Many of our HLSA regulars know Dr. Hussein Musa and Dr. Adetoun Musa, the husband-and-wife physician founders of The Kingdom Healthcare System, a wonderful San Antonio based non-profit that, in their own words, “Provides access to free and affordable primary healthcare to medically underserved communities as a physical example of God’s love for all people.” Kingdom’s scope and outreach has been growing rapidly since we met the Musa’s two years ago, including the recent addition to their team of Hondo Esparza as Director of Operations. Together, they are in the midst of a new fundraising campaign featuring a chance at a really nice ATV for only $15! The drawing will be held Wednesday, May 22, 2024, so there is still plenty of time to purchase your ticket by scanning the QR code below.

Take some time while you’re here to watch this inspiring TED Talk by Simon Sinek, on how great leaders inspire action. In Simon’s words, “People don’t but what you do, they buy what you believe. And what you do simply proves what you believe.” While the video dates to 2009, some life lessons bear repetition, and Simon is a compelling speaker. Enjoy.

ProPublica Article Documents Employment Challenges Faced by Older Americans

Posted on by

A recent article by Peter Gosselin does an excellent job documenting the employment challenges faced by Americans aged 50 and over. Gosselin cites new data analysis by ProPublica and the Urban Institute that shows more than half of older U.S. workers are pushed out of longtime jobs before they choose to retire, often suffering damaging financial loss and significant difficulty in finding new employment. Those who do find employment are often underpaid and underemployed for their skills and experience. Read the full article here.
