The Government’s Role in Healing Healthcare with Catharine Young
2Description
When Catharine Young, Ph.D., decided to become a scientist, she had no idea she would ever work for government agencies like the Department of Defense. But by working at such influential organizations, she learned about their power to solve some of healthcare’s biggest problems.
Young’s career path led her to the White House’s Cancer Moonshot initiative, where she helps advance the mission of decreasing cancer deaths by 50% over the next 25 years.
As Young notes in this episode, “[Cancer] is a disease that touches all of us. And when we think about mission-driven work, this to me really fulfills that. Because I know that the work that we do every day at the Biden Cancer Moonshot will have impact around the world in some capacity.”
In our fourth episode of the season, we talk with Catharine Young about the role of government in healing healthcare.
