LM as a Solution to Healthcare Debt & Spending
LM as a Solution to Healthcare Debt & Spending is organized by American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) and will be held from Jul 01, 2022 - Jul 01, 2025.
Description
Every industry is being re-defined by COVID, including health care itself. As telemedicine surges and the issue of the appropriateness of medical care moves to the center stage, a new healthcare marketplace is being created. At the same time, the pre-covid trend for more relationship-based medicine is growing and consumers are seeking more price transparency when shopping for care. Makary offers a road map for everyday Americans and business leaders to navigate a changing healthcare landscape and profiles the disruptors who are innovating exciting new models of care. He explains how medical science is showing that health care has been delivering too much care, some of which is dangerous, and discovering the role of healthy foods, the microbiome, and lifestyle changes in addressing chronic disease. The movement to restore medicine to its mission, Makary argues, is alive and well--a mission that can rebuild the public trust and save our country from the crushing cost of health care.
