Episode description
Since its onset, COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted nursing home residents, primarily because they live with the types of medical conditions that put them at risk of severe complications. But there are other important reasons that the nursing home sector remains vulnerable to health crises.
In this episode, host Robert Espinoza speaks with David Grabowski, a professor at the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School. They touch on the history of nursing homes, what COVID-19 has revealed about this sector, and how it should move forward from this crisis.
This podcast is produced by Robert Espinoza in partnership with Modry Media.
