In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Alice Hm Chen, Chief Medical Officer at Covered California, the state’s health insurance marketplace, which actively works to ensure that Californians can find affordable, high-quality coverage. Dr. Chen has held leadership positions across state government and academic institutions with an aim to enhance access and quality of care for vulnerable communities. As a clinician, her unique perspective on health delivery systems, primary care investment, the social determinants of health, and advocacy imparts key insights for current and future leaders in healthcare and policy.
