Review:
For years, I have been practicing pediatrics in neighborhood clinics which primarily serve low-income families. But it was not until I had my own aha! moment at a Bridges Out of Poverty Workshop, that I began to better understand poverty and what my patients were up against. So many missing pieces of the poverty puzzle came together in my mind. Besides adjusting some of my own practices when caring for families in poverty, now I am a much stronger advocate for change in our policies and procedures in delivering healthcare to those in poverty. --Jane Goleman, M.D.Associate Professor of Pediatrics, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, Nationwide Children's Hospital
