The term last mile comes from telecommunications, utilities, transportation, and package delivery services.

As vaccines roll out, we think of vial to arm as the last mile.

About the Show
Welcome to Health Hats, learning on the journey toward best health. I am Danny van Leeuwen, a two-legged, old, cisgender, white man with privilege, living in a food oasis, who can afford many hats and knows a little about a lot of healthcare and a lot about very little. Most people wear hats one at a time, but I wear them all at once. We will listen and learn about what it takes to adjust to life's realities in the awesome circus of healthcare. Let's make some sense of all this.

The last mile of breakfast
Imagine fixing breakfast for your kids and leaving the meal on the counter? It needs to get to the table, the high chair, or the couch and then into the kid's mouth. Earning money, planning meals, shopping, preparing, cooking, and fixing aren't enough. They're all necessary but not sufficient. Breakfast isn't breakfast until it's eaten.
