IEHP and iHeartRadio Roll Out Season 2 of 'Covering Your Health'

The dynamic duo of Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) and iHeartRadio are back to bring vital health discussions to the public with the highly anticipated second season of their podcast, 'Covering Your Health.'

Scheduled to premiere on December 2, 2024, this season kicks off with the electrifying presence of Abi Carter, the 2024 ‘American Idol’ winner, who will share insights on her collaboration with IEHP and her new album, 'ghosts in the backyard.' Host Evelyn Erives takes the reins once again, guiding listeners through engaging discussions about health topics that resonate with many.

Carter's partnership with IEHP began just prior to the launch of her album, marking a significant milestone for both the artist and the health plan. Together, they aim to raise awareness about important health issues, particularly focusing on youth mental health—a subject close to both their hearts. During the first episode, listeners can expect a heartfelt dialogue reflecting on Carter's upbringing in the vibrant community of Indio, California.

IEHP's chief communications officer, Michelle Rai, shared the motivation behind the podcast, stating, _“We created this podcast to help our community learn about health topics in a fun and engaging way.”_ This commitment remains evident as they continue to break down complex health issues into relatable conversations.

Since its inception in November 2023, 'Covering Your Health' has successfully tackled a variety of subjects, from men's mental health to the rigorous preparations for the Paralympics. The first season featured notable guests, including IEHP CEO Jarrod McNaughton, setting a high bar for the enriching dialogues that followed.

As Evelyn Erives reflects on the past year, she mentions, _“The feedback I've received throughout the year has been extremely positive and inspires me to take on more challenging topics for the upcoming second season.”_ Her drive to provide listeners with valuable health insights continues to flourish as she and her team prepare for the new series of episodes.

Listeners can access new episodes of 'Covering Your Health' every other Monday on the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. For those who prefer a visual experience, video versions are also available on IEHP's official YouTube channel: IEHP Healthcare.

With IEHP’s status as one of the largest non-profit public health plans in the U.S., supporting over 1.5 million residents, the organization continues to push for accessible health care for all. They have been recognized as a ‘Great Place To Work’ for four consecutive years, reflecting their dedication to their mission of inspiring and healing the community.

As the podcast moves into its second season, both IEHP and iHeartRadio reaffirm their commitment to educating the community about health and wellness through engaging dialogue.
