Public Health Is Public Wealth: Dr. Michelle Williams on Why Prevention Pays

What if the systems that keep people alive, healthy, and productive were valued the same way elite organizations value performance?
In this episode, Solomon Wilcots speaks with Dr. Michelle Williams, professor of epidemiology and population health at Stanford University School of Medicine, former dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and author of The Cure for Everything. She explains how the often-invisible systems of public health shape daily life, from clean air and safe water to maternal health and prevention, and why public health should be seen not only as a moral imperative, but as an economic one.
This conversation examines what happens when public health systems are built well, when they are neglected, and why prevention should be understood not as an afterthought, but as an investment in resilience and long-term prosperity.
