Pediatrician who exposed the Flint water crisis, now founding director of Rx Kids (launched in Flint, January 2024) — the first US community-wide prenatal and infant cash prescription: universal and unconditional ($1,500 in pregnancy + $500/month in infancy, no means test), administered with GiveDirectly. By 2026 it reaches 60+ Michigan communities and 23,000+ births a year, with Detroit live for 2026 newborns and Ohio expansion underway — unconditional cash built into a working, universal civic institution.
