Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase · 2026-07-28 · 10 min
This episode walks through the Rosie Award winners and the case studies that make up the appendix of Relocalizing Health - the documented proof that the model described in this book is not theoretical. Dave Chase walks through what the Rosie Awards actually represent: employers and public sector organizations evaluated on real Plan Grader scores and real reinvestment of savings through the Health Rosetta Dividend. The awards are not given for good intentions. They are given for results, for documented outcomes that show up in the numbers. The episode covers the kinds of results that have earned organizations a place in the appendix and on the Rosie Award stage: school districts that saved millions and kept teachers in classrooms, municipalities that redirected healthcare savings into community infrastructure, employers that eliminated deductibles and copays while reducing total cost, and health systems that demonstrated what direct contracting with employers actually looks like in practice.
