Healthcare Uprising
This interview-based podcast shares stories and perspectives from TWO sides of the healthcare universe to tell a story: First, we seek to shine a light on the movers, shakers, and innovators across the healthcare industry. This includes everything from the tech and digital-based startups providing care and services to patients, 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 secondly and equally as important, to truly add the human side of healthcare to this podcast, we’re weaving in real stories about real people who have had not-so-great, and maybe even some really great, experiences, on their healthcare journeys.In the end our goal, as much as possible, is to tell stories about many aspects of healthcare from a variety of vantage points, building a deeper understanding, appreciation of, and empathy for both the patients and the experiences of everyday Americans and how, hopefully, the US healthcare industry is addressing and improving it day-by-day. What’s especially unique about this podcast is that you have a healthcare industry veteran coupled with an average American to bring levity, authenticity, and a ”real” human perspective to these conversations so they don’t get too clinical, too in the weeds or complex that you have no idea what we’re talking about. This podcast is for everyone who cares about healthcare. Also available in video format on YouTube and Patreon!

In this episode, we dive into how value-based care is evolving to better support overextended providers caring for patients with chronic conditions—those who account for the highest costs despite being a small portion of the population. Technology like remote monitoring and app-based tracking is helping patients stay well and avoid ER visits. We also highlight how Welby takes a smarter approach by partnering directly with larger provider groups, delivering scalable support where it's needed most.

**SOAP notes are a structured method used by doctors to document patient encounters, consisting of four components: Subjective (patient's reported symptoms), Objective (measurable data), Assessment (diagnosis), and Plan (treatment strategy). This format enhances communication among healthcare providers and ensures accurate patient information is recorded.

You don’t often hear about disruption in the pharmacy space, but Mako Rx is changing that by tackling one of the industry’s most pressing issues: cost. In a first-world country, it’s alarming—and unacceptable—that people are skipping medications simply because they can’t afford them. Mako Rx’s partnership with Proactive MD represents a powerful path forward, enabling access to a larger patient population, which is essential for driving meaningful change in healthcare. After all, a small percentage of individuals typically account for the largest share of healthcare costs—addressing their needs efficiently could reshape the entire system.

Today’s discussion is with Monica Rutkowski Grippo, the founder and CEO of Rhea, a community supporting women through pregnancy loss & infertility (in beta). And our vision is bigger: a single, trusted resource for women's health needs. Monica nevers wants any woman to walk alone after pregnancy loss or infertility struggles so the Rhea community was born out of her own personal circumstances where the community she needed and wanted didn’t exist. So she’s creating it. At Rhea, their mission is to empower women to step into their reproductive power.
