AtlantiCare on Aug. 2 went live with the launch of its podcast to further demonstrate its commitment to meeting people where they are in life with the information, resources and connections that promote physical wellness, emotional well-being and an elevated quality of life.
“Spreading the Health” will air episodes up to 30 minutes long, exploring a new topic every month. It’ll include common health and wellness topics that, while of interest to a large and diverse group of individuals, frequently pose challenges in terms of those individuals finding the answers they seek in a way that is convenient, accessible and comprehensive.
The health care system – which serves communities in more than 100 locations in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May and Ocean counties – said that each “Spreading the Health” episode will explore topics of broad appeal and then guide listeners to additional resources related to the subject.
Episodes will feature at least one AtlantiCare expert addressing a specific health and wellness topic. Topics will be based on timeliness, potential to impact the largest and most diverse group of people, relevance to the New Jersey community and what AtlantiCare team members are hearing from their patients.
Voice of reason
Episode one got directly to a concern of particular interest to the approximately 1 million New Jersey residents diagnosed with COVID-19, as well as loved ones concerned about their physical and mental health down the road.

During the debut, AtlantiCare Telehealth and Ambulatory Quality Medical Director Mary Ann Yehl provides guidelines on what may indicate a person is experiencing long-term effects of COVID-19 and explores the physical and emotional impacts being a long-hauler may have.
Yehl also walks listeners through the ways AtlantiCare’s new post-COVID-19 Long-Haul Clinic helps individuals overcome challenges through integrated, professional services developed specifically for those with COVID Long-Haul.
Upcoming topics include stroke and neurological conditions, prostate cancer care and heart health.
