In the new episode, Robin speaks to Dr. Julie Gerberding, chief patient officer and executive vice president for population health & sustainability at Merck, about how The Creative Coalition seized on the power of the arts to encourage citizens to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and build understanding about the dangers of comorbidities, such as obesity.
“It was an honor to be called upon by the medical community to do this,” Robin says in the episode. “We brought in the best writers, producers, directors to help us… We brought on people like you, Julie, from the medical community who could give us guidance… And, then when we produced the PSAs, we made sure that we were speaking to communities of hesitation… with messaging that made sense. And that’s our civic duty. As artists and as people in the entertainment industry, we have a platform that no one else has. We have to use this super power for the common good.”
