Rebecca Onie formula preguntas audaces: 
E se as salas de espera fosen un lugar en que mellorar todos os días o noso sistema de saúde? 
E se os médicos puidesen receitar comida, casa ou calefacción no inverno?
En TEDMED Rebecca presenta Health Leads, unha organización que fai exactamente iso, e faino construíndo un equipo de voluntarios como unha elite, dedicados como un equipo deportivo universitario.

E se o noso sistema sanitario nos mantivese sans?

Healthcare often waits until families are in crisis, missing the chance to prevent illness by addressing social needs early. In one clinic, only two social workers serve 24,000 pediatric patients, and doctors lament not knowing where to send hungry or housing-insecure families. By empowering doctors to prescribe essentials like food and heat, and enlisting thousands of trained college students to connect patients with resources, a new vision of proactive, holistic care comes to life. This model challenges the system to prioritize keeping people healthy rather than just treating disease.
