Best Care, Lowest Cost? The Math Behind Nurse-Driven Healthcare Navigatio

Episode notes

What if the fastest way to lower healthcare costs… is to finally put the patient at the center? In this powerful conversation, host Lester Morales sits down with Deb Alt - “Nurse Deb” - Founder and President of AIM , a team of nurses and physicians who guide patients through the two most confusing systems in America : healthcare delivery and health insurance. This episode exposes the misaligned incentives that keep costs rising, why patients actually get worse outcomes with traditional navigation, and how a nurse-led model radically improves both quality and affordability.
