Emergency medicine physician and author Sampson Davis, MD was raised at the fifth of six children in Newark, NJ, one of the nation's poorest cities. He grew-up in cramped living quarters, surrounded by fragmented families, crime and drugs. He'll share his inspiring and determined journey toward becoming a board-certified emergency medicine physician, and his first-hand observations of how one's surroundings can complicate healthy life options that are further strained by an undersupply of health care providers and facilities. He'll discuss what can be done to draw more doctors and nurses to return to abandoned areas of America, and how we might overcome the economic and technical barriers that prevent access to care.
