Prognosis Ohio
Hosted by Columbus local and health policy professor Dan Skinner, Prognosis Ohio addresses all facets of health care, health policy, and health politics in the sometimes great state of Ohio. The podcast shines a light on a wide range of issues, from changing legislative developments; to stories of Ohioans interacting with their state’s healthcare system; to ongoing challenges in housing, food, transportation, and other systems that relate to health outcomes; to research, advocacy, and activism. Every other week Prognosis Ohio brings listeners an in-depth interview on pressing issues. Follow Prognosis Ohio on Twitter at @PrognosisOhio. Full show archive is at PrognosisOhio.com.
