Global health systems have long been shaped by Western frameworks that separate health from land, environment, and community. But for Indigenous communities worldwide, health is holistic—deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge, cultural traditions, and reciprocal relationships with nature.Yet, Indigenous ways of knowing have been overlooked and undervalued within research, policymaking, and health interventions. How can we shift this paradigm and centre Indigenous-led approaches in global health?In this episode, we speak with Dr. Walter Flores, Dr. Rebecca Rae, and Dr. Lorenda Belone about Indigenous communities in health research, examining systemic barriers, the importance of Indigenous knowledge in health equity, navigating differences between Indigenous and Western research approaches, and how policy shifts impact Indigenous communities. We also discuss the connection between research, activism, and advocacy.Our guests:Dr. Walter Flores - Research Professor, Accountability Research Center, American University, Washington DC, USADr. Walter Flores is a social scientist and human rights advocate with over 25 years of professional experience. He holds a PhD and a Masters of Community Health from the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK.

Pete Hegseth began his confirmation hearings to become Secretary of Defense, and the fun started almost immediately.  Philip Alberti, the founding director of the AAMC's Center for Health Justice, said that America's health care problems on racism, classism, sexism, cisgenderism, all the isms.  Iran had built a drone development factory and was training Venezuelan military personnel at the El Libertador air base in Venezuela. One of the wide range of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) being produced there is the ZAMORA V-1, used for one-way attack missions. (And by the way, Iran has indicated that it intends to sell UAVs to other countries in the region, a practice that could - and most likely will - destabilize the geopolitical landscape in Latin America.) As some of the most destructive fires in Los Angeles County history continue to rage, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled state legislature on Sunday agreed to set aside $50 million to fight the Trump administration and defend illegal immigrants. Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Becky Brasfield has emerged as a formidable advocate for change in the complex landscape of mental health care. A certified recovery support specialist and policy researcher at the Human Services Research Institute, Ms. Brasfield has dedicated her career to elevating the voices of service users and dismantling systemic inequities. Her lived experience with psychosis, combined with her leadership in peer support, has made her a powerful critic of traditional psychiatric models that often marginalize those they aim to help. Her resume includes service as president of the NAMI Illinois Alliance of Peer Professionals, the state's first peer professional association, and recognition as one of Crain's Notable Black Leaders and Executives. She has been a fellow with both the IL Care and HSRI Behavioral Health Policy programs and was appointed Commissioner of the Southeast Expanded Mental Health Services Program. But Ms. Brasfield's work is as personal and political as it is professional. In this interview, she speaks with Mad in America's Ayurdhi Dhar about her path to recovery, the harmful impacts of medical gaslighting, and why the future of mental health justice depends on centering the expertise of those with lived experience. *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year.

In life, success is about playing the long game. Whether you're an athlete, an entrepreneur, or someone just starting out, preparation and persistence are essential. The best time to secure your financial and personal future is now—while you're young, healthy, and ready to build. A policy or plan put in place today guarantees long-term protection and growth, ensuring you're covered when your earning potential skyrockets. You'll never be younger or healthier than you are right now, so why delay?   At the same time, setbacks are part of the process. Every loss—whether in sports, business, or life—is a chance to learn and grow. It's not about swinging for the fences every time; it's about consistently hitting base hits and moving forward. Resilience means staying in the game, even when things don't go as planned, and using every resource, relationship, and lesson to build a stronger future.   By combining preparation with resilience, you can turn obstacles into opportunities. Protect your future today, embrace the lessons along the way, and remember: the path to success is built one step, one swing, and one win at a time.   In this episode, we reflect on the start of 2025, live from Times Square in New York City. We explore health equity and justice, the impact of systemic barriers on healthcare, the importance of disability insurance for young professionals, and the mindset needed for success in both sports and entrepreneurship.

Dr. Ala Stanford knew she wanted to be a doctor by the time she was eight years old. But role models were few and far between in her working-class North Philly neighborhood. Her teachers were dismissive, and the realities of racism, sexism, and poverty threatened to derail her at every turn. Nevertheless, thanks to her faith, family, and the sheer strength of her will, today she is one of the vanishingly small number of Black women surgeons in America-and an unrelenting force in the fight for health justice.rnrnIn Take Care of Them Like My Own, Dr. Stanford shares an unflinching account of her story, explaining how her experiences on both sides of the scalpel have informed her understanding of America's racial health gap, an insidious and lethal form of inequality that exacts a devastating toll on Black communities across the country, affluent and underserved alike.rnrnDr. Ala Stanford is founder of the Black Doctors Consortium, a national leader in health equity, a health care policy advisor, and former regional director of the US Department of Health and Human Services of the mid-Atlantic appointed by President Biden.

