Episode 2: COVID: The Great Revealer

"Who's affected most by COVID and why? Who deserves to receive care? And how can we treat everyone equally - both in society and in the hospital? This week's episode of Contakt World dives into the hot-button issues of race, equal access to healthcare, and the political determinants of health - specifically, how historic inequities in our health system have never been more apparent. As COVID disproportionately affects communities of color, we talk with national health equity leader Daniel E. Dawes, executive director of Satcher Health Leadership Institute at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta. A co-founder of the Health Equity Leadership and Exchange Network (HELEN), he shares unique insights from the frontlines of the healthcare reform movement, and provides a thorough overview of how we, as a country, even got here."
