health prevention

How can we reduce costs, yet improve the healthcare delivery system? Dr. Denis Cortese, Director of the Health Care Delivery and Policy Program at ASU, says that there’s at least one third waste in the system. He shares a comprehensive plan from the Mayo Clinic Health Policy Center that restructures health care from a hospital-centered, transactional model to a high-value, patient-centered system with Health2049 podcast co-host Bisi Williams.

There’s more to health than medicine, a doctor and a hospital. How do we shift healthcare to include overall wellbeing? Dr. Jeffrey Kaibin Lin, a physician at the Los Angeles Department of Health Services, shares his experience working in a Transitions Clinic and the services they provide to those returning from incarceration with Health2049 podcast co-host Bisi Williams. He envisions a completely open access, equitable universal healthcare system that is driven by compassion.

Michelle Hart '89, program administrator of Westchester County, NY’s Department of Community Mental Health, knows first-hand what it's like to battle COVID-19 as an essential worker. Since February, she has been helping patients and providing them with the emotional support they may need. In fact, Michelle worked on the very first suspected case of the coronavirus in the county. Her time at UHart as a psychology major and health sciences minor is what led Michelle down the path of helping those in need of emotional support. She went on to earn her master’s degree in applied psychology from New York University in 1994. In times like these, she says it's important that everyone knows help is there for everyone who needs it. "It can be heartbreaking at times knowing you were talking to a family member who just lost a relative to COVID-19," says Michelle. "Being human, you also at times worry about your own safety and those you supervise when dealing with vulnerable populations, but knowing they need assistance now more than probably ever before."