“It really has to do with this ability to, to dream and to live unencumbered.” — Dr. Dwight RadcliffSeeing justice, equity, and social transformation through the lens of hip-hop culture and Christian faith, Rev. Dr. Dwight Radcliff offers a vision of freedom and unencumbered life for the future of the Black community to which we can all bear witness.Raising challenging questions about the meaning of thriving in a culture dominated by fear, he speaks in a prophetic voice, interweaving the powerful, compounding effects of the language of the Gospel and the language of hip-hop.As a cultural theologian, community leader, and pastor, one of Dwight's many gifts is presence—presence to emotion, to the realty of injustice, and to the complexities of thriving in the context of race and gender.He speaks about the power of purpose and calling in his life, pointing out the unique insight hip-hop, rap, and R&B music can offer the human experience. He calls us to be attuned to the whole reality of pain, suffering, trauma, and struggle when discussing psychological and spiritual health and thriving. And he bears witness to fear, anger, and grief—re-sensitizing us to our pain and vulnerability—speaking truth for the sake of beauty and justice.In this conversation, we discuss:Thriving as the ability to dream and live unencumbered, and the ways the Black church embodies that thrivingThe grievous reality of Black double-consciousness that results from systemic racismAnd his personal experience as a Black man todayMental health in the Black communityThe power of sanctified purposeHow hip-hop culture and music help us understand thriving at embodied, emotional, and familial levels, beyond the horizon of rational understandingAnd how the prophetic vision of hip hop operates in the same tradition of justice spelled out by the Gospel that Jesus taught and lived.Show NotesCheck out Rev.

As health systems work to eliminate inequities in the communities they serve, are we doing all that we can to establish trustworthiness with those communities? What if there is already a lack of trust between provider and patient?Betsy Taylor, Editor of Health Progress and Philip Alberti, Ph.D., Sr. Director of Health Equity Research and Policy and Founding Director of the AAMC Center for Health Justice, join the show to discuss Dr. Alberti's recent article in Health Progress. Dr. Alberti describes why he prefers the term 'vital conditions' to 'social determinants' and offers his insights on how and how not to build and maintain trustworthiness with communities.ResourcesRead Dr. Alberti's article in Health Progress, "Building Health Communities Requires Trustworthiness"Visit CHA's Community Benefit page for up-to-date resources

Success in healthcare is not measured solely in patient numbers but in the positive impact, we make on the communities we serve. In our world, not everyone has the same chance to be healthy. Some people face obstacles that make it harder for them to access good healthcare and live a healthy life. Certain groups of people have their health at risk due to unfair barriers and unequal opportunities, making it difficult for them to afford their needed medicine.   Moreover, it is vital to realize that health injustice happens to many people not because they don't care about their health but because of specific reasons including the place they were born, their income, or even the color of their skin. Hence, to fix these problems, we must work towards a healthcare system that goes beyond just treating illnesses but also addresses the root causes of health inequalities. Because at the end of the day, healthcare is a right and not a privilege determined by one's background or circumstances.   Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo is a healthcare founder, social entrepreneurship coach, healthcare practice funding consultant, and growth strategist for women of color in healthcare. Her career as a pediatrician spans almost 2 decades and includes her work as a public health researcher & professor for over a decade. Her work has been defined by a passion for social justice, serving as an advocate and working as a global physician across sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Dr. Omolara co-founded Strong Children Wellness which provides integrated physical health, mental health, and social services for minoritized, low-income children and families. She founded Melanin & Medicine which helps mission-driven practices secure capital without incurring debt or diluting equity. Dr. Uwemedimo is an expert in purpose-led entrepreneurship, securing funding for healthcare, addressing medical racism for marginalized providers and patients, and building socially responsive healthcare spaces.   In this special episode with Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo, we will learn about the journey of a remarkable woman who has not only embraced diverse roles in healthcare but has also pioneered innovative approaches to address the needs of the underserved. The conversation highlights her dedication to healthcare, her global perspective, and her commitment to health equity and justice. She also shares insights about the challenges faced by under-resourced communities and how we can collaborate across various sectors to create meaningful and sustainable change. Join us for a captivating discussion that explores Dr. Uwemedimo's commitment to serving underserved communities and her impactful contributions to the field.   “I found that clinical medicine had this challenging piece where you could do good work in under-resourced areas but the system always was the issue.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   Topics Covered: (00:00:42) Introducing our special guest, Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo (00:02:00) The Passionate Pediatrician: Who is Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo?

