Paul Kaplan talks about his biog­ra­phy, Lil­lian Wald: America’s Social and Health­care Reformer. Wald was one of the most influ­en­tial but least known peo­ple of the ear­ly 20th cen­tu­ry. She found­ed the Vis­it­ing Nurse Ser­vice, but real­ized that to real­ly tack­le pover­ty, the con­di­tions immi­grants and their kids lived in need­ed to change. In treat­ing the whole per­son, Wald changed the whole notion of social ser­vice for the poor.

Then, health and sci­ence jour­nal­ist Susan Bohan talks about her book, Twen­ty Years of Life: Why the Poor Die Ear­li­er and How to Chal­lenge Inequity. It’s about how your zip code deter­mines your health.
