Cut through the noise and step into the real fight for patient access, where persistence and smart operations decide what care actually reaches people. In the latest Working Healthcare episode, host Meredith Hirsh speaks with Georgia Bonney, a seasoned consultant, biologic access advisor and practice manager whose work spans multiple medical specialties and nonstop change. Georgia is a first-generation college graduate whose mother was born in another country and did not drive until her 40s, a formative reality that sharpened her view of access, independence and determination. She weighs whether that influence was cultural or generational, and she explains how it shaped the optimistic, solutions-first leadership she brings to high-pressure work. Starting on the clinical side, Georgia saw the human impact up close, then pivoted into management because she knew she could drive broader, longer-lasting change. The conversation tackles prior authorizations, payer pressure and the quiet operational friction that can delay treatment, drain staff and test patients’ trust.
