What happens when life throws you to your knees—and you rise stronger? In this raw, empowering episode, Nikki Burnett is joined by Pam Cass and Natalie Davis, the bold voices behind the Reignite Resilience podcast, for a conversation that cut through the noise and got straight to the soul. Together, they explored what it really means to rebuild after life knocks you down—how trauma, illness, and betrayal can become the soil for your greatest transformation.
As an industry, we've been circling around the idea of value-based care for the past decade. But, did it ever occur to anyone to ask real people, the recipients of ...
On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with executive coach, speaker, cancer survivor and author Pamela Cass to unpack what really happens when burnout stops being a buzzword and starts threatening your life. Pam shares how a routine dental visit, a terrifying blood pressure reading and her history with cancer forced her to choose between a secure executive role and being alive for her kids and grandkids. They dig into why high achievers ignore the early signs of burnout, how tying your worth to your title and salary quietly erodes your health, and what it actually looks like to walk away from a six-figure position and rebuild work, money and identity from scratch. This is a direct, no fluff conversation about values, boundaries, time, and why your body will always tell the truth even when your LinkedIn looks flawless. About the guest : Pamela Cass is an executive coach, speaker, Realtor, podcast co host of Reignite Resilience, and co author of The Quiet Gift: A Journey of Self Worth and Resilience, a book about self worth, healing and finding your voice after feeling unseen. A cancer survivor, single mom and dyslexia advocate, Pam brings lived experience to her work with leaders and high performers who are done sacrificing their health and relationships for a job title. Today she helps people recognize burnout before it becomes a medical crisis and supports them in building careers that finally align with their real values. Key takeaways: Burnout is not just feeling tired. For Pam it showed up as stage 2 hypertension, dread on Sunday nights and a body that was done pretending everything was fine. Many high achievers anchor their worth to job titles, salary and status. That identity trap keeps them stuck in roles that quietly damage health, relationships and mental wellbeing. A cancer diagnosis and later a life threatening blood pressure reading made Pam face a hard binary choice. Stay comfortable in a salaried executive role or risk not being there for her kids and future grandkids. Rebuilding meant using her existing skills in coaching, teaching and speaking, leaning on her network, and owning the fear of starting over instead of letting it drive her choices. Pam treats herself as the CEO of her life. Every Sunday she runs a meeting with herself to plan the week, putting non negotiables like morning quiet time, exercise and family first, then letting work fill in around those big rocks. Common burnout signals include constant busyness, inability to rest, sleep issues, loss of interest in things you used to enjoy, withdrawing from friends and ignoring what your body keeps trying to say. You can always find another job. You cannot replace your health, time with your kids, or years lost to misaligned living. That reality check is often the real turning point.

Natalie Davis, CEO of United States of Care, joins us to talk about the challenges of discussing value-based care with patients and policymakers. Through extensive research with over 30,000 individuals, Davis shares that the term "value-based care" often evokes negative connotations of low-quality care. When presented with the benefits of value-based care without using the term itself, people were most interested in spending more time with their doctors and receiving personalized, quality care.

Natalie Davis, CEO of United States of Care, joins The Electorette host Jen Taylor-Skinner to examine the critical postpartum care crisis in the United States. Despite being a high-income nation, America's maternal mortality rates highlight significant gaps in postpartum support. Davis discusses The 100 Weeks Project, a groundbreaking initiative designed to transform postpartum care by providing comprehensive, personalized support from conception through the first year postpartum. This initiative addresses the physical, mental, and social needs of mothers, fathers, and partners alike. The conversation shifts to the challenges of healthcare access for families, focusing on insurance disparities that disproportionately affect mothers. Davis and Taylor-Skinner explore cultural and societal barriers that hinder progress and discuss the need for a reimagined healthcare system—one that recognizes diverse family structures and guarantees essential care for all mothers. The discussion also highlights the emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system, particularly for mothers facing early motherhood struggles and NICU experiences. With the Supreme Court case Braidwood v. Becerra threatening to dismantle free preventive healthcare services under the Affordable Care Act, Davis underscores the urgent need for advocacy and systemic change. This episode offers an insightful and urgent call to action, emphasizing the importance of healthcare advocacy and the need for accessible, equitable postpartum care nationwide.

