We delve into the evolution of health care with our guest, Brian R. Jackson, a pathologist. Once a local industry where doctors and hospitals were deeply integrated into their communities, health care has now become a major business dominated by large corporations. We explore the implications of this shift, examining the impact on patient care, community responsiveness, and accountability. Brian shares his insights on whether it's possible to reverse this trend and return to a more locally-run health care system, drawing from examples in both the U.S. and international models.
Brian R. Jackson is a pathologist.
He discusses the KevinMD article, "Why health care organizations must be accountable to local communities."
