A healthcare system rooted in love is one where no one has to worry about access to care, and families thrive instead of just survive. Recently we talked to Somava Saha, MD MS, a physician, global health advocate, and tireless leader in the movement for health equity and wellbeing. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Saha’s career has been dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and communities, both in the U.S. and globally. Dr. Saha beautifully reminds us that true health is measured not by numbers within hospital walls, but by the joy of regained birthdays and bedtime stories shared between generations. This vision of a healthy future is something to wish for, but also to work for. Wellbeing should be the norm, not the exception. Stay tuned for the entire conversation and Dr. Saha’s inspiring story in the next edition of our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/d-a9BfRc #HealthEquity #HealthcareForAll #Wellbeing #LoveInHealthcare #HealthcareTransformation
