Hiding in Plain Sight: What's Missing in Health Equity | Keri Norris | TEDxEmory
I decided to go with this really powerful YouTube video this week in lieu of a podcast. I wanted to share Kerri Norris’ Tedx talk on a very important issue in American healthcare - health equity.
Kerri argues (and she’s 100% correct) that giving everyone health insurance, for example, isn’t enough to achieve true equality. There is much more that goes into a person’s health - access to nutritious food, life stressors (even those starting in the womb), transportation, quality housing, and much more.

ā€œFor many of our customers, virtual care continues to be the best way to meet their needs in a cost-effective manner.ā€
