Come explore the ongoing efforts towards equity in healthcare and the challenges we still face in this thought-provoking episode of The Bridge: A Transformational Health Podcast with Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers. As someone deeply passionate about equity in health, I reflect on the progress being made globally to address healthcare disparities.   Highlighting Effective Programs: I share some examples of ongoing work including a specific initiative at my alma mater, The University of Pittsburgh, where a program educates children on bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (bCPR). This program has shown remarkable success in empowering children to act during emergencies.   Questioning the Status Quo: Despite commendable efforts, I raise critical questions about whether these initiatives are truly enough. I challenge the current healthcare system's approach to managing health issues rather than solving them. Access to care remains a significant hurdle for many, coupled with high costs and lengthy wait times.   Real Effort Towards Equity: I provoke discussion on what constitutes genuine effort towards equity in healthcare. Is it merely publishing articles in prestigious journals or implementing tangible changes that benefit real-world patients?   A Call for Heart-led Change: It's time to shift towards a new pathway guided by compassion and love. I discuss the potential of empathy-driven approaches to lead us towards more effective, inclusive healthcare solutions.   Join me as we explore these crucial topics with an open heart and a commitment to finding meaningful solutions. Let's ignite a conversation that moves us closer to true equity in healthcare.
