What is One in Five - Providence Population Health ?

At least One in Five people have a disability. Health disparities for people with disabilities have a long and troubling history. In this podcast, we talk about common health disparities for people with disability, what needs to change to make healthcare more welcoming, and we explore how embracing disability strengthens our communities.

In the Health Equity in Action: Community Health Workers five-part podcast series, we examine structural deficits in healthcare for minority populations and the ways Providence is working to close those gaps and make healthcare more equitable for all.
