The Atrómitos Way
The U.S. healthcare system is full of complex issues and obstacles that just 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, Liz Church of Atrómitos talks with guests around the world to talk about the good work they are doing, from workforce shortages, 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. New episodes come out on Thursdays at 7 am EST.

It's Pride Month, a time in June for the LGBTQ+ community in the United States to celebrate their identities, embrace visibility, and advocate for progress. Today, Liz speaks with Miss Jai Smith, MPH, an advocate for health equity, about gender diversity, historical healthcare barriers for trans and non-binary individuals, and the impact of social stigma and discrimination. They will also discuss legislative impacts and innovative care models. Since 2011, Miss Jai has worked to enhance services for gender-expansive communities and founded Ask Miss Jai in 2022 to train and support healthcare professionals.
