Health Care Providers and the Path of Healing During Times of Pain, Continued Racial Unrest, and Pandemic

On this show, we find out how Native health care providers are
expressing their values through their work during the Covid-19
pandemic Samantha Nelson, a Health Unit Coordinator in Monticello
who is working on a team conducting COVID-19 testing, joins Leah
for the conversation. MN Native News reporter Melissa Townsend goes
in-depth with Dr. Mary Owen about her work with underrepresented
medical students, and how inequities are built into systems of
healthcare and beyond. Dr. Mary Owen is a physician with the Fond
du Lac tribe and is also Director of Indian and Minority Health at
the University of Minnesota in Duluth. And, our communities came
together at the very intersection of George Floyd’s death, with the
healing medicine of the jingle dress. Miiskogihmiiwan
Poupart-Chapman shares why she was dancing. Hosted by Leah Lemm
