Going Deep with Linda Villarosa on Being Seen
Description
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.
