Politics of Available and Affordable Childcare with Cassie Choi Pair Team

Digital Politics with Karen Jagoda

Cassie Choi, Co-Founder of the Pair Team, is focused on the challenge of finding available and affordable childcare for high-risk and high-need populations and the actions that can be taken to improve the health of families. As a White House Clinician Innovators Roundtable member, Cassie is looking at the health ecosystem and how to drive civic engagement from all stakeholders to help advance healthcare needs. As a nurse and entrepreneur, Cassis is advocating for childcare with the Biden administration to stimulate innovation at the state and local levels to address childcare needs and better understand how that affects the social determinants of the health of their populations.

We talk about:

• Movers of health equity and which communities are most affected by the lack of childcare resources
• Raising awareness about unmet childcare and eldercare needs
• National, state, and local activities to address childcare and whole-person healthcare of at-risk communities
• Connection between social determinants of health and available childcare
• Reducing obstacles to getting funding for local organizations to provide healthcare and childcare
