Serving Those Who Need It Most | Care In Motion: On The Road – Episode 2

What happens when getting to a doctor isn’t as simple as making an appointment? For some, it’s a forty-minute drive without a car. For others, it’s twelve-hour workdays in the fields, a language barrier, or a healthcare system that’s difficult to navigate. In Episode 2 of Care In Motion: On The Road, we travel from California’s Coachella Valley to rural South Carolina and neighborhoods in Columbus, Ohio, to explore what access to healthcare really means. Alejandro Espinoza, Kimberleigh Harris, Melisa Sims Hammett, and Cornisha Waller share stories from the communities they serve — from agricultural workers and people experiencing homelessness to students receiving care right at school. Their stories reveal that access isn’t simply about whether healthcare exists. It’s about whether people can actually reach it, trust it, and receive the care they need when they need it. And sometimes, closing that distance means healthcare has to do the traveling. Because if access depends on where you live… is it really access?
