Podcast 278: Where equity and community health intersect — a conversation with Joseph Betancourt

Clinical Conversations

An internist at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Joseph Betancourt also runs their program on equity and community health.

In this, the final entry in our four-interview exploration of race and clinical equity, Betancourt talks about the need for medical institutions to pay attention to what’s happening in their patients’ communities. To that end, MGH has a “bodega makeover” initiative to bring healthy food choices to local stores. (His grandfather’s bodega in Spanish Harlem likely served as an inspiration.)

Running time: 17 minutes
