Whispering Creek Health Takes on Substance Abuse and Fraud in Native American Community

Leave a comment


The issue is further exacerbated by fraudulent recovery programs that have taken advantage of Native Americans and the funds designated for their treatment and recovery. These fraudulent schemes include short-term recovery programs that recycle clients through various affiliated programs for financial gain, programs that provide abused substances to clients, and facilities that leave clients unsupervised during their recovery journey. Some even bring Native Americans from other states, leaving them far from home and vulnerable to exploitation. Whispering Creek Health, founded by Native American tribal members, is taking a stand against these issues.

“I have witnessed the abuses and challenges faced by tribal members in their recovery, and I saw the total abandonment of Native Americans when fraudulent programs were suspended for alleged fraud,” says Allen King, CEO of Whispering Creek Health. “I desired the opportunity to create a high-quality, exclusive Native American recovery program, and that’s why I partnered with others in the behavioral health arena to create Whispering Creek Health.”

What sets Whispering Creek Health apart is its commitment to providing culturally sensitive and comprehensive recovery programs. The organization offers a unique three-phase approach to recovery. Whispering Creek Health recognizes that recovery requires time and support, and their six-month aftercare program is a testament to their dedication to long-term success.

“Today I am a Culture Coordinator in the Behavioral Health field, I provide culture-appropriate-based programs in group settings and am a certified Wellbriety Firestarter for the Medicine Wheel 12 Steps program,” says Jacob Allison, a member of the Tohono O’odham Nation. “That message I got from my sponsor, ‘How free do you want to be,’ had such an impact on my life. Today I get to appreciate and enjoy life and contribute to my loved ones’ lives and the many lives I encounter in my life.”

Whispering Creek Health is not only providing hope to those seeking recovery but is also actively involved in giving back to the Native American community. The organization contributes 10% of its net proceeds to the Hummingbird Spirit Foundation, dedicated to the health and wellness of Native Americans across the United States.

42% of Likely Voters Want Cognitive Testing for Presidential Candidates

Leave a comment


Recent instances, like Senator Mitch McConnell and President Joe Biden’s verbal missteps, have been highlighted by some as potential signs of cognitive decline. These moments are sparking concerns regarding the implications of normal aging, as well as other possible medical or psychological factors that could impact a leader’s capacity to serve.

Lars Mapstead, a Libertarian presidential candidate who garnered 4% in the Gravis poll, said, “The American people are tired of Republicans and Democrats choosing the next President on autopilot. It’s time to elect someone who will unrig the system, not focus on staying in office until they reach the nursing home.”

Advocates for cognitive testing emphasize voters’ right to transparency and accountability, ensuring that candidates can handle the job’s intricacies. Many also argue that testing could enhance national security and elevate voter confidence in the electoral system by ensuring that candidates meet a certain cognitive standard.

However, there’s pushback against such an idea. Opponents highlight potential biases in the tests, which might be discriminatory. They also stress the importance of medical privacy, even for presidential candidates, and warn against the potential misuse of cognitive results as political ammunition. They believe that any testing system must be safeguarded against bias and must be run by an independent, non-partisan entity.

The in-home health care franchise is looking to tap into unmet demand in Amarillo

AMARILLO, Texas, Oct. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Right at Home, the 700-plus location in-home health care concept helping seniors and adults with disabilities live comfortably at home, is looking to expand in Amarillo, Texas. The opportunity gives local entrepreneurs a chance to make a difference in their communities and provide peace of mind to families needing care.

With over 28 years of experience providing essential care in more than 700 locations across six countries, Right at Home has become one of the world’s largest in-home health care franchises.

With an aging population of 38,000 seniors, Amarillo is primed for Right at Home’s services. Amarillo’s largest industry is Healthcare and Social Assistance, according to Data USA. This coupled with a steadily growing population in the area makes it the perfect place to open a Right at Home.
