292 - National Public Health Week Finale: Georges Benjamin on Mending the Broken System Post-COVID-19

The theme of this year's National Public Health Week is "Building Bridges to Better Health." Dr. Georges Benjamin, president of the American Public Health Association, talks with Dr. Josh Sharfstein about the poor condition of these bridges, from archaic lab technology and a sparse workforce to gross inequities in health care. They discuss what needs to be done to fix the system so these inequities, and current and potential health threats, can be addressed to save lives.
