Episode Synopsis

COVID-19 Edition, Episode 8

Welcome to this COVID-19 special edition podcast brought to you by Kessler Foundation.

The novel coronavirus pandemic has shed new light on an old problem: poorer health outcomes in vulnerable and diverse communities, including the disability community. In this podcast, we chat with clinical psychologist Dr. Denise Fyffe and social epidemiologist Dr. Amanda Botticello about this phenomenon and get their thoughts on how to best tackle the issues of health disparities from COVID-19 and what policies might help us avoid this pattern in the future.
