In February's introductory episode of Super Adaptables, hosts Corey “Pheez” Lee and Jonathan Sigworth dive into the social safety net offered by the U.S. Veterans Health Administration. They explore how VA healthcare has historically supported disabled veterans, reflect on Corey’s personal journey as a Navy veteran with a spinal cord injury, and question why similar universal healthcare isn’t available to all Americans with disabilities.
This year on Super Adaptables, we’re diving deep into social safety net programs - a new topic each month with weekly episodes - exploring how they function, their challenges, and their impact on all our lives. 🎙️Hosts: 🎤 Jonathan Sigworth – C7 quadriplegic, More Than Walking CEO 🎤 Corey “Pheez” Lee – C4 quadriplegic, More Than Walking Peer Mentor Coordinator, Hip Hop artist 🔹 Join the Conversation 📩 Sign up for our newsletter & Zoom events: https://www.morethanwalking.com/register 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform or YouTube – Search "More Than Walking" or "Super Adaptables" 🔹 Get Involved in Disability Advocacy 🤝 Connect with advocacy organizations: https://bit.ly/MTWAdvocacyNetwork 📢 Share this podcast with friends (email template): https://bit.ly/ShareSuperAdaptables 🔹 Disclaimer The views expressed on this podcast are those of individual speakers and do not necessarily reflect those of More Than Walking.
