"What the heck is public health and what does that have anything to do with me?" Host Paco Abiad chats with Doctor Kathryn Quissell from the University of Virginia to expand on the core values of public health, how she came to dedicate herself to researching health inequities, and who would benefit from a little public health knowledge. (Hint: the answer is everyone!)
