The Healthy Edit
Welcome to the Healthy Edit! A podcast focused on — you guessed it — health and wellness, but from the perspective of HealthCorps, a national not-for-profit dedicated to teen wellness.
On this season of the Healthy Edit, you’ll be hearing directly from our staff, students, and other health advocates to discover the secret to what makes our wellness programming so impactful, inclusive, and sustainable and how you – just like our teens – can make health happen.
Since 2003, HealthCorps has worked in high-need schools with a mission to end health inequity by providing health and wellness resources to students, faculty, and families.

Does AI hold the key to closing the health equity gap?
In this episode of Healthy Chats, HealthCorps CEO Amy Braun welcomes Jack D. Hidary a successful serial entrepreneur and leader in AI and Quantum Technologies. Jack is currently the head of Sandbox, an Alphabet unit that focuses on AI and Quantum. Jack is the author of Quantum Computing: An Applied Approach, a leading textbook in the field.
Jack is also the catalyst behind HealthCorps’ Save the Students campaign that delivered thousands of “health saving” kits to students across the country. Each kit included a connected thermometer, masks and HealthCorps resources for the students and their families.
In September 2021, Jack will be among the honorees at HealthCorps’ annual benefit for his contributions to health and wellness.
It’s a fascinating conversation that explores the impact of AI and Quantum Computing on the future of healthcare, lessons learned from the pandemic and helping students reach their potential.
