Podcasts about healthcare leaders

Dr. Mike Heenan is the President and CEO of St. Joseph's Health System and President of St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. On the episode, Mike tells us about a time when he received one very striking complaint and how it pivoted his work and that of the organization. We also speak to Mike about his career path and how no matter who you are, you can have an impact on someone's life. Throughout his career, Mike has dedicated a lot of time to learning. He shares with us his views on how it's an important balance for all of us to keep in view. While covering some heavy but important topics, Mike also touches on how his family grounds him. And of course, how he's a big Blue Jays fan! Quotables: “I think when you go through life and you say what's my value proposition, it allows you to focus on what gets you up every day and it doesn't look like a transactional job, but a career calling.” – M. Heenan “It's these real-life experiences that can stop you as a leader… but it's these humanistic ethical issues that really make a leader pivot and say enough is enough, we really need to deal with this.” – M. Heenan “This happens in coffee shops, and it happens in hospitals. And so, I'm not going to change society overnight in one healthcare organization, but I can contribute to us fixing it one incident at a time, or one hospital at a time.” – M. Heenan “Even though we have signs in our hallways across all our hospitals in this country that say there's zero tolerance, the fact of the matter is, we do tolerate some of it.”  – M. Heenan “Someone like the IHI or HIROC who sees all these different organizations can bring this very diverse perspective to a table and apply it depending on the environment.” – M. Heenan “I appreciate all of HIROC's support. Most people see HIROC perhaps from an insurance reciprocal perspective but the value-added services and the partnership it provides to the whole continuum of providing quality care…” – M.

AI is rapidly reshaping healthcare, but the future will depend on how it is implemented responsibly, equitably, and intelligently.In this special crossover episode of Straight Outta Health IT and HIMSSCast, hosts Christopher Kunney, Mike Miliard, and Susan Morse sit down with two health innovation leaders, Dr. Ryan Sadeghian, Assistant Chief Medical Information Officer and practicing pediatrician at the University of Toledo, and Rachini Moosavi, Chief Analytics Officer at UNC Health. Together, they explore how AI, data, and governance are reshaping healthcare from the ground up. Their discussion seamlessly blends frontline experience with enterprise strategy, demonstrating how technology can drive both clinical efficiency and equitable innovation.Dr. Sadeghian presents a physician's perspective on how generative AI can alleviate workload through targeted applications. He describes a pediatric chatbot his team developed, trained with more than 420 logical pathways to provide safe, easy-to-understand guidance for parents while meeting HIPAA, ADA, and legal standards. His “small wins” approach, focusing on measurable ROI through milestones like denial reduction and workflow improvement, demonstrates how trust, data fluency, and leadership credibility form the foundation of successful AI adoption.Rachini Moosavi dives deeper into data infrastructure and governance, explaining UNC Health's collaborative approach to building its AI ecosystem. She outlines the journey from data governance to creating an AI & Automation Advisory Group that oversees bias, vendor accountability, and the ethical use of AI. Both guests stress that defining governance, ensuring equity, and maintaining human-centered care are essential as healthcare evolves toward cloud, data mesh, and interoperable systems that enable responsible AI-driven transformation.Tune in and learn how to build an AI-powered healthcare future grounded in trust, governance, and equity!Resources:The hosts:Connect with Susan Morse on LinkedIn here.Follow Healthcare Finance News on LinkedIn and visit their website.Connect with and follow Mike Milliard here.Find out more about Healthcare IT News here.Visit the HIMSS website and connect with them on LinkedIn.Listen to HIMSSCast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Amazon Music!Watch Christopher Kunney's recent TED Talk here!The guests:Connect with and follow Ryan Sadeghian on LinkedIn and visit his website.Learn more about The University of Toledo Health on their LinkedIn and website.Follow and connect with Rachini Moosavi on LinkedIn.Discover more about UNC Health on LinkedIn and explore their website.Learn more about WellLink on their website and follow them on LinkedIn.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Lynn, founder of Healthcare IT Today and Swaay Health, and Brittany Quemby, who leads their marketing effort. We discussed the evolving landscape of healthcare technology buyers and the marketing strategies that are most effective in today's increasingly challenging environment.John provides insights into how the healthcare technology buyer is changing and how the committee-driven decision-making process has become even more complex. Buyers are only investing in solutions with clear ROI or AI connections. Without these elements, vendors find themselves in an education mode, preparing for when budgets eventually open up.We also discussed the three major pain points keeping healthcare leaders awake at night: security threats (the 3 AM breach call), AI strategy challenges (navigating the current "best of breed" landscape while waiting for all-in-one solutions), and EHR optimization (maximizing the massive investments already made).Key Topics:“(00:00:00) Introduction”“(00:01:00) - The Origin Story of Swaay Health”“(00:04:00) - The Evolving Healthcare Technology Buyer”“(00:07:00) - Major Pain Points for Healthcare Leaders”“(00:11:00) - Sources of Trust and Influence”“(00:17:00) - The Access Problem”“(00:19:00) - What's Working in Marketing”“(00:25:00) - Video Content Strategy at HIMSS”“(00:28:00) - Content Formats and Trends”“(00:33:00) - Future Marketing Trends”“(00:37:00) - Go-to-Market Strategy Recommendations”If you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

