Jack has been passionate about social justice and health equity since they began their nursing career working with marginalized populations. Working in both rural and urban settings, it was staggering how the social and geopolitical locations can contribute to health inequities. One of their passions is focusing on the ecological determinants of health, since a difference can be made in environmental health inequities.
