    On this Make A Difference Minute, I talk with retiring band director Landon Manning about 25 years of service to Vincent Middle High School and the impact he hoped to leave behind.

  • Protecting the People Who Care for People

    Protecting the People Who Care for People
    May 8 2026
    Tonight’s edition of The Mark White Show focuses on an issue affecting healthcare workers across America: workplace violence in hospitals and healthcare settings. As someone who has served on the Athens-Limestone Hospital Patient & Family Advisory Council (PFAC) since 2023, this conversation hits especially close to home for me. It’s interesting timing that tomorrow’s PFAC meeting will include discussion surrounding workplace violence, while tonight’s show addresses the growing concerns nurses and healthcare workers are facing every day. With this also being National Nurses Week, the conversation feels even more important. Joining me tonight are John Voight, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Medical Center, and Mike Shore, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise at Axon. We’ll discuss the realities healthcare workers are facing, how workplace violence impacts staffing and patient care, and what steps can help create safer environments for the people serving on the front lines of healthcare. Healthcare workers show up for people during some of the hardest moments of life. They deserve support, protection, and appreciation for the work they do every single day. Real stories. Real people.