For a full transcript of this episode, click here. This conversation I am having with Dan Mendelson, my guest today, all started with a post that he had written on LinkedIn considering how pharmacy benefits can or should be optimized within the broader context of value-based care. Total cost of care, value-based medical care, and pharmacy benefits—these worlds have to collide. There is just so much intertwined into all of this, which is why I pretty much immediately invited him to come back on the pod to discuss in greater detail. A few years ago, I heard a doctor say that practicing medicine without considering pharmacy is like getting to the 90 yard line, putting down the ball, and walking off the field. And, yeah … when a patient gets to a certain point in a whole lot of disease progressions, optimal medical therapy includes pharmacy. It's a thing. Adherence is a thing. In fact, I saw a stat the other day that patients not taking their meds costs an estimated $3874 PEPY (per employee per year). Also, half of all hospital admits are caused by nonadherence. Those two stats, by the way, are from a post on LinkedIn by Brian Bellware, who was recapping a video from Eric Bricker, MD. But also, as Barbara Wachsman (EP430) said on the show, half, I think she said, of all ER visits are due to patients not taking their meds right. Olivia Webb (EP337) was on the pod, if you want to go back and listen to that one, talking about how she spends hours every month trying to figure out how to navigate access issues to manage to get her Crohn's disease drug. So, yeah … one underlying reason why a lot of this stuff happens is that pharmacy benefits are purchased and siloed a lot of times. In fact, I have yet to see, really, any mainstream contract wherein a PBM (pharmacy benefit manager) is held accountable in any way for downstream medical costs, which may be incurred because of suboptimal pharmacy benefit design, right? And there are so many examples of bad downstream medical impacts. I really like how Mark Fendrick, MD, put it in episode 308. He said benefits, including pharmacy benefits, are like peanut butter and jelly relative to enabling high-quality care. You gotta have both working in concert, like CMS or a plan sponsor just paid a ton of money to get a patient an organ transplant, and then the patient can't afford their transplant meds, which aren't on formulary and are really expensive, and therefore there's organ rejection. This happens. Or a patient with uncontrolled diabetes with a huge co-pay for insulin. Doctor says, “Hey, you gotta take your insulin.” Patient says, “Can't afford it.” Right? This makes no sense, and it's shockingly common. I'm thinking right now of that young man who died in the Midwest because he could not get his asthma inhaler. It wasn't on formulary. So, here's the game plan. I talk with Dan about the five kind of vital considerations he had brought up in that aforementioned LinkedIn post when considering how pharmacy benefits can or should be optimized within the broader context of value-based care. Dan's advice for the pharma industry is woven in here as much as his advice for EBCs (employee benefit consultants) and employers. I am sure that most of our listeners are going to be very familiar with Dan Mendelson, my guest today, and his work; but the quick background here is that he runs Morgan Health. The mission over there at Morgan Health is to drive innovation in employer-sponsored healthcare, and they do that by investing and working with their portfolio companies in the context of the 300,000 or so employees over at JPMorgan Chase. At the same time, Morgan Health also engages in policy discussions because, as Dan says, no one employer is going to control public policy. As a footnote here, I just will say that I actively seek out opportunities to listen to Dan Mendelson's thoughts. He has spoken a lot and really eloquently and with great insight about setting up the economic models for healthcare, not sick care. Recently, actually, he was on a panel at the Milken conference along with Natalie Davis; Yele Aluko, MD, MBA; and Henry Ting, MD. There are definitely insights to be gleaned. Also mentioned in this episode are Brian Bellware, CIC, CHVP; Eric Bricker, MD; Barbara Wachsman; Olivia Webb; Mark Fendrick, MD; Natalie Davis; Yele Aluko, MD, MBA, FACC, FSCAI; Henry Ting, MD; Ashok Subramanian; Rik Renard; Nina Lathia, RPh, MSc, PhD; Don Berwick, MD; Kenny Cole, MD; Steve Pearson, MD, MSc; Sarah Emond; Alex Sommers, MD, ABEM, DipABLM; and Jodilyn Owen. You can learn more at the Morgan Health Web site and follow Dan on LinkedIn. Dan Mendelson is the chief executive officer of Morgan Health at JPMorgan Chase & Co. He oversees a business unit at JPMorgan Chase focused on accelerating the delivery of new care models that improve the quality, equity, and affordability of employer-sponsored healthcare. Mendelson was previously founder and CEO of Avalere Health, a healthcare advisory company based in Washington, DC. He also served as operating partner at Welsh Carson, a private equity firm. Before founding Avalere, Mendelson served as associate director for health at the Office of Management and Budget in the Clinton White House. Mendelson currently serves on the boards of Vera Whole Health and Champions Oncology (CSBR). He is also an adjunct professor at the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business. He previously served on the boards of Coventry Healthcare, HMS Holdings, Pharmerica, Partners in Primary Care, Centrexion, and Audacious Inquiry. Mendelson holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Oberlin College and a Master of Public Policy (MPP) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 04:50 How do we connect the dots between value-based care and pharmacy benefits? 07:43 Where do things need to go for employers in terms of drug spend integration? 08:42 How do we think about having a value-based component in the decision-making process? 09:44 How do we enable the necessary information to make proper decisions? 10:56 EP206 with Ashok Subramanian. 11:21 “Many payviders just haven't gotten to pharmacy yet; they need to.” 14:14 Why do pharmaceutical companies need to be prepared to contract on the basis of value? 16:46 EP426 with Nina Lathia, RPh, MSc, PhD. 17:36 EP431 with Kenny Cole, MD. 18:07 Why is it important to “let the market work”? 21:04 Why do we have cost sharing, and when does it not make sense to have that as a co-pay? 23:59 Why are evidence requirements good for everyone? 28:45 Why is pooling of risk important? 29:49 How do you pool risk without going to an insurance company? 32:03 What is Dan's advice to hospitals? 33:30 “In a value-based world, buy and bill does not make sense.” 33:36 What is Dan's advice to primary care doctors? 33:54 What is Dan's advice to entrepreneurs and innovators?

