{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Make A Difference Minute: More Than a Diagnosis","description":"On this Make A Difference Minute, I’m joined by JoHelene Patrick, Director of Corporate and Community Partnerships with the Alabama Kidney Foundation.\n\nJoHelene takes us back to her teenage years when she faced kidney disease and shares what many people don’t always see. It wasn’t just her battle. It affected her entire family. The stress, the financial strain, the quiet sacrifices made along the way.\n\nToday, she’s using that experience to help others and to remind us of something critical. The two leading causes of kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. Those are things many people are living with every day without realizing the long-term impact.\n\nThis is a reminder to pay attention, ask questions, and take steps now that could change your future.\n\nThis Make A Difference Minute is brought to you by Premier Structures, Inc., proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.\n\nReal stories.\nReal people.\nReal impact.\nNews That Unites!™️","author_name":"The Mark White Show","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/5024444-the-mark-white-show","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43598664/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
