July 24, 2025 | Podcast , Health

What truly determines a child’s health? In this episode of Raising Justice, host Juliet Summers is joined by Dr. Ali Khan, Dean of the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s College of Public Health, to explore the powerful role that policy plays in shaping community health.

Together, they unpack the social and political determinants of health—from housing and education to legislation and systems of power—and examine how these forces impact children and families across Nebraska.
