    Defining Health Equity Is Now Sit Down For This

    You're in the right place. Defining Health Equity has a new name and a new direction: Sit Down For This. Doing that show, I kept noticing that somewhere around the 40-minute mark, my guests would start telling me how they got where they are. The wrong turns. The people who believed in them. The moments they almost walked away. That's the new show: one person, one conversation, one moment that changed everything. First up: Dr. Bruny Kenou is back. Last time, she told me she never thought she'd make it this far. Now she's a psychiatry resident. Stay subscribed. New episodes will show up right here. Prefer to watch?

    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)

    Part 1 Defining Health Equity with Karl Colder, 32 Year Veteran of the (DEA) Drug Enforcement Adminsitration

    We have been talking about the "epidemic" of drugs, its origin, and its disproportionate effect on health equity, especially in communities of color.  In previous episodes with Dr. Dan Morhaim, we discussed the clinical and legislative issues - now in Part 1 of this discussion, we look at the law enforcement side of drugs with a former high-level DEA official.  Is there another side to this story?  You bet and get ready for Part 2 when we discuss how the worldwide drug distribution ships drugs all over the world, what "policing the police" looks like, and how Mr. Colder became the first African American to lead a police force in West Virginia.
