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 - Primary Care and Public Health, Siamese Twins Separated at Birth featuring Dr. Howard Haft, Former Maryland Health Dept. Official and Primary Care CEO
Dr. Howard Haft is an expert on the two topics discussed in this episode - Primary Care and Public Health.

Bonus material - Dr. Haft's latest publication - Considerations for Statewide Advanced Primary Care Programs
