Orlando Health

[upbeat music] Welcome to the Orlando Health Well Being Podcast, episode 62.

I am your host, Kayla Watson, and today I'm excited to welcome back to the podcast, Kelly Matthew.

Kelly is our manager of corporate wellness here at Orlando Health, and has been a host and even a guest on past podcast episodes.

But Kelly, what a pleasure to have you back.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

Thanks for having me, Kayla.

I always enjoy our conversations, so I'm, I'm very excited to really unpack this topic of habits today.

But before we jump in, I want you to give us a little bit of context so that the listeners know who you are, what your background and experience is, and even maybe a little bit about your current role here at Orlando Health.

But giving that information to the job seeker is so profoundly important.

I had a lady that was interviewing for a position in one of my hospitals when I was with Orlando Health.

And she was perfect on paper and perfect in all of the video interviews.

We flew her down and come to find out she had communication problems.

This is your mere mortal host, Luke Elms.

And now, without further ado, let's talk hernias.

All right, welcome to another episode of the Hernia Gods Podcast.

I'll give you an example of mine personally.

When I worked for Orlando Health, I would have a senior director of HR.

I'd probably have five or six positions open to any given time.

And each position is tied to a requisition number.

I'm an infectious disease physician.

I work for Orlando Health, but all of my views are my own and not Orlando Health.

So anything I say today is my views and my views alone.

And so infectious disease medicine is what My patients is what kind of got me into this race, seeing them struggle on a daily basis to get the access to the care and also being able to afford the care that they need.

Who's that through? My work.

Okay, do you know the company though that it goes through? I work for Orlando Health.

Orlando Health, okay.

Oh, so whoever the provider for...

Yeah, it's part of my benefits.

Everybody.

Did your wife have a life insurance policy? Who was that life insurance

policy with? Orlando Health.

I see them as they're actually trying to pump up their teams, and usually they started at the beginning, and it causes some challenges.

When we worked with Orlando Health, they would come into their staff meetings, and they would immediately complain about How they don't have enough money because of insurance, and insurance was this big deal that they couldn't deal with.

The government's dealing with that, and that's way beyond what they could do at a hospital.

But they come in with the frustrations, then they talk about some of the frustrated patients, and then they would try to allocate resources that are life and death decisions after they did all of that.
