How does a tech-enabled workforce of clinical students create more human-centric healthcare experiences? I got to spotlight the inspiring work journey of Eric Alvarez, Founder and CEO of Grapefruit Health, an organization leading the revolution in the delivery of healthcare services. Eric shares the motivations, challenges, and successes behind Grapefruit Health, highlighting the importance of progress rather than perfection. By leveraging the power of healthcare administration, education, and entrepreneurship, Grapefruit Health has found a unique solution to address the massive staffing shortage in healthcare.

By recruiting, training, and managing clinical students to perform remote work for healthcare organizations, Grapefruit Health aims to make healthcare a more human-centered experience.

You'll Discover:

* Why their focus is on high-volume, low-acuity work that doesn't necessitate clinical licensure.

* How Grapefruit Health is emphasizing its role as the "turnkey HR"

* The crucial need for post-discharge follow-ups with patients - a need met regardless of whether the health system is affluent or tier-three

You won't want to miss this engaging conversation, where Eric reveals the innovative approach behind the company and the significant impact it's poised to create within the healthcare ecosystem. Join us as we explore the journey of Grapefruit Health and its role in shaping the future of healthcare.
