Show Notes
It’s not that common for someone to retain her optimism even as she studies all the ways that health outcomes vary by race. Linda Villarosa, a solutions-based journalist and medical school professor, is such a woman. In this conversation, she pulls from a childhood of doing everything right and still feeling like a fly in the buttermilk as well as her early days in journalism where she was constantly coaching her Essence readers to just behave better. Now, she’s seeing a broader picture that includes both lots of kale and walking AND systemic changes to the way we deliver care.
Linda’s 5-star book, UNDER THE SKIN, was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.
This episode was made possible by PBS and AmeriHealth Caritas, which provides affordable health plans to millions.
