Podcast Description

Health and the delivery of healthcare are topics of importance around the globe. There is little debate that much of the world, and much of the United States, feels that their healthcare system needs to improve and perhaps even to change dramatically. The US healthcare system is our focus, and it has the dubious distinction of generating worse outcomes at greater cost than any peer nation. Why is that? What can we do about it? Why have we all been talking about this for what seems like forever and not made things better yet? If you share our passion for digging into these topics, gathering ideas and insights into how to change the system, and maybe want to stretch your world view a bit, you have come to the right place.

We have each been fortunate to have the time and space to talk with each other and to learn and think hard about our experiences and insights into the world of healthcare. We created this site and this podcast series to share our reflective conversations with smart, experienced and insightful healthcare leaders who are passionate about making the world a better place, to amplify their important voices, and to share what we have learned about the issues and ideas that these interviews led us to explore more deeply. For each episode, we have also created a scrollstory to share additional background and context for a selection of the topics discussed during the interviews between Judson and our guests. Working to put together all of this content has been hugely energizing and enlightening for us, and we are eager to share what we have learned with you.

The world definitely does not have a shortage of healthcare related information available on the internet. Between all of the podcasts and websites and news articles and magazines and corporate websites and government websites and published medical research, we often seem to be drowning in healthcare related information. And it is not always easy to tell who is creating and curating that content, or how much of the information provided is really designed to generate clicks and views and to sell you things. You will find no ads or corporate sponsors or paywalls on this site, no attempt to monetize your interest. But we do have to keep the lights on, so if you find our efforts here interesting and maybe even useful, please consider making a donation of whatever size seems appropriate to you.
