What happens when military families finally find a treatment team that truly understands their journey?

In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl sits down with Turning Winds Founder John Baisden Jr. and Admissions Director Eric Loesch to discuss the unique struggles and incredible resilience of teens growing up in military families.

From frequent relocations and parental deployments to emotional isolation and trauma, military-connected teens face elevated risks of depression, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. John and Eric explain how Turning Winds’ partnership with TRICARE East and West allows them to serve families across the country. They also break down why navigating that process can be difficult without expert help.

Whether you’re a parent searching for answers or a professional looking to support a military family, this conversation offers valuable insight into the realities of access, advocacy, and outcomes for teens in need of residential treatment.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