Aashi Arora specializes in helping practices and health organizations turn difficult dynamics into aligned, high-performing teams. Most business problems are people problems. If you don't define your culture and values, they get defined for you, creating conflict, misaligned expectations, and stalled decisions. Some of the key takeaways are:Culture first, not last: Clarify mission, vision, and a few lived values before problems arise.Recruit for fit, not just skill: Screen for soft skills and emotional intelligence against your stated values.Name the right problem: Surface issues (billing, EMR burden, payer mix) often mask root causes (misalignment, unclear expectations, unsafe communication).Strengths-based change: Focus on what's working, using positive psychology to reach outcomes faster.Structure matters: Build measurable Individual/Team Development Plans.Leaders must thrive to lead: Invest in well-being across financial, career, physical, community, social; poor emotional regulation from burnout cascades to teams.Even top performers need help: Like elite athletes, great leaders surround themselves with complementary support and asking for help is a strength.

Collaboration is the engine of innovation in healthcare access, and nowhere is that spirit stronger than at the upcoming PAC Access Summit, a two-day event co-hosted by Emory Healthcare on October 13–14.

From building frameworks that support frontline teams to leveraging system solutions and analytics for smarter decisions, this conversation highlights the interdisciplinary work driving access transformation.Whether you're preparing to attend the Summit or looking for fresh ideas to bring back to your own organization, you'll gain insights into how Emory Healthcare is helping to shape the future of patient access.

Leading the largest not-for-profit continuing care organization in Atlantic Canada, Charbel Daniel is always looking at how the organization can do better to serve its people. On this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Charbel tells Philip and Michelle about Northwood's career college, which is adding capacity in a growing sector. He shares the work Northwood's Behavioural Support Unit is doing – challenging the standards of care provided to patients with dementia. Throughout this, Charbel weaves in lessons from his parents who immigrated from Lebanon, and how this has shaped him as a leader.   Quotables: -              “We say a lot: it's not about adding years to life, but adding life to those years.” – CD -              “Failure is really the recipe to success; you don't know how you're going to get there until you know how not to get there.” – CD -              “The work that's being done today is already fantastic and amazing but, yet every single day people are showing up and saying, ‘how can we actually do better?'.

Healthcare organizations have always faced operational, financial, and strategic pressures—but in 2025, those challenges are intensifying. A wave of current and anticipated policy changes is reshaping the industry, leaving leaders to navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain landscape. To better understand how executives are preparing for what's ahead, Advisory Board held more than 130 conversations through one-on-one calls, small-group policy forums, and other formats. These discussions revealed a wide range of strategies, concerns, and priorities. The reality? There's no universal playbook for this moment. When best practices fall short, peer-to-peer insights offer a powerful way to benchmark reactions and learn from others. In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Natalie Trebes and Chad Peltier—two researchers leading Advisory Board's policy work. Together, they explore why peer learning is more critical than ever, what's top of mind for executives across the industry, and how organizations are responding to the shifting policy landscape.

For critically ill children, survival is just the beginning of their story and post-PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) care is the cornerstone of ensuring children thrive afterwards. Dr. David Zorko's research places a magnifying glass on post-PICU care, aiming to better understand this type of care, identify the types of children who are at higher risk, and generate evidence-based practices to better support children and their families. Dr. David Zorko's role as researcher also helps him become a stronger paediatric critical care physician, as his eye for the long-term effects impacts the decisions he makes in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit). For the first time on Healthcare Change Makers, our interviewee becomes the interviewer on a special second part of the episode! For the longest time, we've wanted to give our guests an opportunity to spotlight key people in their network. Dr. David Zorko interviews two of his mentors, Dr. Geneviève Du Pont-Thibodeau and Dr. Karen Choong, who share a collective goal of researching post-PICU care. With their combined expertise, they explain why research about this type of care is critical and share advice for hospitals on improving post-PICU care. And it's a true indication of how healthcare is a team sport. Quotables: “I'm really passionate about improving outcomes for children and families who survive critical illness, and my research focuses on their long-term outcome.” - DZ “The dyad of a child and their caregivers and family are inseparable and codependent so consequently family members can also experience adverse outcomes related to their children's critical illness. Then that can impact further upon the child.” - DZ “What interventions and practices can we implement to not just help children survive, but survive better.” - DZ “My inspiration comes from the patients and their families. Some are surviving and thriving after their critical illness and some are not. And some have such serious chronic health problems that they require long ICU stays or repeated ICU admissions, and many of these survivors are becoming our future patients.” - DZ “There are over 4,000 Tim Hortons stores in Canada and less than 20 PICUs in Canada. You can imagine everyone kind of knows everyone in the Pediatric Critical Care world in Canada, and if you want to get any type of large-scale research done, we all need to partner together.” - DZ “I like to use that Ted Lasso phrase, be curious not judgemental.” - DZ “If you saw me in the ICU, what you'll hear me say to families when their child is critically ill is despite how scary this all is…that doesn't change the fact that you are still their parents. All the mom and dad things apply. And if you want to do something that your child would like, don't let these things be barriers, let us make it happen.” - DZ “There's consistent evidence that the top predictor for reducing many of these ICU consequences is family presence, so empowering and engaging them is fundamental.” – DZ “There's been so much improvement in the way that we help kids survive critical care and critical disease, that now I think our priority has shifted in terms of making sure that not only they survive but they survive with a good quality of life.” - GDT “We've evolved the model and come to understand that critical illness is a continuum of care, and it doesn't just start in the ICU. In fact, it starts before the ICU and therefore should continue after the ICU.” – KC Mentioned in this Episode: ·       McMaster Children's Hospital ·       McMaster University ·       The Canadian Critical Care Trials Group ·       Dr. Geneviève Du Pont-Thibodeau ·       Dr. Karen Choong ·       Ted Lasso TV Show ·       The Pitt TV Show ·       ER TV Show ·       Noah Wyle ·       Dr. Jacques Lacroix ·       Dr. Margaret Herridge ·       Dr. Deborah Cook Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Carey Lucki sat down with us to talk about her deep pride and passion for the work Circle of Care does as a predominant organization in Ontario's home and community care sector. What sets Circle of Care apart, as you'll hear in this episode, is its unique combination of traditional home care and upstream social care programs. This includes transportation, meals on wheels, and innovative programs like their Adult Day Program, which contributes to that true wrap-around experience for their clients. Carey speaks passionately about her vision for the future of homecare, one where people can age gracefully in their homes, and where younger generations are encouraged to pursue careers in this space. Stick around to the end where we have a fun chat in our lightning round. Carey tells us about the fiction novel she's written, which she describes as the perfect beach read. Quotables: “What's unique is that we have this wrap-around service for clients. Because when our PSW goes in a home and sees an empty fridge, we can quickly link that client up with our meals program.” – CL “Having the leaders completely together, in jive, in sync at the top is really I think what made this happen.” – CL “Our Adult Day Program (ADP) is a gem, it's a little jewel… We always say when you're having a bad day at Circle of Care, go to the ADP.” – CL “Just the relief for the caregivers… it's tough on them and when they can drop somebody off for the day or the weekend, it makes a world of difference in their lives.” – CL “97 per cent of Ontarians want to age in their home, they want to age gracefully in their home, they want to even die in their home… I think the future vision of home and community care is there.” – CL “I think also a future of home and community care is really embedding us a little more closely with primary care.” – CL   Mentioned in this Episode: Circle of Care Circle of Care Adult Day Program Sinai Health Charity Village Excellence Canada, Gold Award CAMH: The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health Jane Philpott Mark Chignell Dr. Sandra McKay The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder   Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

