Join us for a timely conversation with Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, renowned health economist, advisor, and author, as we examine the evolving landscape of consumer healthcare. Jane breaks down how shifting expectations, digital innovation, and eroding institutional trust are reshaping how patients engage with care. From wearable tech adoption and the power of food-as-medicine to health equity blind spots and the cultural readiness for omni-channel care, this episode dives into what hospitals must start—and stop—doing to regain trust and stay relevant. Whether you’re a hospital leader, technology partner, or frontline clinician, Jane offers candid insights and practical strategies to reimagine healthcare delivery with empathy, design, and the consumer at the center.
