Learning From The Pandemic: How We Can Improve The Healthcare System Post-COVID With John Chessare

The recent pandemic exposed the many flaws in the current healthcare system. Now, how do we deal with these realizations post-COVID? Do we just go back to how things were? Or, do we re-design care for the better?

He joins Roger Spoelman together with co-hosts Ben Sawyer and Dr. Darin Vercillo to chat about the problems that arose during the pandemic and what GBMC did to mediate and do better amidst the adversity. Tune in to find out how they’re adapting patient-centered care post-pandemic and challenging the healthcare system to be more accessible.
