This month on Discussing Disability, host Nate Wise sits down with Dr. Sarah Kranz-Ciment, founder and executive director of Friendship Circle of Virginia, to explore how her organization is building a more inclusive Richmond — one friendship at a time.
Learn how Friendship Circle connects people with and without disabilities through meaningful relationships, creative programs, and community-wide events. Sarah shares how the organization has grown over the last 12 years, the impact of its innovative programs like Friends at Home, Birthday Circle, and the Disability Expo, and how inclusion transforms individuals and communities alike.
We also spotlight Disability Inclusion Day at the Diamond, coming up on June 29 — a Richmond Flying Squirrels game designed to be fully accessible, sensory-friendly, and welcoming for everyone.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
