Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders, as well as innovative thinkers who are working to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this installment, I check in with Tomás León, interim president of the Equality Health Foundation, a Phoenix, Arizona-based company focused on improving access to high quality care for underserved populations. We talk about the importance of addressing social determinants of health to mitigate some of the root causes of health disparities and inequalities. We also discuss the impact of COVID-19 on communities that were already underserved.

We hope you enjoy the conversation. Please tell us what you think, and let us know who you would like to see interviewed next:
