	Description:		Dr. Leana Wen, recognized in November 2017 as one of Governing's Public Officials of the Year (POY), says growing up in a low-income, heavily immigrant neighborhood taught her how crucial physical health is to the overall well-being of any community. As a child, she watched a neighbor die during an asthma attack because she didn’t have an inhaler and her undocumented family was afraid to call 911. “The opposite of poverty,” Wen likes to say, “really is health.” Her selection as a POY came months after her first appearance on the podcast. Enough had happened in her life and career in the interim that we thought another listen - plus a critical update - was in order.
