RAPTORS
BIRDS OF PREY THAT DOMINATE THE SKIES
Afew months ago, the Kentucky Medical Association received some promising health news.
The Commonwealth – long one of the nation’s poorest-performing states on health benchmarks such as obesity, diabetes and respiratory disease – had
made a big jump in the number of its residents seeking lung health screenings, lifting Kentucky to where it now ranks second in the nation.
The news, said Pat Padgett, CEO of the Kentucky Medical Association, offered encouraging evidence that public health initiatives aimed at get-
ting quality information into the hands of Kentuckians could have a sizeable impact on improving their health habits and quality of life.
And a lot of the success of Kentucky’s improved ranking, Padgett said, could be credited to KET, which had produced Fighting to Breathe:
THANKFULLY WE HAVE KET, WHICH I THINK IS ONE OF THE BEST RESOURCES THAT KENTUCKIANS HAVE FOR LEARNING HOW THEY CAN MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH.- Pat Padgett CEO, Kentucky Medical Association
Lung Disease in Kentucky, a threepart health series from 2022 that sought to raise awareness on lung health issues, such as cancer screenings, radon testing and mitigation, and smoking and vaping prevention.
“KET played an extraordinary role in getting that message out to the people of the Commonwealth,” Padgett said. “The greatest challenge in getting information out to the public is that there are so many different outlets that people use for information. But thankfully we have KET, which I think is one of the best resources Kentuckians have for learning how they can maintain and improve their health.”
Everybody in Kentucky, he added, has access to KET, both over the airwaves and online. And having a trusted source for health information, he said, is key for communities to address some of the larger health issues that might hinder a region’s quality of life.
As an example, he pointed to the strides Kentucky has made in reducing its number of smokers.
“We as a state have come a long way,” Padgett said. “We still have too many smokers, but far fewer people today smoke than they did 30 years ago. And I think that’s because of the work of organizations like KET, that have put in a lot of time
and effort to educate people about making health choices today that will have a great impact on your health tomorrow.”
KET’s health-related programming, such as Kentucky Health and KET Forums, runs the gamut, covering a wide variety of healthcare issues facing Kentuckians and provides the latest information on advancements in treatment and science, which in turn help people make more informed decisions, he said.
“Many of the health conditions that Kentucky unfortunately is a leader in, such as obesity, smoking and others, are largely attributable to lifestyle,” he said. “But whether you’re in your 20s, 50s or 60s, you can make lifestyle choices that really impact whether you will age well. And KET does a great job of providing the resources that tell people it’s never too late. You can make the changes that will help you enjoy the aging process.”
KET has launched a new initiative focused on the issues facing Kentucky’s aging population and their loved ones (see page 22). Additionally, KET’s three-part series Fighting to Breathe: Lung Disease in Kentucky may be viewed at KET.org/LungHealth.
TODAY’S KET
After raising families and working for many years, we’d like to think our golden years would be stressfree with more time to spend with family and friends, to perhaps travel or to enjoy activities and hobbies, and of course to reflect on a well-lived life.
Hopefully that’s the case, but the reality is that as we get older, there are often unexpected challenges; and for many, questions and concerns come while helping and caring for aging parents and loved ones.
Recognizing the myriad issues related to aging – dementia, heart disease, mobility, Medicare, Social Security, wills and estate planning – KET is launching an initiative called The Next Chapter to explore these and more.
Through this effort, we will be producing several programs dedicated to aging-related topics, beginning with this month’s forum on caregiving. In the coming months, additional subjects will be explored in forums and in episodes of Kentucky Health and Kentucky Edition
For more helpful information and resources, please go to KET.org/NextChapter .
Our “next chapters” are indeed a wellearned, well-deserved time to enjoy. KET’s Next Chapter initiative will hopefully help you and your loved ones make the most of it.
Sincerely,
Shae Hopkins KET Executive Director and CEOTHE NATURAL WONDERS accompanying us

Racked by guilt
This critically-acclaimed series continues the story of Max and Jake, two brothers who, while returning from a wedding, accidentally run over and kill an old man.

Taking on the Post Office
This four-part series tells the story of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. When money started to seemingly disappear from its local branches, the government-owned Post Office wrongly blamed its own managers. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, and many were even sent to prison – leaving lives, marriages and reputations in ruins. But the issue was, in fact, caused by errors in the Post Office’s own computer system –something it denied for years. Revealing a shocking David vs. Goliath fight for justice, this is the story of the decent ordinary people who were relentlessly pursued by a powerful corporation and their ongoing battle against seemingly insurmountable odds.
