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
"A Hidden Public Health Crisis," Defining Health Equity with Dr. Michael Auerbach, M.D.
"Iron deficiency: the most common malady on the planet. Once known as “iron-poor blood,” this condition is more serious and widespread than most people imagine. Its more advanced form – known as iron deficiency anemia – this condition affects approximately 50% of women overall and up to 90% of pregnant women, especially minority and poorer women."
Join us as we discuss this crisis and the implications for babies born to these women with Dr. Michael Auerbach, Hematologist-Oncologist, an internationally recognized researcher in the treatment of iron deficiency, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Georgetown University School of Medicine.
