Healthcare after all is an innately human business. Listen in as we unravel:
1. Financial realities in the post-pandemic era
2. Examining

3. Inoculating against the shiny object syndrome

Everyone wants to "fix" healthcare. But it's mired in complexity, is deeply personal, the economics don’t work, incentives are not aligned, and change is always hard given the embrace of status quo.
