Interview- 2/24/17
Joe and Alex sat down with Geoff Zimpelman to discuss the current transportation problems and solutions that exist for the Saint Joseph Health Systems group. As manager of population health and multi-cultural access at Saint Joseph Health Systems, Geoff has unique knowledge regarding the standing problem. Over the past few years, Geoff has worked with many community centered organizations to find sustainable solutions that would allow all people to have access to transportation, especially when it comes to making doctor appointments and other medical visits. The current transportation problem has various layers including lack of knowledge, low funding, and overall inefficient services. It seems that people working in this space have a few ideas that could work, but they are “waiting” for something big to happen that will allow their ideas (solutions) to come into fruition. Attached is the Ethnographic Summary that will go into more detail regarding our interview with Geoff.
