Скачать или смотреть MU S1E5 Facts Tell, Stories Sell The New Advocacy In Healthcare

In this episode of Mic’d Up with Ryann Hill, Ryann is joined by Christina Epperson of the National Medical Association and Nina DeJonghe of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine for a candid conversation on how advocacy in healthcare is evolving in real time.

As Congress and the administration continue to move away from evidence driven policymaking, advocates are being forced to rethink how they engage. Data still matters, but stories are increasingly what break through. Together, Ryann, Christina, and Nina unpack what it means to advocate in a climate where misinformation, workforce strain, funding instability, and political gridlock are shaping outcomes for physicians and patients alike.

This episode explores:

Why facts alone are no longer enough to move policy

How physician stories influence lawmakers across party lines

The risks of policymaking without meaningful clinician input

What is at stake for the healthcare workforce, from medical education to burnout

Why advocacy requires strategy, persistence, and knowing your audience

The policy shifts that could make the biggest difference for access and care delivery right now

This is a must listen for advocates, clinicians, policymakers, and anyone navigating healthcare policy in an increasingly complex environment.
