Who’s Missing?: Equity Informed Health and Health Services with Erin Beckwell

Recorded just twenty-four hours before Prairie Harm Reduction (PHR)—formerly known as AIDS Saskatoon—officially closed its doors on April 9, 2026, this episode features a deep dive conversation with social worker and advocate Erin Beckwell.  Erin shares her decade-long history with AIDS Saskatoon, starting from its roots as a community-led response to the HIV crisis to its evolution into a vital institution that provided life-saving services in the community.  As you will hear, Erin and her co-workers were doing Relational Service long before it even had a name.  In this timely conversation, we explore what it means to lead with a health equity lens, the frustrations of working in a huge bureaucracy, and the opportunity to do change approaches when we think outside the health care box. Resources Prairie Harm Reduction (formerly AIDS Saskatoon)Wellness Wheel Clinic (Regina)University Health Network Housing ModelVideo: How Public Policy Creates Poverty with Colleen Christopherson-CoteThis Week's Shift Shout Out: Trillium Heath Partners AI Challenge
