Health & Happiness, with Dr. Adeola Fakolade

Dr. Adeola Fakolade is an accomplished professional and a delightful person to talk with and get to know. She's a family medicine and public health and general preventive medicine physician who's passionate about patient access to high-quality healthcare and what that means for people in terms of their ability to thrive. To that last point, Adeola talks about the World Health Organization's definition of good health. WHO, she says, defines it as much more than the absence of disease. In this episode, she expands on that subject and talks about a range of topics that include the small pleasures of a long commute and ways to maximize your healthcare appointments.Adeola also traces her own path from medical school in Nigeria to Ashtabula, Ohio, which is in Ohio's northeastern-most county. It's considered a rural area with many under-served residents, meaning they don't have adequate access to healthcare. Adeola is working to change that, one patient at a time. Send us Fan MailThis is Kate Jones.
