Welcome to Public Health On Call, a podcast from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health,

where we bring evidence, experience, and perspective to make sense of today's leading health challenges.

If you have questions or ideas for us, please send an email to public health question at jhhhu.edu.

That's public health question at jhhu.edu for future podcast episodes.

This is Lindsay Smith-Rogers. Today, a podcast about a healing city.

Recently, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave its

Culture of Health Prize to Baltimore for its work to counter the impact of trauma. Zeeke Cohen,

a member of the Baltimore City Council, and Reverend Kim LaGree, the executive director of Healing

City Baltimore, are leaders of this work. They speak to Dr. Josh

Sharfstein about how this movement started, how it's changing practices across the city, and where

it's headed. Let's listen. Councilman Zeke Cohen, Reverend Kim Legree, thank you so much for

joining me on public health on call to talk about Healing

City, Baltimore, which just won the Culture of Health Prize from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

So I want to start with you, Councilman Cohen.

First, tell me about the culture of health prize, and then we'll turn to Healing City, Baltimore.

Dr. Josh, it's an honor to be back with you.

The Robert Wood Johnson Culture of Health Prize recognizes innovation in the public health space.

And we were proud that Baltimore was named one of this year's winners.

I think 240 cities applied.

And due to the work we've been doing around

trauma, we won.

So tell me about that work.
