Fawcett Jr., MD, Vice President, Healthier Communities, Spectrum Health.  Dr. Fawcett asks and attempts to answer how we can create equitable outcomes among disadvantaged populations in the context of an active pandemic.  He describes strategies to reduce COVID-19 infections, explains how to proactively reach out to patients who are at greatest risk outside of a medical model, and discusses the impact of a value-based world on health inequities and disparities.  This teleconference is part of the Value-Based Care Collaborative.
