An Inside Look at Public Health with Dr. Angelica Hardee

As the Vice President of Health Strategy at the American Heart Association and a public health professional, Dr. Angelica Hardee (aka Dr. JB) is focused on addressing the top health priorities of the Greater Cincinnati/NKY region by leading work related to hypertension, e-cigarette/tobacco use, and healthy food access. More specifically, she engages with community organizations and neighborhood coalitions to identify their health & wellness priorities. As a friend of fifteen years and one of the most dedicated people I know to create equitable wellness for all, I always have fun catching up with her. What I love about this conversation is that we touch on many different facets of public health that we don’t talk about within the larger wellness space and how it impacts our communities. This episode is an invitation to care for your community in a deeper way while understanding the systemic issues we continue to face domestically.  We also talk about: A fun memory from high school How the global pandemic impacted the public health space The interconnectedness of government systems and health How we can make an impact on the health of our communities One of the biggest health issues that we’re facing with the youth A behind the scenes look at wellness public policies Connect with us after the show at https://rainemediaco.com (https://rainemediaco.com) Resources Connect with me for daily inspiration and laughs on IG: @holaimkayla Order my book Things I Could Never Thank You For for paperback & Kindle https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578923017?
