A Conversation about Health Equity

This week on the podcast, Dr. Ndidi Unaka, and Dr. Andy Beck join us for a conversation about health equity. We answer the questions: What is health equity? How can the healthcare system achieve health equity? And, what is Cincinnati Children’s doing to foster and support this work? We also dive into the definition of social determinants of health and the long-term effects they can have on a child. Our guests also give advice on how people who are not in the medical profession can help make health equity a reality.
