Healthcare Uprising
This interview-based podcast focuses on how innovation in healthcare is showing up for the benefit of consumers, regular people, anyone who is seeking a way to be healthier and better manage their health. Finally healthcare is being designed "for the people".
We seek to shine a light on the movers, shakers, and innovators across the industry. This includes everything from the tech and digital-based startups providing care and services, to the academics and the medical researchers changing healthcare from inside our educational institutions, to the clinical, biomedical, and medical equipment organizations bringing innovation to our homes, phones and doctor’s offices. It gives a platform to those who are helping to change how healthcare is accessed, delivered, and experienced, for so many Americans.
And equally as important, to truly add the human side of healthcare to this podcast, we cover alot of human stories about real people and their experiences on their healthcare journeys.
Jeremy and Heather will cover some hot healthcare topics as they arise at the top of some of our pre-recorded episodes. Have an interesting topic or new consumer focused healthcare product, program or service you think we should cover? Let us know.
What's especially unique about this podcast is that you have a healthcare industry veteran coupled with your average Joe American to bring levity, authenticity, and a "real" human perspective to these conversations so they don't get too clinical, to in the weeds or complex that you have no idea what we're talking about.
