The Health advocates

The Health Advocates are joined by Dr. Mark Rosenberg and Maria Thacker Goethe to learn about the Building Better Ancestors project, and their work on improving access to affordable care. Dr. Rosenberg and Maria help us understand public health problems, how we can use past learnings as framework to improve our future, and the steps that can lead us to solutions that promote health equity.

CONTAGIOUS CONVERSATIONS

Contagious Conversations features compelling interviews with experts who are tackling some of the world’s toughest health challenges. What lessons can we learn from victories like the eradication of smallpox? How can we expand those lessons to the fight against non-infectious diseases? And how can each of us become a better ancestor to the generations to come?

Scientist, philosopher, and public health hero, William H. Foege, MD, MPH, tells the remarkable story of the eradication of smallpox—a disease that killed more than 300 million people in the 20th century—and reflects on the lessons learned that are still relevant today.