We may be politically divided, but when it comes to healthcare there is actually a lot we agree on as a nation. We want healthcare that is affordable. We want a healthcare system that is easy to understand and navigate. We want to know we will receive good care when we need it most. These insights are something our guest Natalie Davis takes to heart in her work at United States of Care. She and her team are fighting hard to help create a more dependable healthcare system for diverse and underserved Americans. We discuss:Why we should never use the term “value-based care” ever again.Braidwood vs. Becerra: The court case that may eliminate free preventive services for half of all Americans.The double whammy of US healthcare: system failures and personal shame.How to nurture listening and belonging on a team.Natalie says before you start listening, you need to consider who is being failed by the healthcare system and prioritize hearing their stories:“If we look at something like maternal health – which is a work that we're doing right now – if you look at the data, it is women of color, especially Black women who are left behind and facing a real failure of our system, which is causing morbidity and mortality. And so, for our organization, we are listening loudly to Black women and we are talking to people in communit[ies], we are talking in focus groups to really make sure we understand those issues. Because, if the people who are not served by this healthcare system are listened to and then served it will make the healthcare system function better for all of us.”Relevant LinksUnited States of Care's websiteUnited Solutions for CarePatient-First Care (a.k.a.

Everyone needs access to quality, affordable health care regardless of health status, social need or income. To reach this paradigm shift, healthcare leaders must evangelize within industry and communities they serve. There is a better path forward for American health care – one that is people-centered and transformational; however, to get there we must unite the power of one at the intersection of people, policy, and politics. By listening to people's needs, jointly developing policy solutions, and partnering with others, we can ensure our health care system works for everyone. This week on the Race to Value, we bring to you Natalie Davis and Dr. Venice Haynes at the United States of Care, a nonprofit organization focused on an ambitious goal to achieve universal access to quality and affordable healthcare for all Americans. It brings together stakeholders from various backgrounds, including healthcare experts, patients, policymakers, and advocates, to develop and implement practical, bipartisan solutions to improve the healthcare system in the United States. By fostering dialogue and collaboration, conducting research, and advocating for policies that enhance access, lower costs, and improve healthcare outcomes, the organization finds common ground and works across party lines and ideological divides to address the healthcare challenges facing the nation. As CEO and Co-Founder of the United States of Care, Natalie Davis is on a mission to reshape and implement American health care policies that improves the lives of all people. Dr. Venice Haynes, the Director of Research & Community Engagement for United States of Care, is a social and behavioral scientist focused on an overarching research agenda to address social determinants of health and health disparities in underserved populations using qualitative and community-based participatory approaches. In this episode we talk about the tenets of patient-first care (a.k.a. value-based care) including affordability, dependability, personalization, and understandability. We also have an in-depth conversation on the power of storytelling in health care transformation and the imperative to overcome structural barriers in the creation of health equity.

Typically on this show we talk to the health tech founders – who we call Health Transformers – that are creating the tools and platforms that will modernize our health system. Or we talk to top investors on what they're looking for in startups. But, on this week's StartUp Health NOW, we look back at one of our most-popular podcast episodes, which featured a different kind of guest: one that helps round out the picture of how healthcare innovation goes from idea to real-world implementation. Robert Wilson, MD, is a family physician who runs CovenantCare Family Practice, a multi-site medical practice in Tennessee. Dr. Wilson popped up on our radar because he was an early partner for PreventScripts, a startup that's part of the StartUp Health community. PreventScripts, led by Brandi Harless and Natalie Davis, MD, has created a platform that helps family doctors like Dr. Wilson identify patients who would benefit from chronic care management. Think about a patient who is pre-diabetic and all signs point towards a long battle with Type 2 diabetes. While Dr. Wilson might be too overextended to identify and coach this patient before the disease sets in, PreventScripts can identify the risk and put the patient on a clinically-proven program. Patients with chronic diseases, or the risk of disease, get heightened care between visits, and Dr. Wilson gets added reimbursement. We wanted to talk to Dr. Wilson to understand why he was interested in partnering with a health startup, as this is one of the key hurdles for any health innovator. How do you find the right clinical partner, a place to prove out your brilliant idea in the real world, and then iterate based on user feedback? In the conversation – our most-downloaded episode in the past year – we'll get into the real-world challenges that Dr. Wilson faces, his motivation for evolving his practice, and how PreventScripts has helped him fill gaps in patient care.

