About this episode

The episode features a discussion with healthcare professionals in state government about their roles and health priorities.

We love taking the show on the road, and today we’re coming to you from the Statehouse in downtown Columbus! We're joined by two healthcare professionals who also happen to serve in state government: Representative Anita Somani and Senator Beth Liston! We ask them how they balance their roles and what their health priorities are as legislators. And we also talk about some of our favorite places in Franklin County, including restaurants! Are we fans of Jeni's or Graeter's?
