What the experts said
The family experienced white flight in St. Alban's Queens—white families leaving as minorities moved in—and within five years became the only Hispanic family, then the neighborhood became all black.
The business of healthcare providers is not just providing healthcare or doing operations, but improving the health and well-being of individuals and populations.
Despite the United States spending more than 50% of global healthcare dollars, it ranks at the bottom of OECD countries in health outcomes including premature births, infant mortality, and longevity.
Healthcare providers should not simply do procedures and make money, but should continue work outside hospital walls to improve population health, following the example of Dr. Koop.
Dr. Vic Garcia is a pediatric surgeon at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and an expert on health disparities affecting pediatric surgical patients.
Garcia has partnered with Toyota on child car seat safety programs and works with Cincinnati Police Department on injury prevention.
Garcia grew up in Harlem projects at 2190 Madison Avenue before gentrification, in a highly segregated neighborhood with disinvestment, drugs, gangs, and murders.
Garcia's father was a lieutenant in the NYPD and the highest-ranking Puerto Rican in the department at that time.
Garcia attended West Point because it was the only place his father could afford, as they paid students to attend, and he had no initial aspirations of becoming a military officer.
West Point and training at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were transformative experiences that taught Garcia he could exceed his perceived mental and physical limitations.
In 1968, Garcia was one of five blacks in a West Point class of 1013 and led a battalion of cadets.
Dr. C. Everett Koop was an extraordinary man with courage of his convictions and a technical genius who helped Garcia understand the responsibility to look at children's health and well-being beyond the operating room.
Dr. Koop took on big tobacco and during the AIDS epidemic pushed for early safe sex education in schools and proper condom use.
