Here’s an idea when considering the future of health and healthcare:?put patients at the center of the care model. And prevention, wellness and early diagnoses could ultimately exceed treatment-based reactionary care. Empowered, engaged consumers can navigate their own well-being, including physical, mental, financial, and spiritual health. ?Indeed, continued technology and digital advancements will sustain the entire health ecosystem. Excited for this particular panel featuring William Curry (Massachusetts General Hospital), Balaji Gandhi (Phreesia), Rainelle Walker-White and Ellana Stinson, MD, MPH, MBA (Boston Medical Group) at Thursday's SALA and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health's 'Better Health for All' Summit. More here: https://lnkd.in/dX2Pc64Z #healthcare #leadership #community Sanofi, The Jed Foundation (JED)
