S9, Ep 2- Championing Public Health in Politics: A Conversation with State Rep. Michele Grim

In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark speaks with Ohio State Representative Michele Grim, the only public health professional currently serving in the Ohio legislature. Rep. Grim shares how her background in public health advocacy led her to politics, where she now champions legislation to expand access to care, fight misinformation, and protect vulnerable populations. Together, they dive into the challenges of health policy in today’s polarized environment, and the importance of having voices at the table who understand the system from the inside out.Contact Our HostSteven Newmark, Chief of Policy at GHLF: [email protected] podcast episode produced by Ben Blanc, Director, Digital Production and Engagement at GHLF.We want to hear what you think.
