From medical expert Leana Wen, MD, Lifelines is an insider's account of public health and its crucial role—from opioid addiction to global pandemic—and an inspiring story of her journey from struggling immigrant to being one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People.“Public health saved your life today—you just don’t know it,” is a phrase that Dr. Leana Wen likes to use. You don’t know it because good public health is invisible. It becomes visible only in its absence, when it is underfunded and ignored, a bitter truth laid bare as never before by the devastation of COVID-19.Leana Wen—emergency physician, former Baltimore health commissioner, CNN medical analyst, and Washington Post contributing columnist—has lived on the front lines of public health, leading the fight against the opioid epidemic, outbreaks of infectious disease, maternal and infant mortality, and COVID-19 disinformation. Here, in gripping detail, Wen lays bare the lifesaving work of public health and its innovative approach to social ills, treating gun violence as a contagious disease, for example, and racism as a threat to health.Wen also tells her own uniquely American story: an immigrant from China, she and her family received food stamps and were at times homeless despite her parents working multiple jobs. That child went on to attend college at thirteen, become a Rhodes scholar, and turn to public health as the way to make a difference in the country that had offered her such possibilities.Ultimately, she insists, it is public health that ensures citizens are not robbed of decades of life, and that where children live does not determine whether they live.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Lifelines is a truly unique and awe-inspiring novel that comes at an important time. Through a beautifully written narrative that explores a personal journey of love, loss, and growth, Dr. Wen describes her extraordinary path to becoming an emergency physician and public health advocate. Lifelines explores timeless themes, from a coming-of-age story and the development of an American identity to tackling the greatest public health crises of our times. What distinguishes Lifelines from other books is that Dr. Wen does not stop at describing the immense challenges that stand in the way of making progress in our society; as a testament to her leadership, she focuses on solutions and offers valuable perspectives for overcoming roadblocks and moving the needle forward. In this memoir, Dr. Wen also pays homage to the many mentors and ‘lifelines’ that supported her throughout her journey.Perhaps what I loved most about this book is that Dr. Wen lays out a clear call to action: She inspires the current generation of leaders and change agents to advocate for the underserved, and she motivates future generations to join the ever-important fight for health equity and justice.Finally, this book will inspire you. While this book puts a spotlight on public health, it is clearly not meant only for those within this field. Rathert, it is a call to all people — across professions and disciplines — to recognize and embrace the profound influence that public health has on our daily lives. As Dr. Wen gracefully depicts in her stories from clinical practice, Baltimore, and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, public health underlies the streets we walk on, the air we breathe, and the people who surround us. This book is the ultimate reminder of the invisible lifelines that sustain us everyday and the work that we must do to preserve those lifelines for future generations who will follow in our footsteps.
