The MHA released a new episode of the MiCare Champion Cast, which features interviews with healthcare policy experts in Michigan on key issues that impact healthcare and the health of communities.
On this episode, Renée Branch Canady, PhD, MPA, who serves as CEO of the Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI), shares her knowledge and insight on health equity — what it is, why it matters, and what resources are available to those who want to create a more inclusive, equitable culture in their lives and work.
MPHI is a Michigan-based and nationally engaged nonprofit public health institute dedicated to advancing population health through public health innovation and collaboration, and Canady has been recognized as a national thought leader in the areas of health inequities and disparities, cultural competence, and social justice.
This podcast is part of the statewide #MiCareMatters campaign, launched in 2017, which aims to build a network of citizens — “MiCare Champions” — who will be called upon to engage in advocacy efforts to protect access to affordable healthcare services in Michigan. It is currently available to listen to via YouTube and SoundCloud.
