This week we had such a great conversation with Sam Reid! Sam works in digital engagement and communications for an independent, nonpartisan policy institute in Washington D.C. Her Crohn's disease has had a big impact on her career and many of the issues that she works to improve such as drug pricing and barrier to care. We had a very interesting and passionate conversation about healthcare access and affordability. We also talked about how she sought connection via social media and the blogs and articles that she's written to help other people coping with their disease. She's been published in Teen Vogue, Allure, Healthline and more. Sam had to learn how to navigate the healthcare system quickly and she's channeled that into such impactful and passionate outlets. We could have talked to Sam for so much longer and it was so hard to edit this episode down!
