Fixing the Healthcare System: What Can Doctors and Patients Do About It?

This is the live recording of the SpeakSooner Community Education webinar hosted on May 21 at 6pm.

Talk to anyone working in the healthcare industry today and you’ll hear the same thing, “it’s a mess”. Yet quality healthcare is vital to our well-being. So, what can we do about it? With so many dedicated professionals and patients in need of solutions, there has to be a way to improve the delivery of medical care.

Join our panel of experts as they discuss what needs fixing and possible pathways to improve healthcare delivery. The program also addressed barriers in navigating medical terrain when issues arise with racial, ethnic and socio-economic disparities, which can lead to distrust of the healthcare system.
