We talk with kidney transplant surgeon Dr. Robert Montgomery about his own experience of receiving a heart transplant three years ago. This led him to a new understanding of the challenging “new normal” for patients after a transplant, which involves multiple medications and many new responsibilities. We also discuss the evolving impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on an estimated 10 million people with compromised immune systems. Dr. Montgomery talks about his health equity leadership role at NYC Langone, where intentional policies are helping to foster diverse hiring and retention of health workers from underrepresented groups. He also shares some of the ways that the institute is improving health outcomes in transplantation, through research into disparities and understanding of their root causes, particularly social determinants. With podcast host Rolf Taylor.
