Send us Fan Mail Every year, millions of Americans end up in emergency rooms and hospital beds for conditions that could be treated just as well, and far more safely,in their own homes. So why does care still default to the most expensive, most disruptive setting possible? And who's actually doing something about it? Lon Hecht, CEO, Care2U joins host David Williams, President of Health Business Group to discuss bringing high-acuity care into the home, why hospital at home has struggled to scale, and how payers and providers are finally starting to align around a better model. ️️ABOUT CARE2U Care2U delivers emergency and hospital-level care directly to patients in their homes, bringing the expertise of the hospital without the stress, cost, or risk of a hospital visit.
