Quotes:
“Mostly, what I get to do right now is to help people think about what it means to talk with patients and build relationships with patients and how that impacts health.”
“One of the things that we work really hard on in equity is ensuring a just distribution of opportunities and social goods…that are able to help people achieve health.”
“Oftentimes what can happen is that, when we do that, people can take that as a form of disrespect.”
“Instead of doing things for people, what would it look like for us to do things with people?”
“Those traditional methods just don’t work out that well.”
“We want to prevent disease much more that we want to treat it.”
“We all want to help people get healthy.”
