This episode, I was invited to speak with Public Health Culture host Leonora Okwara, MPH to discuss the following:

• How COVID-19 is affecting children and families.
• How COVID-19 is exposing and bringing to light the already deep health inequalities in our communities.
• How routine well child visits are more important than ever.
• The questions surrounding how to keep kids and families safe and functioning during this pandemic.
• The effects of mis-information and how confusing this can be for families.
• Why the re-opening of schools is such a hard decision.
• How public health is something that touches all of our lives.
• The importance of health literacy and making sure we are using language that parents and children can understand.
• Her biggest frustrations with our current system. 

Action Steps/Resources:

• Be informed on what to do to be prepared.
