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.

From Kabuki Dance to Restoration: Rebuilding Healthcare With Local Blueprints
Welcome to Relocalizing Health, where we shine a light on the reality behind America's healthcare crisis and offer practical, local solutions you can start implementing today. In this episode, Dave Chase dives deep into the staggering 342% increase in healthcare costs since 1999, exposing why traditional benefit packages keep getting worse despite annual "kabuki dance" negotiations between employers, brokers, and insurance carriers.
Through real-world stories, like Bryce Heinbaugh, an Ohio benefit advisor who transformed from feeling part of the problem to helping thousands in his community, Dave Chase reveals how deliberate, grassroots actions can change the game. Learn about the transformative power of community-owned health plans, transparent pricing, advanced primary care, and keeping healthcare dollars local.
If you're an employer tired of wasteful spending or a benefit broker fatigued by the status quo, this episode uncovers actionable ways to reclaim what matters most: high-quality, affordable care for your people and real economic value for your organization. It’s not about disruption for disruption’s sake, it’s about restoring common sense and dignity to healthcare, right where you live. So tune in as we bust myths, share inspiring case studies, and invite you to join the movement to relocalize health.
