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
Defining Health Equity with Dr. Dan Morhaim, emergency medicine physician, former Maryland State Legislator (1995-2019), healthcare consultant, and author
What a treat listeners - Dr. Dan Morhaim, our guest on this episode, is virtually (6) guests in one – 40 years in front-line clinical experience, including as an emergency room physician – cannot get more frontline than that, healthcare entrepreneur, a former 24-year state legislator, author, national speaker, and professor.
Dr. Morhaim takes us behind the scenes in the state legislature discussing everything from lobbying to pass critical legislation to the war on drugs. Dr. Morhaim also brings us into the emergency room with him in an inner-city hospital and shares stories and anecdotes that will keep you on the edge of your seat (not for all listening audiences) to share with us his front-line experiences in the struggle for fighting for health equity.
