Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PHEC 481: Health Beyond Hospital Walls, With Monty Robertson, MHA

Q: Can you tell me a little bit more about these organizations that are part of the Alliance?

Robertson explains that the Alliance grew from a hospital-led effort to rethink health care into a coalition of 55 organizations, including hospitals, state agencies, nonprofits, insurers, businesses and partners in education and housing.

PHEC 481: Health Beyond Hospital Walls, With Monty Robertson, MHA

Q: Is there a particular population or public health issue that you're really passionate about?

Robertson says mental and behavioral health have long mattered to him because they affect people's ability to live productive lives. He sees mental and physical health, along with factors such as housing and transportation, as interconnected.

PHEC 480: Making Public Health Make Sense

Q: How are you explaining public health to your friends and family, the people close to you?

The students use familiar analogies and examples: public health is the prevention that keeps people from needing a doctor, routine maintenance for cars, a shared ball pit shaped by common conditions, and a spider web that must be maintained before strands break. They connect these explanations to their own areas of work and argue that making public health understandable can support advocacy and visibility.

PHEC 479: Care After Dark, With Jeff Hom, MD

Q: What would you say is the biggest challenge that you face right now? And kind of how were you addressing that?

Hom says failed policy efforts taught him that evidence needs to be paired with coalition building, a favorable window for action, and political will. He is working to shift stigma through the Living Proof campaign and research on how images and news photographs shape perceptions of people who use drugs or are in recovery.

PHEC 479: Care After Dark, With Jeff Hom, MD

Q: Is there a particular population or public health cause or issue that you're most passionate about?

Hom says much of his career has focused on substance use and the overdose crisis. He sees overdose deaths as preventable and works to address stigma that limits the impact of public health interventions.
