Summary
In this episode of Our Womanity Dr. Rachel Pope [https://ourwomanity.com/] sits down with Dr. Lily Gutnik [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lily-gutnik-89120665/], a breast surgeon and global health advocate dedicated to advancing equitable healthcare for women. Dr. Gutnik's journey is deeply rooted in her experience as a first-generation immigrant. After her parents fled religious persecution in the former USSR, she grew up in the United States, where she developed a profound appreciation for education and hard work. Her global perspective—shaped by extensive travel, multilingual abilities, and cross-cultural training—has reinforced her commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare. A firm believer in innovative, cross-disciplinary collaborations, Dr. Gutnik focuses on implementing high-quality, cost-effective breast cancer care, particularly for vulnerable women. She champions a convergence science approach to address the complex root causes of health disparities, using implementation science to develop interventions that drive health equity. For Dr. Gutnik, becoming a breast surgeon is more than a profession—it is a mission to empower women through health. Tune in as she shares her insights on building sustainable healthcare solutions, tackling systemic inequities, and the future of breast cancer care.
