizations through effectivedevelopment, marketing, and communications.Diane has expertise in branding and rebranding organizations, and works with teams including boards and staff to plan and execute revenue-generating events and programs.

When he came out on the other side of surgery and recovery, he made a call to Ed Randall, asking to be &#34;a foot soldier in (his) army.&#34; That role has expanded to helping to manage strategy for a modest-sized but hard-working charity that supports men at all stages of their prostate cancer journeys.Fans for the Cure was founded in 2003 by sports broadcaster Ed Randall to bring awareness of and education about prostate cancer to men, with an emphasis on the importance of early detection. The charity has evolved from bringing its message to sporting events to supporting and organizing health fairs and screenings in underserved and vulnerable communities. Fans for the Cure also moderates over fifty support groups annually for both men and for women/partners/caregivers. The charity also refers between 100 and 200 men each year to trusted urologists and oncologists for diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship monitoring.#ProstateCancer #prostatecancerawareness #prostatecancersurvivorTune in for this sensible conversation at <a href="http://talkradionyc.msnd26.com/tracking/lc/55a823b6-3838-404f-b133-bd448f75a057/e39b8abf-4cb7-426c-827f-565623b8b2bd/f25fc686-2a52-46eb-9d50-40591187f976/" rel="nofollow">TalkRadio.nyc</a>

EPISODE SUMMARY:Most people have never heard of a human milk bank. This is an opportunity to learn about a source of nutrition that just about everyone has experienced, but knows little about.

Seeking a shift into management, she pursued an MBA from Columbia Business School, a stepping stone to her role at Kraft Foods. Here, she managed strategic planning and marketing for renowned brands like Maxwell House Coffee and Post Cereal, culminating in leadership of Global Consumer Services. Eager to reconnect with health promotion, she attained a doctorate in public health from New York Medical College, propelling her to become Director of Operations and Communications at ChildObesity180 at Tufts University.  In this capacity, Linda harnessed her managerial acumen and public health expertise to propel a startup nonprofit into a prominent entity in the fight against childhood obesity. Displaying an unwavering commitment to child and family well-being, she joined Harlem Children’s Zone, entrusted with extending the successful Healthy Harlem initiative nationwide.  Presently, as Executive Director of the New York Milk Bank, Linda enthusiastically spearheads the provision of pasteurized donor human milk to preterm infants and medically fragile babies, furthering her mission to enhance the health outcomes of the most vulnerable.Name of your organization:The New York Milk BankWebsite: www.nymilkbank.orgFacebook: @nymilkbankInstagram : @nymilkbankLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-york-milk-bank #breastfeedingisbeautiful #breastfeedingsupport #BreastfeedingLife Tune in for this sensible conversation at <a href="http://talkradionyc.msnd26.com/tracking/lc/55a823b6-3838-404f-b133-bd448f75a057/e39b8abf-4cb7-426c-827f-565623b8b2bd/f25fc686-2a52-46eb-9d50-40591187f976/" rel="nofollow">TalkRadio.nyc</a>

WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?We believe that our families and communities are better off when mental healthcare is available at every age. However, older adults face multiple barriers to accessing treatment, including stigma, financial cost, transportation challenges, and language. Negative stereotypes are another barrier, as they teach us that depression is a normal part of aging and that older adults are unable to grow and change. We hope to draw the audience into a conversation about how mental healthcare can support the overall well-being of older adults and strengthen families and communities.EPISODE SUMMARY:About Nancy: Nancy Harvey, LMSW, has served as the chief executive of the Service Program for Older People (SPOP) in New York City since 1990.
