Episode Details

On this Leadership Dialogue Series podcast, AHA Board Chair Wright Lassiter III, is joined by Mikelle Moore, senior vice president and chief community health officer at Intermountain Healthcare, based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Using many examples from Intermountain, Lassiter and Moore explore the different roles that hospitals and health systems can take in advancing community health — including as leader, convener and participant — and the importance of listening and building trust in every interaction with the community. Lassiter and Moore also talk about tackling long-term issues that may take decades to solve, including addressing social determinants of health, improving mental health and well-being, and increasing access to primary care.
