Dr. Jeffrey Brenner, was named one of the prestigious MacArthur Foundation ‘genius grant’ winners today. He organized a system in Camden, the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers, that tracks down the poorest patients who need care. He chats with Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio about the news and his project.