And you're always told that life outside the box can be scary so we just go to school, we finish training, we pray for a job that works out.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   “The way I practice medicine is very globally informed and outside of the box. There's so much that we do in medicine that we don't even realize comes from the ingenuity of how people were working in Sub-Saharan Africa.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “One of the beautiful things though about this time of the pandemic was that it reminded me of caring in global health and the way that like things needed to move urgently, we needed to move in and out.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “Nobody else wants to take care of kids, but they don't want to pay pediatricians their worth.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   “My favorite part about my work was not like physical primary care but the relationships and trying to find all of these supports for families because that was what catapulted them to changed their outcomes and change their health outcomes.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “Some people say that in business, the scariest number in business is one because if one person, one revenue stream, there's always that ability for there to be a loophole.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “A lot of us underestimate how much we've developed and how much we have that is important and can be leveraged to nonprofits who are serving the populations.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “Health equity means that within what we have right now, how the structure is then let's provide certain additional things or certain populations who aren't getting the same access, who aren't getting the same outcomes.” – Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo   “Seeing patients is not enough. The charge that we have is to be able to take care of our community.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Connect with Dr. Omolara Uwemedimo: Website: https://strongchildrenwellness.com/; https://melaninandmedicine.co/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/melaninmedicineco/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DrOmolara/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dromolara/ Email: @melaninandmedicine.co   Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

The artists, musicians, and water protectors of South Seattle challenge flawed concepts of environmentalism by showing us that water is not a resource; but a sacred force that is inseparable from what it means to be a human being. Protecting our rivers and upholding water sovereignty is always a cultural and relational act - one that is a co-creation between the humans and the waters themselves.

Health inequities don't just happen. They're made by the broken parts of broken systems. And when those systems are left unfixed, the divide between the people with the most need and the people with the most resources grows even wider. In this episode, we're joined by two guests who are championing system reform and person-centered care to overcome inequalities in the global response to HIV.  Our guests are: Professor Kevin Fenton, the London Regional Director at the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities and President of the United Kingdom Faculty of Public Health. Dr. Oni Blackstock, an HIV researcher, physician, and founder of Health Justice, an organization helping health organizations achieve workplace equity and overcome health disparities.

We have Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo as a guest on this week's Race to Value! She is a healthcare social entrepreneur, board-certified pediatrician, community health equity consultant, career transition and business coach, public health researcher, and health justice advocate. She is currently the CEO and Co-Founder of Strong Children Wellness, a multi-award winning healthcare practice in New York City, providing integrated, physical, mental, and social health services for low-income communities of color. Back in 2019, Omolara lost her ability to walk. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic autoimmune condition. During her recovery, she became a staunch wellness advocate for women of color who in healthcare often experience disproportionally higher rates of chronic disease due to weathering – the deterioration of one's health due to medical racism and toxic environmental stress in the workplace and in society.  In response, she founded “Melanin and Medicine”, a community health equity consulting and social entrepreneurship company that helps women of color thrive by building purposeful careers within healthcare enterprises.  She also has a weekly podcast called “Funding Your Healthcare Vision” that helps visionary leaders of health centers & practices to secure grants, contracts and other funding to strengthen, scale & sustain their vision, mission & impact to support under-resourced communities of color. With her leadership insights, you too can break the barriers to health justice by building a healthcare social enterprise built on CBO partnerships and social impact innovation! Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 Introduction to Dr. Omolara Thomas Uwemedimo (CEO and Co-Founder of Strong Children Wellness, founder of Melanin and Medicine, and host of Funding Your Healthcare Vision). 04:00 The intersection of Social Entrepreneurialism and Value-Based Care, where private profit creates public good. 06:30 The difference between “health equity” and “health justice”. 07:00 Creating health justice for a psychosocially complex Medicaid patient population dealing with social and mental health challenges. 07:30 Working with grant partners and Community Benefit Organizations (CBOs). 08:30 Closing the loop between physical health and social determinants of health (SDOH). 09:00 Overcoming a flawed business model by moving physical health care delivery into the CBO setting. 09:30 Aligning the public health interest in patient outcomes with economic incentives. 09:45 How healthcare capitation (PMPM reimbursement) merges with philanthropy dollars to drive holistic care delivery. 10:00 “The collective impact of capitation and philanthropy is the precipice of an integration model that makes an impact with payers and patients.” 11:00 The majority of healthcare organizations are not conducting place-based interventions to improve health equity and create health justice. 12:30 The fatigue of healthcare providers dealing with under-resourced communities. 13:30 Starting with the patient first by addressing the referral process in addressing social health needs. 14:00 Developing a social navigation workforce as a baseline to deliver primary care to Medicaid populations. 15:00 Funding a healthcare social enterprise through embedded CBO partnerships (“reverse integration”). 16:00 “We thought we were dealing with psychosocially complex patients until we integrated our care model with CBOs.  This in where the impact can be made in VBC.” 16:30 Identifying the right community organizations (e.g. homeless shelters) in creating a holistic care model. 17:30 Securing over $2 million in grant funding within a community health network and working with other BIPOC, women-led healthcare practices to create sustainable health justice. 19:45 “Human social organizations are an essential leader in health.  We must think beyond the delivery of care when building a mission-driven healthcare social enterprise.”

