Monique Fuchs, Associate Vice President, Innovation + Entrepreneurship, Wentworth
In the FutureLab Talk #12 Ami Bowen [Harbor Health] discusses with Monique Fuchs [Wentworth] the accessibility of community healthcare, social determinants of health, and the barriers preventing individuals from receiving proper and consistent healthcare. While COVID-19 has only highlighted disparities, Ami shares how telehealth is an alternative with limitations and how the future of care could look like on a local level. Harbor Health Community Health Center was the first of its kind in the nation considering a more holistic approach to health care and creating greater accessibility to health care services while giving greater consideration to barriers impacting overall well-being such as nutrition, transportation, affordable housing.
