EXPLORING THE BIGGER PICTURE

Dr. Rakesh Pai

*COVID-19 Episode - Part Two

Chief Population Health Officer - Metro Health | University of Michigan Health

COVID-19 is already present at scale in West Michigan. All of our hospital systems in the region are affected. This episode with Dr. Rakesh Pai is chilling as far as the current data and projections for us here in Michigan. This information should motivate us to take drastic measures to help stop the pandemic. It should also give us hope. But we all need to stay at home to make this work.

Dr. Pai graciously took time to share how Metro Health | University of Michigan Health continues to prepare and respond to the coming surge.

As a time stamp for this episode, it was recorded on Thursday, March 26. Our conversation was conducted as facts and new information were constantly evolving.

I'm very grateful to Dr. Pai for being so candid and presenting the medical and scientific realities in a way that is easy to understand and digest. Please share this episode. It might play a small part in keeping our community healthier.
