This is first episode of our podcast, You Matter: Voices in Health Care, features our very own Secretary of Health, Dennis Worsham. He talks about his long career, from working on HIV in the 1980s to leading statewide health efforts now. Dennis speaks honestly about the emotional toll of public health work and what it feels like to keep going “when fear is in the system.”
He shares the line “I had one more fight left in me,” which shows his hope and determination. His story is a reminder that resilience doesn’t come from one person alone. It grows when teams support each other and when leaders and systems care about the people doing the work.