As a health lawyer, Mary Jane Dykeman, partner at INQ Law has a strong pulse on health information, privacy, and AI, believing that these factors are critical to the future of healthcare. This pulse allows for a unique and tailored perspective on preventing risk and strengthening privacy.   In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Mary Jane taps into her dual expertise to share insight into some of the biggest influences on the future of healthcare, finding the balance between privacy and AI, and the risk processes that improve healthcare. Quotables: “I come from a place where I think if you're going to practice law, wrap yourself around an area you love and just go do it. Law can be anything you want it to be.” – MJD “I have great faith in the leadership of the health system…  it's a very dedicated group of people across the sector and across the country.” – MJD “Privacy is in place for very good reasons. We need it, it is the price of entry. And I do think increasingly governments and public bodies are thinking about the fact that they hold this data.” – MJD “Nothing in healthcare is perfect. We don't have the resources for perfection, and I don't think we need that. We need common sense, what is the graceful solution, what is the compliant thing that we need to do.” – MJD “Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but there is a generosity, there's a real push to share what we've done.” – MJD "We think about solutions, not answers." – MJD “I like risk management because I think it's very proactive, we're not waiting for something to go wrong, we're being thoughtful and considerate upfront and hopefully finding what I've always called the graceful path through.” – MJD Mentioned in this Episode: ·       INQ Law ·       CAMH ·       Sarah Downey ·       Dr. Muhammad Mamdani ·       Unity Health ·       CAMH's BrainHealth Data Bank ·       Gemini Medicine ·       CHMA York Region & South Simcoe ·       Ontario Brain Institute ·       LHSC EpiSign ·       Holland Bloorview ·       Julia Hanigsberg ·       SickKids ·       Alan Alda ·       Dr. Ross Stanway Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

The payment process in healthcare is often slow, fragmented and paper-based, creating frustration for providers and patients, inefficiencies for payers and rising costs across the system. In this episode of Healthcare Insider, Yusuf Qasim, president of payments optimization at Zelis, shares how digital innovation can meaningfully change the healthcare payment ecosystem. From reducing friction to improving cash flow, Qasim outlines what it takes to transform outdated systems into streamlined, digital-first operations.

