A new podcast episode featuring Professor George Rust, M.D., examines the evolving landscape of public health in Florida and across the United States, with a focus on community-based care.

In the episode, Rust discusses current public health concerns, including a measles outbreak in Florida and emphasizes the need to return to a more community-focused model of care. He highlights the importance of addressing barriers faced by underserved populations and strengthening local health systems.

Rust also shares insights from his new book, “Healing in a Changing America: Doctoring in a Nation of Needless Suffering,” which explores systemic challenges in the U.S. health care system and calls for more patient-centered approaches.
