335 - Investing in Health Equity

<p>Maryland’s new Health Equity Resource Act will provide more than $50 million to support community-led plans that advance health equity. What might these plans include? Where did this idea come from? <strong>Dr. Josh Sharfstein</strong> interviews <strong>Michelle Spencer</strong>, a faculty member at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who previously led the development of a similar program to establish "Health Enterprise Zones" across the state. They discuss the concept of place-based programs, share examples of community investments in health, and talk through what to look for as this new law is implemented.</p>