Black maternal health in Canada requires collective change, and that belief is exactly what sparked Toronto's first Black Maternal Health Week. Dr. Modupe Tunde-Byass, OB-GYN (NYGH) and President-Elect (FMWC), and Jennifer Dockery, Vice President, Quality, Post-Acute Care & Community Integration at North York General Hospital are determined to spotlight gaps in care and amplify the voices of Black mothers. In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Dr. Tunde-Byass and Jennifer talk candidly about why there is limited data about Black maternal health in Canada, what data is available, and what healthcare organizations can do today to better support Black families and patients. They also share a bit about their own career journey, including launching Canada's first racially concordant mentorship program. Quotables: “The biggest advice that I would give to other leaders on walking into uncharted territory is don't do it alone. Change doesn't happen in silos.” – JD "You need to start by listening, really listening, to the communities that you're aiming to serve. Their voices will actually help to guide the process – they're critical to it." – JD “I think it's important to understand that the black population accounts for 4.5% of the total Canadian population but is only represented by 2.3% physicians who identify as Black. So, you can see there are some gaps there and some underrepresentation.” – Dr. TB “The impact of anti-Black racism on Black maternal health is well documented as a crisis in the USA. It's now being recognized as an urgent health issue affecting Black women and pregnant people and families in Canada.” – JD “What we're seeing is the higher deaths of Black women in preventable diseases like breast cancer. And also, the fact that when breast cancer occurs, these women are being affected by this disease in their 40s even before they get to the point of mammograms at the age of 50.” – Dr. TB “Shining a light on these dark realities is important. And that was the essence of Black Maternal Health Week in Canada. The important thing is we're not ignored, so we have allies and people who are interested in changing the status quo.” – Dr. TB “My hope is there will be an awareness that Black Maternal Health Week isn't just about Black mothers. It's actually about a broader truth that women as a group have long been marginalized in healthcare. They've been denied access, they've been dismissed, they've been undervalued. And within that reality, Black women, Indigenous women, and other women of colour actually bear the heaviest burden.” – JD “The first step of healthcare organizations supporting Black mothers and families is recognizing that equity isn't a project. It actually has to be something that gets woven into the culture, the system, and the daily practices of care.” – JD Mentioned in this Episode: ·       North York General Hospital ·       NYGH Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinic ·       Black Physicians of Canada ·       Federation of Medical Women of Canada (FMWC) ·       HIROC ·       Toronto Black Maternal Health Week ·       Jenelle Ambrose Dash ·       Black Maternal Health Collective Canada ·       City of Toronto Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. On today's episode, host Sara Payne is joined by Arik Hanson, a renowned social media strategist whose client roster includes major names like Walmart, Sleep Number, and Dairy Queen. Arik brings his wealth of experience—having completed over 80 brand audits and coaching assignments—to discuss a challenge that persists in healthcare marketing: executive social media presence. Our conversation dives deep into why, as we look ahead to 2025, it's no longer enough for a health brand's logo to have a voice online—its leaders must step forward as well. People trust people, not logos, and an authentic executive presence is now the engine for brand trust and influence. Sara and Arik unpack the pitfalls of outdated executive social practices—such as sterile press releases and navel-gazing posts—and dig into what it truly means for a healthcare leader to show up online and create real impact. The episode explores the unique compliance challenges of healthcare, the growing appetite for authentic storytelling on LinkedIn, actionable strategies for executives who want to build trust (not just rack up low-engagement posts), and honest guidance for health CMOs who want to elevate their organization's digital reputation. Whether you're a CMO, a senior health executive, or a healthcare marketer eager to help your leaders “get social” the right way, this episode delivers practical, no-nonsense advice for the next era of social media leadership. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of health care depends on it. Key Takeaways 1. Executive Presence Outshines Brand Voice Arik asserts that while corporate brand pages are essential, individual executives' profiles often dramatically outperform them—sometimes by a factor of 5-10 in engagement, even at Fortune 50 companies. LinkedIn, in particular, is a person-to-person platform, and real conversations (and, therefore, trust and influence) happen when leaders—not just logos—step directly into the public digital square. 2. Human Relatability: The New Currency Success on social, especially for healthcare executives, now hinges on content that reveals real people and real stories. The biggest audience appetite is for leaders “pulling back the curtain”—sharing glimpses into their daily work, their decision processes, and even personal experiences and stories. Arik explains that transparency and vulnerability isn't just for “everyday people”; healthcare CEOs who share relatable, behind-the-scenes moments build greater affinity and trust. 3. Three Practices to Leave Behind Outdated tactics still dominate many executive feeds. Arik lists the top three to retire: 1) stop sharing sterile links—engagement plummets when you do; 2) don't fixate on company-centric updates—shift to industry trends and real cultural conversations; and 3) resist hiding behind “faceless” professionalism—show yourself (photos, videos, candid moments) and prioritize authenticity over carefully manicured corporate poses. 4. Measuring What Matters: Beyond the Vanity Metrics While it's important to track posts, engagements, and follower counts, the most valuable indicators of executive social success are often qualitative: Who is commenting? What are they saying? Are you seeing more meaningful interactions, speaking invitations, or employee goodwill? Arik reminds us that the real ROI often appears in direct feedback and doors opened (speaking gigs, candidate inquiries), not just numbers on a report. 5. The CMO's 90-Day Play: Coach for Humanity If you can only do one thing in the next quarter, Arik recommends helping executives inject greater humanity and relatability into their content, even if that means starting small—like celebrating...

