This episode focuses on the issues surrounding vulnerable populations as they relate to COVID-19 and the coronavirus pandemic overall.

Dr. Anezi Uzendu shares his survivor story.

Many of us go to work every day hoping that our work means something to someone.  We give our all wanting our efforts to sufficiently measure up against the challenge.  But when, at one point in your career, you’re fighting for the health of 23 million patients, it takes a true passion for humanity to deliver what’s necessary for improving health outcomes.  Meet the relentless physician who never thought of giving up- Dr. Eduardo Sanchez, Chief Medical Officer for Prevention and Chief of the Center for Health Metrics and Evaluation, shares perspective changing stories from chapters of his career and personal life. Listen and be moved as he takes us on a journey that paints a very clear picture of what it means to truly care for your fellow man.

Courage and sacrifice are two very important factors in deciding to raise your hand and willingly go into the epicenter of the Coronavirus outbreak in one of the hardest hit cities in the country- she is the essence of both.  Dr. Comilla Sasson, Vice President for Science & Innovation, Emergency Cardiovascular Care, who just returned from volunteering in a NYC emergency room during Covid-19, reveals why she decided to drop everything and go!  Her passion was so strong that she couldn’t sit still.  She shares how that experience changed her life, what this meant for her family and what prepared her for this moment in time.
