The Digest for Health Transformers & Changemakers
This week we have a video lineup from the inaugural Civic Health Forum that is a study in what it actually takes to reorganize a system around the people it's meant to serve. Sara Holoubek opened the event with a challenge: America is becoming an older nation, and our health infrastructure hasn't caught up. The three innovator showcases below show what catching up looks like in practice.
Different entry points, one shared idea: building the health system we'll actually need for the society we're becoming.
