Joe Shonkwiler is joined by Kevin Dedner, CEO and co-founder of Hurdle Health, a tech-enabled provider of culturally intentional mental healthcare. Kevin joins the podcast as part of our mini-season featuring startups addressing health equity. He shares his thoughts on why he is optimistic about the future of health equity, how COVID-19 impacted how we think about mental health, and why Hurdle Health focuses on cultural humility, cultural responsiveness, and cultural intentionality, instead of cultural competency.
