In our second episode of Transformation Talks, Charisse Pope interviews Torney Smith, Administrator of the Spokane Regional Health District. The two discuss how Medicaid Transformation allows us to address upstream causes of medical need, value-based care in a capitalist society, and the role privilege plays in health equity.

Give it a listen and let us know in the comments what you think or what followup questions you have. And stay tuned for new podcasts coming your way!
