Healthcare has a thousand podcasts and almost no signal. The TopHealth Desk is where that changes.
This is the flagship show of the TopHealth network – the desk where physicians, operators, founders, and executives sit down and say what’s actually happening in healthcare. No PR scripts. No sponsored talking points. Just the people building, fixing, and rethinking the system, on the record.
Each episode covers a different corner of the industry: clinical innovation, physician entrepreneurship, health tech, policy, practice economics, and the business of care. Hosted by the TopHealth editorial team, not a single personality – because the story is bigger than any one voice.
If Bloomberg and ESPN had a healthcare desk, this would be it.

On this episode of TopHealth Desk, we’re joined by Kate Myczek, a driven nurse practitioner, educator, and inventor whose commitment to healthcare access is transforming lives. Kate’s career journey has spanned from classrooms in South Los Angeles to ERs and home visits as a primary care provider in Chicago’s underserved communities. Her firsthand insights into systemic barriers, from unstable teaching jobs to the real-life challenges her patients face, have fueled her passion for equality in healthcare and prevention.
Kate opens up about her own life-changing experiences, including a late diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and supporting her husband through a traumatic medical crisis. These moments not only reshaped her view of medicine but inspired her pursuit of nursing and advocacy.
Through school-based health centers, innovative approaches to sexual health for teens, and founding her own practice, AdvoKate, Kate brings authenticity, compassion, and resourcefulness to her mission: ensuring everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to the care and protection they deserve. Get ready to meet a true “Jane of all trades” who’s making healthcare more human, one patient, one community, and one bright idea at a time.
