The Atrómitos Way
Health and social services are full of complex issues and obstacles that can’t help but get in the way. So, how do we solve them? Well, change agents worldwide are boldly striving to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible, affordable, and equitable for all—and we need to amplify their voices. Delving into the intricacies of healthcare and the social services network, Atrómitos hosts guests to discuss how they've navigated challenges, from workforce shortages to maternal care, mental health, homelessness, and affordable housing. The Atrómitos Way explores these challenges and what's being done—and can be done to overcome them.
