S1, E13: An interview with AMITA Health's CEO Keith Parrott & Chief Advocacy Officer Cristal Gary
Show Notes

Dr. David Ansell & John McIlwain talk to the AMITA Health's CEO Keith Parrott and Chief Advocacy Officer Cristal Gary about AMITA Health's recent announcement that the merger between Ascension Healthcare and Adventist Midwest Health is separating after seven years.  The move to become more nimble and market driven is important to the two faith-based healthcare providers and partially driven by the desire to keep community based health decisions at the community level.  Keith and Cristal provided a fascinating dialogue on the role of community based initiatives and the larger healthcare delivery discussion.
