Dr. Ricky Bluthenthal - Barriers in Access to Healthcare and Harm Reduction Services

Healthcare in the United States can be exceptional—that is, if you have enough resources. What if our systems worked to support people with fewer resources to get the help they needed? Dr. Ricky Bluthenthal discusses systemic barriers impeding access to harm reduction and just how much policy influences health outcomes. Dr. Ricky Bluthenthal is a Distinguished Professor and Chair of of the Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, and the Flora L. Thornton Chair in Preventive Medicine, at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Find out more about his work here.
