Summary
Details

Healing the Sick Care System explores why a nation with extraordinary medical talent, resources, and innovation still struggles to deliver care that feels connected, coordinated, and human.

The book reveals how even the most dedicated clinicians and well-intentioned payers are constrained by structures never designed for the complexity of modern health needs. Patients who do everything ""right,"" including securing insurance, finding a provider, and making time to show up, still encounter delays, confusion, and gaps in care. Rather than blame individuals, the book shows how fragmentation and outdated processes quietly undermine everyone's best efforts. Yet this is ultimately a book about possibility.

Through stories from across the health ecosystem, Healing the Sick Care System illustrates how empathy, collaboration, and clarity can realign care around what matters most: people.

When patients feel heard, when clinicians are supported, and when payers and providers work toward shared goals, outcomes improve and burnout decreases.

The book offers a path forward grounded in respect and partnership, reminding us that healing the system begins with recognizing our shared humanity and designing care around it.
