In this episode, Kandis Draw, Nina Lopez, and Dr. Augustina Mensa-Kwao challenge the textbook version of public health. From end-of-life planning in Chicago to community-led research in Hawai\u2018i and youth mental health in Baltimore, they show what happens when we stop leading with programs and start leading with listening. This conversation is about trust before interventions, dignity alongside outcomes, and recognizing that communities have always practiced public health even when systems failed to acknowledge it. If you\u2019re ready to rethink what public health really looks like, this episode is for you. &amp;nbsp; Resources \u25b6\ufe0f&amp;nbsp;Join the PHEC Podcast Community \u25b6\ufe0f&amp;nbsp;Visit the PHEC Podcast Show Notes \u25b6\ufe0f&amp;nbsp;DrCHHuntley, Public Health &amp;amp; Epidemiology Consulting ","author_name":"Public Health Epidemiology Conversations","author_url":"https:\/\/www.drchhuntley.com\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40205350\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/40205350"}
