    Show notes
    (Janice Chang for NPR)

    It's no secret that during the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of doctors and other health professionals left the profession.

    Fatigue, burnout, retirement and Idaho's already large shortage of doctors has lead to larger workloads and frustrations among health care workers who have stayed in the profession.

    So how are hospitals and administrators handling burnout and retention of doctors and other health care roles? And how is recruitment going as Idaho competes with other states for a dwindling pool of health care workers?

    Dr. Kathryn Schneider, St. Luke's Systems Medical Director for Provider Well-being and Lisa Gonser, Manager of Employee Well-being at St. Luke's joined Idaho Matters to help answer these questions.

    How does a new nonprofit measure success? How about saving lives? Connecting kids to education, food and healthcare? That's exactly what's happening with the Boda Girls program.

    The program, shepherded by the Tiba Foundation, is led by a Boise-based surgeon and mostly funded by supporters in Boise and the Treasure Valley. It provides healthcare and sexual education to women living in near-poverty in rural Kenya. Most women, with an average of three to five children, work in farming and make about $1 a day.

    But the Boda Girls program has also allowed many of the women to operate and own their own Boda Bike taxi service, providing safe, efficient transportation to other women.

    Our Morning Edition host George Prentice wanted to give us an update on the program.
