In this episode of Long COVID MD, Dr. Zeest Khan highlights a healthcare system that effectively mitigated the pandemic and maintained community trust, while facing numerous structural obstacles. Should we follow this model of medicine more broadly? She interviews Dr. Noha Aboelata, Family Medicine physician and CEO of Roots Community Health, who shares insights on Root's holistic approach to healthcare, the importance of community trust, and the need for accessible and equitable health services. Roots played a tremendous role in the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization offered testing, recognized patterns of viral spread, and shared critical information with the public before, and sometimes in place of, government agencies. Roots' model of rebuilding community trust allowed them to respond quickly and effectively against the COVID-19 pandemic, and continues to serve the community well. The conversation highlights the role of community health in addressing systemic inequities and the significance of empowering patients to advocate for their own health.