Rebecca Shields and her team at CMHA York and South Simcoe have strong throughlines in place for their 2025-2028 Strategic Plan. A key driver of this plan is the update of their mission and values, and their new vision which is all about a cure for mental illness. This disruptive and exciting thought stems from CHMA's belief that true recovery is possible when institutions globally work together towards this goal.   What does this vision mean for their organization? “It means that we begin more and more to look at how do we partner in research, how do we ensure that we're adopting promising, evidence-based best practices, how are we adopting better data analytics and decision making,” explains Rebecca. In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Rebecca also shares insight into York Region's first Mental Health Community Care Centre. She speaks passionately about how healthcare organizations can work together to move the needle around mental health and addiction issues, and the importance of equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility and reconciliation strategies. Quotables: “The field of mental illness because of stigma has been left behind, in research, investment, in care; and so bringing people along is helping them believe and turning that belief into action that things can actually improve.” “Mental illness can be treated, people can recover. And that I think we can all get behind.” “And that collective vision is, what do we need to do to ensure that somebody's first mental health crisis is their last.” “I just want to say a huge gratitude to all of our partners, and Ontario Health and the government, for stepping up and supporting this work. This is about system change, and although we're leading it, everybody is committed to a collective vision and we can't do it without going back and believing in the possible.” “All of us have to lean in right now as we see an erosion of, and people trying to dismantle the respect and identity of each and every person and their own personal identities.” “We know that there's a tie between racism, oppression and mental health. It is a stressor. It is morally disruptive, you know absolutely that kind of ongoing trauma of racism, discrimination and oppression actually impacts somebody's wellbeing.” “I've always thought back about Dr. Ian Dawe who used to say, all of us as healthcare providers, we might be able to treat the symptoms and treat mental illness, but mental health is a home, a job, and a friend.” “The value of each person, and the perspective and what they bring actually will be part of what makes communities resilient and allows for the recovery and support of people for all of us, and our kids, our families and our seniors.” “I feel that governance is incredibly important. Good governance really supports an organization to achieve great things.” “We are trying to solve wicked problems together – and good governance and leadership are part of that.” Mentioned in this Episode: ·       CHMA York and South Simcoe ·       CAMH ·       Dr. Ian Dawe ·       Health Common Solutions Lab (Sinai Health Systems) ·       Human Services Planning Board of York Region ·       IABC Communicator of the Year Award ·       Ontario Health Mental Health and Addictions Centre of Excellence ·       Ontario Health ·       Share Scale Repeat: A Podcast by HIROC ·       Southlake Health Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

Andrew Williams and his team at HPHA are steadfast towards innovating to provide exceptional care for Canadians. One of the many efforts towards achieving this is through the completion of the Cancer and Medical Care Clinic and Pharmacy at Stratford General Hospital. This initiative is a strong testament to the fact that facilities have a positive impact on the quality of care provided, and the relationship between hospitals and their communities are key. “We would not have been able to do this had the community not stepped forward and donated their hard-earned money towards this project. It's fantastic for care, it means an awful lot to the patients who are receiving care now and to those who will need to access the unit moving forward,” explains Andrew when speaking to the new clinic and the importance of strong community relations. In this episode of Healthcare Change Makers, Andrew shares invaluable advice on being a strong leader, engaging board members, tapping into community support to leverage initiatives, and planting the seed to create strong partnerships and connections.  Quotables: “Our vision is innovating for exceptional health, and I think it really speaks to where we see healthcare today and the role that it plays in not only the work that we do in the hospital sector, but also the broader health and wellness of the community.” - AW “The most important criteria for any successful partnership is a high level of trust where you're confident the interest of all is equally viewed by the participants.” - AW “Facilities and contemporary facilities have a really positive impact on the quality of care you're able to provide, both through the lens of the patient and the staff member.” - AW “There's no such thing as not changing, you either proactively change and go a certain direction or you fall behind. Everyday you're not adapting yourself, growing yourself, or focusing on where the organization is going, you're slipping a little behind.” - AW “It's a privilege to work in the healthcare space and I always believe that with privilege comes an accountability to make a difference.” - AW “Bloom where you're planted, in other words make sure you're focusing all your energy and effort in doing the absolute best you can in whatever role you're in.” - AW “The most important thing you can do to have a successful career track is excel in the role you're in in the moment, develop yourself, and make sure you're focusing on what I believe to be the really important attributes to leadership: being accountable for your actions, making sure your actions are founded in integrity, and make sure you're in tune to those you represent.” - AW “Those who know me know that I'm a strong proponent of integration and working together, there's a lot of different organizations in the healthcare space but we all support the same population. We all have a role and that's important, but the more we can work together the better it will be for those we serve.” - AW Mentioned in this Episode: ·       Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance ·       Stratford General Hospital ·       Ontario Hospital Association ·       Healthcare Collaborative Benefits ·       London Health Sciences Centre Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.

