Before the Cheering Started with Budd Mishkin Podcast

A poster changed Dr. Irwin Redlener’s life. Sure, he likely would have been a doctor who put good into the world. But in the early 1970s, a poster he saw asking young doctors to go to a poor, rural county in Arkansas lit a fire inside him and set him on a path with no looking back, working as a team with his wife Karen, a health professional with an expertise in child health and development. When kids in Arkansas needed help, they were there.  When kids in New York City needed help, they were there. When Syrian refugee kids needed help, they were there. And now, when Ukrainian kids need help, they are there. Fifty-plus years of the good fight and still ready to get on a plane and go, trying to make this world a better place for kids in unstable, unhealthy, and unjust situations.
