NOISE's Ashley Salem and Emily Chen-Newton sit down with two public health heavy-hitters to bring you an accurate update on everything from the vaccine boosters to self-care. Dr. Jasmine Marcelin shares the heaviness she's experienced as a Black female physician seeing the disproportionate impact on Black and Brown communities over the past year and a half. And Dr. Ali Khan, Dean of UNMC’s College of Public Health touches on the topic of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). He explains public health information is typically exempt from HIPAA, and so it should not be used as a reason to restrict the information publically available about rising case numbers in Nebraska; though it has been used in just this way by NE government officials including Governor Ricketts and the Department of Health and Human Services.
