She launched the print and digital magazine in 2005, as she became increasingly aware of the sharp health disparities facing African Americans and other minorities. There is strong evidence showing how hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cancer and other diseases are much more prevalent among Blacks. Ruth determined she could help the community by offering information on how to take care of themselves and get preventive screenings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"ONE ON ONE 091922 Segment 6 Ruth Ramsey Guest\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MwMYkEtEhoM\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Our Health Matters appears five times a year and is distributed free at 100-plus locations throughout the Kansas City metro area and via mail subscriptions.<\/p>\n<p>In this interview, Ruth describes her Kansas City roots and upbringing, and her journey that led to launching Our Health Matters as a way to bring beneficial impact to the community. With the special issue \u201cBlack Men Speak,\u201d members of the community offer personal stories of strength, health and hope.<\/p>\n<p>The issue offers frank tales of racism, prejudice and discrimination, lack of access to employment, housing and employment, and those traumatic impacts on health. As an example, Ruth describes an interview with a 16-year-old young man. When asked how he is perceived by society, he said without a moment\u2019s pause, \u201cThey think we\u2019re criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What can we do better for black men and boys? That\u2019s the reason for the special issue. Authors bring expertise from fields of economic development, health, education, housing, employment, social justice, public safety and government. The magazine serves as a resource to the community, providing guidance, inspiration and references for driving positive change.<\/p>\n<p>This issue takes a step to broaden the perception of black men in the community. \u201cWe need to look at and support our community of black men and boys,\u201d Ruth says.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">LISTEN NOW:<\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">YouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MwMYkEtEhoM\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/MwMYkEtEhoM<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Spotify: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1V7hrfo2KH87WWb5LM21ym\">https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/1V7hrfo2KH87WWb5LM21ym<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">AnchorFM: <a href=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/swopehealth\/episodes\/Swope-Health-One-on-One-with-Ruth-Ramsey-e1qk0uc\">https:\/\/anchor.fm\/swopehealth\/episodes\/Swope-Health-One-on-One-with-Ruth-Ramsey-e1qk0uc<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swope Health announces a new edition of its podcast, One on One with Swope Health, with host Eric Wesson interviewing Ruth Ramsey, publisher of Our Health Matters\u2122, a monthly health publication focused on Kansas City.
