Voices of Vital Care has officially launched, offering a fresh, story-driven look at the people and professions that keep today’s healthcare system moving.
Focused on allied healthcare, the podcast explores the real-world roles, career pathways and in-demand skills shaping modern patient care. Through conversations with industry professionals, educators and students, the series helps the audience better understand how medical assistants, dental assistants, pharmacy technicians, veterinary professionals and other allied health specialists support clinical teams and improve outcomes across communities.

A special guest, Athena the dog, also makes an appearance, offering a lighthearted, AI-assisted perspective on the conversation.
