Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase
While Washington argues and Wall Street profits, a quiet transformation is reshaping healthcare: one community at a time.
Relocalizing Health takes you inside this movement with Dave Chase, founder of Health Rosetta, as he talks with the people leading healthcare's ground-up transformation. Their approach? Keep care local, rebuild trust, and redirect healthcare wasted spending into something that actually serves people.
You'll hear real-world stories from employers, clinicians, and civic leaders who are designing health plans and ecosystems that work, and strengthening their local economies in the process.
Featured guests include:
- Public sector leaders who've redesigned employee health benefits to free up millions for essential services.
- Physicians who've left corporate systems to practice relationship-based care.
- Manufacturing executives using healthcare as a competitive advantage - not a cost burden.
- Civic leaders helping communities reclaim control of their healthcare destiny.
If you care about your community's future and want to see what's actually working in healthcare transformation, this show offers a clear-eyed look at proven models and how to implement them.
