In this episode of The Healthy Project Podcast, host Corey Dion Lewis dives deep into the concept of healthcare access and how it drives health disparities. What does it mean to have access to healthcare truly, and how do barriers like cost, location, and cultural competency create massive gaps in health outcomes? We explore the five dimensions of healthcare access—availability, accessibility, affordability, acceptability, and quality—and discuss how they intertwine to shape the lives of marginalized communities. With real-world examples, current data, and actionable solutions, this episode challenges healthcare professionals to reimagine what access to care should look like and how they can make it happen.
