Add This Healthcare Podcast to Your 2025 New Year Resolutions

New year resolutions can be inspiring—but then there’s following through on them. Here’s one you can keep: Gain insights on the transformation of American healthcare by listening to our podcast.

It’s a new year. A fresh slate. An opportunity to form big goals.

That said, I try not to let my list of new year resolutions get too long, because (1) long lists of big goals can cause action paralysis and (2) I’d rather not feel that stab of emotional pain that comes from failing to achieve everything on my list. If that sounds like you, here’s a resolution that’s as simple as pressing play on your smartphone.

By listening to our “There’s a Better Way” healthcare podcast, you’ll be acquainted with some of today’s most innovative leaders in healthcare:

• We talked about transforming the patient experience with Cris Ross at Mayo Clinic.
• We envisioned the future of healthcare with Kroger Health President Colleen Lindholz.
• We examined the government’s role in healing healthcare with White House Assistant Director for Cancer Moonshot Policy Catharine Young.

And that’s just three episodes out of three seasons running, with Season 4 coming this spring. Until then, get a jump on your new year resolutions with a few of our top podcast episodes in 2024.
