In beginning the Problem Pitch Project, I had no idea how my perspective on global/national public health would change. I had always known of the surface level information about national health that was commonly streamlined across news stations or found on Twitter. Much of this information talked about how the United States was known to provide better health services to individuals and have greater food security than other countries yet I was never aware of the disparities that were actually happening within the United States. After having the wonderful opportunity to gather more information from Dr. Seung-Yeon Lee, a professor of nutrition at the University of Cincinnati who also does work in public health in the Cincinnati area, it became clear there is more to the state of public health and healthcare in general than meets the eye. One of the most shocking things I learned of is the treatment of low income or Medicaid patients; I was convinced that all patients received fair and quality care no matter their place of origin or background. According to Dr. Lee, this stigma that is carried by patients coming from low-income backgrounds then stigmatizes the disease and thus impacts the quality of care delivered to the patient. Not only this, many low-income individuals are often viewed as incompetent by healthcare providers. This idea that healthcare providers base how they treat patients contingent upon financial background is something that I find extremely unacceptable and should not even be happening in practice today. Even more valuable information was provided by Dr. Lee, and gave a great insight to different health disparities occurring throughout the Cincinnati area; these included food insecurity and drug problems in downtown Cincinnati, along with the expensive price of downtown housing making it difficult for individuals to buy food. I truly did not realize how much I took for granted until many of these facts were given. The Problem Pitch Project was a great opportunity to explore an interest of mine and learn of how this topic impacted my group mates. Many of us agreed that there are so many problems facing groups of people every day that are not commonly talked about in the news. This was important to consider because if it is not being spread throughout the community then one could question how the problems facing these people will ever be solved. Not only this, it was a humbling experience to realize how fortunate many of the individuals attending the University of Cincinnati are, which I find is an idea that is easy to forget. I would like to continue to explore public health throughout the Cincinnati area and would like to begin changing the poor situations many individuals are currently facing.
