Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase · 2026-06-02 · 40 min
Welcome to Relocalizing Health, the podcast about taking back healthcare and rebuilding communities. In today’s episode, host Dave Chase sits down with Kenneth Aldridge, the long-time clinical leader at Rosen Medical Center in Orlando, Florida. Together, they explore how Rosen Hotels has built the nation’s longest-running and most comprehensive employer-sponsored advanced primary care model, one that delivers exceptional outcomes for a diverse workforce, including a high percentage of high-risk pregnancies, while spending less than half the national average on healthcare. Kenneth Aldridge shares stories from nearly three decades of transforming care: from breaking down barriers to access for associates from third-world countries, to innovative programs like free transportation, on-the-clock appointments, medication support, and comprehensive case management throughout pregnancies. The conversation goes deep into the practical steps that have built lasting trust, improved health outcomes, and freed up resources for broader community well-being, including scholarships and neighborhood revitalization.
