We interviewed Holly Lang, Founder and Managing Director of Fair Play,  to better understand COVID-19's effects on vulnerable communities. Holly  discusses the public health impacts through her lens as a health care  economist. She explains how telehealth is emerging as a major factor in  regions that were previously reluctant to adopt it as a method for  delivering care, particularly within rural spaces. Although hard to  predict what the impacts of COVID-19 will be on communities and  vulnerable population's health, she offers a few hypotheses based on  Fair Play's research findings.
