SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves declared a World MSD Day, highlighted by a blue-lit lighthouse on Highway 90. This recognizes the efforts surrounding MSD, a rare and fatal neurological disorder, often associated with the annual Zebra Run fundraiser hosted by the United MSD Foundation every February. A Coast mother emphasized the significance of community support, stating that fundraising efforts in South Mississippi have raised millions to advance gene therapy clinical trials. She noted that pharmaceutical companies tend to overlook smaller populations, but local involvement has helped bring attention and resources to develop potential treatments. Donations can be made at curemsd.com.

Expert Talk - Senior Medicare Patrol (Telehealth Fraud)

www.youtube.com – WXXV 25 – 2025-04-18 13:37:08

SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.

SUMMARY: The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway supports families like Charlie’s, who benefited from the hospital’s free treatment for bone cancer. In 2020, after Charlie injured his shoulder, a specialist at St. Jude diagnosed him with Ewing sarcoma, leading to 14 rounds of chemotherapy and a limb-sparing surgery. The treatment, costing $2 million, was entirely free for the family, including housing, gas, and food. Now 15, Charlie helps raise millions for St. Jude and continues regular check-ups. The Dream Home Giveaway not only offers a chance to win a house but also supports the life-saving work at St. Jude.
