Medical practice and place-based care

In this episode, we dive into the inspiring story of the Klamath River’s restoration and what it means—ecologically, culturally, and personally—when dams come down. Danielle Mericle joins us to talk about her work in river restoration, her collaborations with Indigenous communities in the Klamath Basin, and the powerful lessons nature has to offer. We explore the connections between blocked rivers and human health and what it means to heal—individually and collectively. It’s a conversation about resilience, joy, and the role storytelling plays in helping us reconnect with the natural world.
