In this heartfelt episode, host Dr. Mary Jane Eisenhauer talks with Mark Latta, founder of City Rising, about fatherhood, early childhood development, and the impact of community-led public health.
Mark reflects on becoming a dad to his daughter and how those early parenting experiences led him to focus on maternal and infant health—especially in underserved areas. The episode explores how systemic and political forces—like zip codes and housing instability—affect families and why lasting change must come from within the community.
Together, they imagine a world where every child is supported and every parent has what they need to thrive.
