Turning and earning is pointless if you’re driving yourself to an early grave. Highway to Health is an indepth discussion of wellness as a journey not a destination. Leading physicians and healthcare providers from prestigous institutions such as The Mayo Clinic and The Ohio School of Dentistry join Road Gang Radio to make sure a first class living is complimented by quality of life.
In this edition of Highway to Health on Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes renowned cardiologist and public health expert Dr. Peter Kowey for an urgent and eye-opening discussion about the growing crisis of healthcare deserts in America.
Dr. Kowey—Professor of Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology at Thomas Jefferson University and former Chief of Cardiovascular Diseases at the Lankenau Heart Institute—shares insights from his new book, Failure to Treat: How a Broken Healthcare System Puts Patients and Practitioners at Risk.
Through real-world patient stories, Dr. Kowey exposes how systemic gaps in healthcare access are deepening across the country, leading to mental-health strain, family hardship, and economic instability—especially in rural and underserved communities. He also discusses the potential impact of proposed federal budget cuts on Medicaid, Medicare, and Veterans Affairs hospitals, and what these changes could mean for everyday Americans.
