A Welcome Change of Course – Dr. Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair of the Clinton Foundation

What this episode covers

What a difference a day makes. As we spoke to Dr. Chelsea Clinton the morning after President Biden’s first day in office, the public health activist, academic and author was reveling in the quick action he was taking to change course in the U.S. approach to fighting the coronavirus pandemic. “There’s so much good news this morning. Long overdue news, but still very, very good news.” Clinton, who is vice chair of the Clinton Foundation and teaches at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, also sees the need for a new direction in communications around the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccines in general. As you’ll learn in this insightful conversation with host Shiv Gaglani, Clinton's portfolio is diverse. She’s also involved in efforts to improve economic opportunity and inspire civic engagement across the U.S. and around the world, and has a special interest in promoting early brain and language development through the Too Small to Fail initiative. Clinton is also a best-selling author of children’s books including "She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World." Be sure to listen to this special episode to learn more about her work, her advice for healthcare learners and workers, and the ‘profoundly moving’ experience of watching the Biden-Harris inaugural with her three young children.
