Thank you @just_shelter for this essential read: nyti.ms/2Obm9sW "We need a new language for talking about poverty. 'Nobody who works should be poor,' we say. That’s not good enough. Nobody in America should be poor, period."
30% of all patients skip doctor's appointments due to a lack of transportation. This hits under-served communities the hardest, and @Acumen has invested in @KaizenHealth1 to help close this gap nyti.ms/2OoBwOA
