    May 21 2019

     Art and medicine initially do not seem to intersect significantly, but integrating the arts into medical education and treatments can improve health outcomes.

    Episode 4: Economic Instability
    Dec 22 2018

    In this episode, we talk about the harm of economic instability on healthcare. DC’s income inequality—which tops any state—leads to health inequities between the rich and the poor. Lower levels of income stability can lead to stress-related illnesses as well as environmental health issues. Also, it creates barriers on the path to effective healthcare.
