Bright Spots in Healthcare · 2026-06-02 · 60 min
The healthcare system we've built is remarkably good at treating disease. The question is whether it's designed to create health. In this episode of Bright Spots in Healthcare, Eric Glazer sits down with Dr. John D'Angelo, President and CEO of Northwell Health, one of the largest health systems in the country, for a candid conversation about what healthcare leaders may be underestimating about the decade ahead. Rather than focusing on individual trends, Dr. D'Angelo challenges some of healthcare's biggest assumptions, from the way we think about affordability, to the way we deliver care, to the role technology should play in helping people stay healthy before they become patients. The discussion explores why affordability may ultimately be a prevention challenge, how healthcare can move from episodic encounters to continuous health management, what workforce shortages mean for the future of care delivery, and why building the right digital infrastructure may be one of the most important investments health systems make over the next decade.
