Isaac Grody-Patinkin works at the intersection of health equity and restorative practices in rural Colorado. He comes to this work through a lifelong passion for bringing together unlikely characters in the service of healing justice, and bridging divides with the tools of proximity and curiosity. Grody-Patinkin uses the lens of health equity and his role in a rural public health department to melt resistance around difficult conversations about undoing racism and other systems of inequality. He holds a bachelor’s in community education from Goddard College and is pursuing his master’s in conjunction with this leadership fellowship. He lives at 9,000 feet with his pup Osa.
