S2 E1: Facts over Fiction: Dispatching Misinformation in Reporting
We’re not in the business of chasing headlines—we’re in the business of getting it right. In this episode, we fact-check recent reporting regarding certain audit findings, clear up what CMS data actually says, and explain why some reports aren’t ours to release. Then we shift gears to celebrate the two long-term care facilities recently honored with the 2025 Governor’s Award for Quality Care in Health Care Facilities - Briarwood Health Care Center in Iowa City and Ruthven Community Care Center in Ruthven.
