Zippy's Video of the Week
Dr. Camara Jones Explains the Cliff of Good Health
Everyone should have the opportunity to achieve good health. But, as NCFR 2021 Plenary Presenter Dr. Camara Phyllis Jones explains through her cliff analogy, that’s often not the case.
We can reduce health disparities and better connect people to high-quality medical care, but to really make a difference, we need to address the social determinants of health and equity that protect some people and push others off the cliff.
Dr. Jones will present the closing plenary at NCFR 2021.
