    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.  More importantly and what makes this conversation so compelling is that Dr. Haft did not spend his entire career in state government – not that that is bad of course…but Dr. Haft actually started his career in primary care, and in fact, was the CEO of a medical group – so, and here is what is important - Dr. Haft has lived experience in both areas we are about to discuss today. Bonus material - Dr. Haft's latest publication  - Considerations for Statewide Advanced  Primary Care Programs Be sure to continue to fact-check our show and keep your comments coming!

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.

    Defining Health Equity Podcast with Dr. Jason Spangler, CEO, The Innovation and Value Initiative (IVI)

    What are the "REAL" value and costs of healthcare?  Is it only the cost of your physician visit, hospital stay, and/or prescriptions?  And, who decided on these costs? In this episode, we talk to Dr. Jason Spangler who has spent his life trying to answer these questions.  Dr. Spangler's travels all over the world led him to lead a company studying just that.  Spoiler alert - we find out from Dr. Spangler that the most important input to the "value equation" is missing - the patient - you!  Better, Dr. Spangler and his team depend on hearing from you - our listeners, to share your experiences with the healthcare system to help Dr.  Spangler's company learn more about the true "value" in our healthcare system to make a major "health equity" shift in the system to factor in all the "costs" of healthcare, especially in the communities in need and people of color in the US. Feel free to reach out to Dr. Spangler at info@thevalueinitiative.org.
