Relocalizing Health with Dave Chase · 2026-07-29 · 12 min
This episode is for the person who has been following this series and wants to know what is actually inside Relocalizing Health before they read it, and what they will walk away able to do differently. Dave Chase addresses three specific audiences directly. For advisors: the book is a field manual for building fiduciary-grade plans that hold up under scrutiny. It covers the contractual language that separates a plan built to perform from one built to produce revenue for intermediaries, the data access requirements that give employers genuine visibility into how their money is being spent, and the selection and evaluation frameworks that let advisors build accountability into every vendor relationship. For employers: the book shows what it looks like when a health plan is treated as a line of business an organization is actually willing to manage. Not a cost center that absorbs annual increases and passes them to employees. A strategic asset that generates a real dividend and reinvests it in the workforce. For community leaders: the book makes the case that healthcare cost is an economic development problem with a documented solution.
