🎙️ Hosts: Shannen & Nyleen

Aloha! Shannen and Nyleen are landing in a place where the vibes are tropical, but the administrative systems are anything but a vacation. This week, we’re looking into why one of the most beautiful places in America is also the most archaic when it comes to medical credentialing. From paper-based applications that slow everything down to significant infrastructure failures and public health emergencies, find out why this paradise is struggling to keep its healthcare system afloat. We’re also diving into a chilling legal scandal involving a local physician and a high-stakes manhunt— see for yourself how the system responded and why modern tools like Baton are the only way to survive the chaos.