Professor Larry R. Churchill, Emeritus Professor of Medical Ethics at Vanderbilt, discusses “Biotethics Reenvisioned,” a just-published book he co-authored with Wake Forest Professor Nancy M. P. King and UNC Professor Gail E. Henderson. The authors, appropriately, argue “bioethics needs an expanded vision” or beyond one that has predominately focused on patient autonomy, beneficence and nonmaleficence.  The field needs to take “a more robust role” they write and begin to address upstream issues including social determinants, health disparities, structural racism, or in sum begin to meaningfully address social or distributive justice.  The field needs to move beyond what the authors' term “lifeboat ethics” or “lifeboat framing” where issue beyond the bedside are largely if not completely ignored. The impetus for their thinking is largely, no surprise, the COVID pandemic that according the CDC has to date been responsible for 1.35 million excess deaths. During this 31-minute interview Professor Larry Churchill begins by defining “lifeboat ethics.” He discusses the harm or damage caused by the failure by the bioethics filed to address upstream justice issues resulting from social determinants, He briefly discusses scholars, e.g., Charles Taylor and Norman Daniels, who have productively commented on the social dimensions of justice and his sense of how their lifeboat framework criticism been received by the profession. We discuss at some length the book's last and lengthiest chapter “Bioethics and the Global Warming Crisis” and what bioethicists working on issues of social justice can do to educate, improve public literacy and inform policy. Larry R. Churchill is Professor of Medical Ethics Emeritus, Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Prior to Professor Churchill taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was Chair of the Department of Social Medicine. Professor Churchill is a member of National Academy of Medicine and a Fellow of The Hastings Center. He is the author of seven books, including Ethics for Everyone: A Skills-Based Approach (2020, Oxford University Press). Churchill's work has been featured in popular media such as USA Today, The New York Times, Bill Moyers' Journal, and the Alex Gibney documentary Money-Driven Medicine.

Addressing racial diversity amongst doctors can improve outcomes for people in their local communities. We speak to Dr Monica Peek, Doctor of Internal Medicine and Professor for Health Justice of Medicine at the University of Chicago, about a new study showing that a 10 per cent increase in black representation amongst clinicians increased life expectancy for black people by more than 30 days. BBC Health and Science Correspondent James Gallagher looks at an international decline in childhood vaccine take up during the Covid 19 pandemic. He discusses a new study which links taking a long afternoon nap with obesity and high blood pressure. And have you ever sensed that someone was with you when you were actually completely alone? It happened to polar explorer Luke Robertson in 2016 when he became the first Scottish person to trek solo to the South Pole. In his book ‘Presence: The Strange Science and True Stories of the Unseen Other', psychologist Ben Alderson-Day tries to make sense of the phenomenon which has been known to affect many people from Polar explorers, to people with sleep disorders or Parkinson's disease.

We are reportedly “post-COVID.” And yet, just recently, the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported steep declines in math and reading scores amongst U.S. fourth and eighth graders, compared to tests taken pre-COVID. This begs the question, what are ignoring or accepting when we claim we are post-COVID. This week, Jeanne Hruska is joined by Yael Cannon, Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown Law, to discuss health equity and justice, how they impact the conversation about being post-Covid, and the pivotal role that lawyers can play in achieving them.

Over the last several years, the COVID-19 global pandemic has helped illustrate to the nation that we are only as healthy as those who are most vulnerable among us. Disparities impacting a person's health ultimately also impact the health of our larger society. Many of these disparities have deeply rooted causes that stem from unjust policies and programs across the country. This session in our Humankindness and Health Justice series will focus on social justice as a form of health justice, addressing these deeply rooted issues and beliefs that created downstream impacts on the health of our communities.  Join us for a conversation on ways to start identifying and ending challenges that foster disparities in our communities. The conversation will feature the Honorable Willie L. Brown, Jr. former California assembly speaker, mayor of San Francisco, and long-time social justice advocate. Also joining in on the conversation is Dawn Porter, award-winning and Emmy-nominated social justice documentarian. Moderating the discussion will be Janet Reilly, co-founder and board president of Clinic by the Bay, a free, volunteer-powered health clinic for the working uninsured in San Francisco and San Mateo counties.  NOTES This program is part of the Humankindness & Health Justice series, generously underwritten by CommonSpirit Health Foundation.
