Rebecca Onie postavlja smiona pitanja: Što bi bilo da su čekaonice mjesta za poboljšanje svakodenevne zdravstvene skrbi? Što kad  bi  liječnici mogli propisati hranu, smještaj i toplinu u zimi? Na TEDMED-u ona opisuje Health Leads, organizaciju koja radi upravo to – i to izgrađujući bazu volontera jednako elitnih i posvećenih kao sveučilišna sportska momčad. 

Rebecca Onie: Što kad bi nas naš zdravstveni sustav održavao zdravima?

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.
