Episode Description

In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, nurse leader Elizabeth Cohn, emergency physician Alister Martin, and health policy strategist Aliya Bhatia make the case that civic engagement, especially voting, is a public health intervention.  

From the policies that shape our health to the trust we place in the system, they reveal how nurses and healthcare providers can play a powerful role in strengthening both democracy and well-being, starting with a single question: Are you registered to vote?  

This small ask opens the door to agency, trust, and healthier communities, and reminds us that caring for the public includes empowering their voice.
