Health Equity: What a Big Concept Really Means in Our Community

Health equity can only be achieved when every individual has accessible, high-quality care that allows them to reach their full potential for well-being. In the latest episode of podcast Moving Forward, Giving Back, our CEO Sarah Macdonald sits down with three incredible guests to discuss the social determinants of health and how we can remove inequities that prevent access to care in our communities. To open the episode, Sarah chats with Harvard Medical School’s Dr. Alister Martin about the current state of American healthcare and how social determinants like housing and food access impact patient outcomes. Then, Vital Connections’ Ariel Childs and the Boston Food Forest Coalition’s Orion Kriegman join the show to speak about their efforts in community-driven health equity and the importance of local engagement in improving health outcomes. An illuminating and engaging episode that gets to the bottom of healthy equity - you don’t want to miss this edition of Moving Forward, Giving Back!
