Author: Lenora Chase

Dr. Lenora Chase writes at the intersection of life, death, and the systems that choose between them. A physician-turned-advocate with years in both emergency rooms and health policy trenches, Lenora now diagnoses institutions instead of patients. Her writing exposes the deep inequities hidden in data, legislation, and the long corridors of public health failure. With the soul of a healer and the precision of a policy hawk, Chase’s essays untangle the human costs behind the acronyms: FDA, WHO, ACA, IMF. Her series “Vitals and Violence” became essential reading in the pandemic's wake, revealing the global architecture of medical neglect. She writes not just to inform—but to force accountability from a system that too often forgets who it serves. Categories: Health, Policy, Environment, Justice, Economy
