About this audiobook
*Here Be Dragons* takes us on one’s man’s quest to make healthcare more accessible and affordable for all. Web Golinkin began his healthcare leadership journey by starting the first 24-hour cable TV network dedicated to health, America’s Health Network, which was eventually sold to Fox. He then helped to revolutionize healthcare with RediClinic, one of the first companies to put healthcare clinics inside drug, grocery, and big box stores, and was later sold to Rite Aid. More recently, Web was CEO of FastMed, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing operators of urgent care clinics. But this is not a book about unbridled success. It is the true story of what happens when you are bold enough to try to transform a hidebound, multi-trillion-dollar industry. Retail clinics are now a permanent part of the healthcare landscape, but getting there did not come without a fight and required all the passion, endurance, and street-smarts that Web could muster at every step along the way.
