Our guest Jim Jordan has worked in every healthcare system, from pharma, education, hospitals to IT and biotech.  He joins us to discuss some of the barriers to healthcare across the country and why the system is so confusing and complicated.  We all know there is a major divide between  public health and the actual delivery of healthcare. How did this happen and what can we do to remedy this in the future? So……….what can patients and the general public do to improve the business of healthcare?  It’s a great conversation we have sharing our insights from the physician side, and his experiences from the business/education/general population side. Next, as we all know there are a lot of new technologies coming out that may help improve our health, from Apple watches to nanobots…will this be helpful? We talk about some of the trends coming up and what to expect as more of our baby boomer population reaches old age.  More about our Guest: James F. Jordan James F.
