Would you like an injection with that Happy Meal?
Future Health Systems
BY DANIELA LEWY, JOHNS HOPKINS SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
I started my career in education, transitioned to corporate training, and then navigated into public health. But with each professional shift – not much seems particularly different. Universal Education and Universal Healthcare; supply/demand principles at Johns Hopkins Hospital and supply/demand principles at Mars Corporation; and increased salaries for teachers, nurses, or accountants doesn't always translate to better test scores, fewer infections, or less bankruptcy.
So when yesterday’s session on social franchising began with a reference to McDonalds – I sat up straight. I like the intersection of seemingly disparate fields.
