Moving from a career in molecular biology to a dozen years as a Congressional staffer taught Dr. Avenel Joseph the connections between science, public health, and politics. Avenel, now the Vice-President for Policy for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, joined host Dr. Michael Sparer in the latest episode of “Who the Health Cares?” to discuss why voting is good for our health, why the health system is too often bad for our health, and why local public health leadership is key to building a better health system.
