Expertise: Health care disparities, access to health care
Bio:
 |
| Katherine Jahnige Mathews |
An estimated 72 million Americans are either uninsured or underinsured, making their access to health care precarious. Additionally, wide disparities in heath care are pervasive. Mathews works on the frontlines to provide healthcare to uninsured and underinsured patients. She has developed community-based outreach programs to improve access and the quality of cancer care for underserved patients, including minorities, rural and low-income and immigrant populations. Mathews, who has a background in public health, theology and international work, says the next administration must make healthcare access for all Americans a top priority.
