S1E15: Digital Health and the Tele-Presenter: Addressing Inequity in Healthcare with John Jenkins, MD from Cone Health and host Dr. Nick.

Dr. Jenkins runs special projects for Greensborough Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) in Digital Health and is also the Clinical Academic Resource Director for Greensborough Campus of UNC Chapel Hill at Cone Health. The inequities in our healthcare system have been widely documented and made even more apparent with the pandemic revealing and worse amplifying them. And while the introduction of digital tools has been welcomed by many for the underserved these tools failed to bring any relief or additional benefit.

Your better pill to swallow as you look to solve the health inequities in your demographic is to seek out partners who bring trust and community to the table and empower them with the resources and tools to create a digital program that solves for the communities most in need who have remain underserved with traditional approaches. Leveraging the existing relationship helps accelerate acceptance and shape solutions that become well accepted and even owned in the very communities you are trying to serve.