Do you know the old idiom, the devil is in the details? In this episode, Natalie Davis, co-founder, and CEO of the nonprofit United States of Care, tells Power Station about the importance of treating every detail in the policy making process as an opportunity to produce the most impactful legislation possible. And she is admittedly obsessed with public policy implementation, creating a plan that delivers great outcomes in real time. It takes close collaboration with local policy makers, public agencies, and community based organizations that understand the needs of their regions and where the barriers might lie to producing a powerful implementation blueprint. Natalie and her team listen to what local communities want from their healthcare systems and United States of Care shapes its policy campaigns around those priorities. Right now, United States of Care is laser-focused on the legal decision from Braidwood vs. Becerra, which strips free health screenings and other preventive care from our doctor's visits. Most people simply want to keep themselves and their loved ones healthy, a system rooted in equity and caring. That is the mission at the heart of this essential organization.

White House staffer and public health advocate Natalie Davis was all-in when President Barack Obama signed on to expand and transform our nation's ailing health care system. And she was instrumental in navigating the choppy waters of its implementation after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law in 2010. As an advisor to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Andy Slavitt, she was deeply engaged in one the country's largest expansions of health care in modern history. This was also when Natalie welcomed, albeit three months early, the birth of her first child. She experienced, as so many Americans do, the live-changing urgency of health insurance. That moment paved the way to her co-founding, with Andy Slavitt, of United States of Care, the national nonprofit she now leads. USC asks people what they want from their health care and uses policy levers to generate results. The culture is open-minded and pragmatic, working with all sectors and across partisan divides. As Natalie explains, building a people-centered health care system that works for all of us in a bold ambitious and values-based agenda that is within reach.

Typically on this show we talk to the health tech founders – who we call Health Transformers – that are creating the tools and platforms that will modernize our health system. This week we have a different kind of guest who will help round out the picture of how healthcare innovation goes from idea to real-world implementation. Our guest is Robert Wilson, MD, a family physician who runs CovenantCare Family Practice, a multi-site medical practice in Tennessee. Dr. Wilson popped up on our radar because he was an early partner for PreventScripts, a startup that's part of the StartUp Health portfolio. PreventScripts, led by Brandi Harless and Natalie Davis, MD, has created a platform that helps family doctors like Dr. Wilson identify patients who would benefit from chronic care management. Think about a patient who is pre-diabetic and all signs point towards a long battle with Type 2 diabetes. While Dr. Wilson might be too overextended to identify and coach this patient before the disease sets in, PreventScripts can identify the risk and put the patient on a clinically-proven program. Patients with chronic diseases, or the risk of disease, get heightened care between visits, and Dr. Wilson gets added reimbursement. We wanted to talk to Dr. Wilson to understand why he was interested in partnering with a health startup, as this is one of the key hurdles for any health innovator. How do you find the right clinical partner, a place to prove out your brilliant idea in the real world, and then iterate based on user feedback? In the conversation, we'll get into the real-world challenges that Dr. Wilson faces, his motivation for evolving his practice, and how PreventScripts has helped him fill gaps in patient care.

The pandemic called attention to disparities in the American healthcare system. So, what can we do to build a better, more equitable system? How do we design healthcare policy that works in the real world?Natalie Davis is the Cofounder and CEO of United States of Care, a nonpartisan nonprofit organization committed to ensuring that every American has access to quality, affordable healthcare. Natalie's career in healthcare began in 2005, and she worked in the Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services under the Obama Administration before building USOC in 2018. On this episode of HLTH Matters, Natalie joins hosts Dr. Gautam Gulati, Dr. Jordan Shlain and Patricia Bradley to discuss the four goals for the healthcare system USOC identified by talking to people across the country.

We believe that policy change is one of the ways that we need to ensure that everybody does have that access to quality care, and so, a lot of our work is at the state and federal level to change policy and legislation to ensure that people can have the access to care that they need.”
Medical jargon is a thing of the past and health literacy is now en vogue – and can actually save patients’ lives according to our guest, Dr. Lisa Fitzpatrick. We're also joined by Dr. Venice Haynes and Natalie Davis who talk to us about the anxiety, confusion, and fears people across the country have about asking those life-saving health care questions and booking a doctor’s appointment in the first place.
