Defining Health Equity - From the People On the Frontlines
Health Equity is a complicated and huge problem for all of us, not just the people suffering from poor health as a result of many issues that may be out of their control - where they live, genetic history, or cultural differences that make it difficult to navigate our healthcare system. This Podcast series will explain what Health Equity (or Health IN-Equity) is all about by using words, examples, and stories so everyone can understand this complicated problem. And based on what we learned about COVID, it is in everyone's best interest to be concerned about the health of everyone in this country to prevent another healthcare pandemic.
Defining Health Equity - From the People On the Frontlines
Introduction to the Defining Health Equity Podcast Series
A full description of what "Health Equity," or really "Health IN-Equity" means from a layperson's perspective. We will outline the unique strategy we will be using to explain the implications of this problem with terms, examples, and stories that everyone can understand.
In this introductory episode we will also discuss why everyone, not just the healthcare experts in the field, needs to know what Health Equity means to our entire population. We will discuss the overall impact of the lack of Health Equity on our economy and more importantly, the drastic difference in health outcomes in the populations suffering from this problem.
