In this episode of Speaking Our Minds, we introduce and unpack the meaning behind our new slogan, “Where Health is More Than Healthcare.” Savitri Horrigan and Iraida Muñoz share the vision behind this message—emphasizing that true health extends beyond clinical care to include community, environment, education, and access.

The conversation also highlights the impact of the 2026 Mayors Task Force on Substance Abuse Legislative Breakfast, reflecting on the importance of collaboration between community leaders, policymakers, and public health professionals in addressing substance use challenges.

Savitri and Iraida further explore Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and how early exposure to trauma can shape long-term health outcomes for youth. They thoughtfully navigate complex and sensitive topics, including systemic racism within the healthcare system, while emphasizing the importance of approaching these realities through a trauma-informed lens.

This episode goes deeper than surface-level conversation—opening the door to critical dialogue, awareness, and understanding. And this is only the beginning… there’s much more to uncover.
