In our latest episode, we discuss the gaps that exist in today’s healthcare systems around climate change and health, and what young people in particular are doing to bridge those gaps.
Our guests today are Hazel Rogers and Ben Rabin. Hazel is the assistant director of patient experience and cultural transformation at Mt. Sinai Morningside in New York, where she advocates for patients and employees on issues of health, equity and inclusion. Ben is a fifth-year medical student at Atlanta’s Emory University, and has worked closely with faculty and other students to make climate change a formal part of the Emory Medical School curriculum.
