How can lawmakers rebuild public trust in health, and make prevention a shared priority?

In this episode of The Health Advocates, Steven Newmark speaks with Texas State Representative Nicole Collier, a leading voice on health equity, women’s health, and preventive care. From her work on the Select Committee on Preventable Diseases and Women’s Health to her advocacy for fair access to vaccines, Rep. Collier brings a clear message: prevention isn’t political, it’s essential.

Together, Steven and Rep. Collier explore:
- How preventive care, including vaccines, strengthens community trust
- Why health equity starts with access to reliable information and local leadership
- How Texas can serve as a model for bipartisan public-health collaboration
