Welcome to Relocalizing Health. In this episode, Dave Chase explores the powerful connection between neighborhood cohesion and health with guest Seth Kaplan, author of Fragile Neighborhoods. Over recent decades, American communities have suffered from declining local relationships, and with no meaningful incentive to make neighborhoods better, both public and private institutions have unintentionally worked in silos, often leaving health outcomes and the social fabric itself worse off.
But there's a movement underway. Across the globe, from Singapore to the Netherlands, new models of healthcare have emerged, focused on empowering residents and rebuilding care around neighborhoods rather than institutions. Drawing on case studies and lessons from around the world, Seth Kaplan and Dave Chase discuss how shifting our mindset, restructuring incentives, and revitalizing neighborhood governance could radically improve health, reduce costs, and revive a sense of belonging.
Join us as we explore what happens when the neighborhood, not just the individual, becomes the patient, and how each of us can spark change, starting right where we live.
