In this episode we hear from the one and only Jan Rader, the first woman to lead a professional fire department in West Virginia and a TIME100 Most Influential Person in 2018. Over the length of her career, Jan’s dedication to combating the opioid epidemic (along with compassion fatigue among first responders) has inspired folks engaged in similar fights not just in the Mountain State, but across the country and even the world. Though she recently retired as Huntington’s fire chief, Jan continues to spearhead innovative solutions to some of West Virginia’s most pressing healthcare challenges as director of the Huntington Mayor’s Council on Public Health and Drug Control Policy. In the face of both searing criticism and soaring praise, she has stayed the course, remaining laser-focused on her mission to save and improve lives.