(Note: This episode was recorded on November 7, 2024) The results of the 2024 elections are in: Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States, and we are all but certain to have a Republican trifecta at the federal level. Admittedly, there's a lot we don't know about what healthcare will look like under a second Trump administration—a lot will depend on who is appointed to key leadership positions overseeing federal health agencies and Congressional committees. But while we wait for those appointments, what can we anticipate based on President-elect Trump's first term, campaign, and the Republican platform? This week, hosts Rachel (Rae) Woods and Abby Burns invite Advisory Board experts Natalie Trebes and Ben Palmer to break down the implications of a second Trump term on the healthcare industry. They unpack how power dynamics have shifted since the first administration, and what we're likely to see on issues like the ACA, enhanced subsidies, Medicaid, drug pricing, abortion, and more.

Congresswoman Terri Sewell says she's honored to have called John Lewis a colleague, friend and mentor. Lewis, one of the most important civil rights leaders in American history, died in 2020. But his legacy is carried on by health equity champions like Sewell, who has taken up the mantle on legislation that aims to address health disparities in our nation. “The John Lewis Equity in Medicare and Medicaid Treatment Act — it really is an opportunity to reduce health disparities and to evaluate payment models of Medicare and Medicaid that will take social determinants of health into account,” Sewell says. “I really do believe that health disparities is a civil rights issue, and the opportunity to carry on a bill that [John Lewis] championed, now that he's gone, is a real highlight of my career.” Now in her seventh term representing Alabama's 7th Congressional District, Rep. Terri Sewell is one of the first women elected to Congress from Alabama — and the first Black woman to ever serve in the Alabama Congressional delegation.  She speaks with Health Disparities podcast host Bill Finerfrock about how her personal experiences have led her to the work she's doing today in Congress and also shares these words of encouragement to those working to advance health equity in their communities: “Stay in the trenches, continue to mobilize and organize around these issues and continue to fight… and advocate for what we know is a civil rights issue. It is a human rights issue, health care, and so we can be frustrated, we can be downright mad, but what we can't do is give up.” A note to our listeners: Movement Is Life's upcoming annual summit brings together stakeholders from diverse backgrounds to discuss healthy equity challenges and actionable solutions.  This year's theme is: "Health Equity: Solutions from Healthcare Leaders.” The summit will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, from November 14 to 15.

Bervell is a Ghanaian American medical student and science communicator known online as the “Medical Mythbuster.” Through viral social media content, Bervell addresses racial disparities, the hidden history of medicine, and biases in healthcare. Bervell says he appreciates Movement Is Life's emphasis on community-based programs, clinician education about health disparities, and health policy. He's excited to attend the summit and meet other like-minded people who are passionate about health equity. “By breaking that cycle of understanding that disparities exist and talking about it, we can start to reach equity,” Bervell says. Bervell speaks with Health Disparities podcast host Dr. Mary O'Connor about the 2024 Movement Is Life summit and the exciting slate of hands-on workshops and plenary speakers, including Dr. Arline Geronimus, Dr. Louis Sullivan, and Dr. Valerie Montgomery Rice.
