Скачать или смотреть How To Create An Ideal Health System | Chad Swanson | TEDxMidvale

Much like today, the 1890s was a time of significant change and opportunities in health and medicine. In this talk, Dr Chad Swanson shared the story of two less-well known African American health innovators of that time, and implications of their story for today. Dr. Lawson Scruggs and nurse Marie Burgess demonstrated that keeping a relentless focus on health and well-being for all can have surprising significance and I share three lessons. First, the health system is much more than the healthcare system. Second, health is a journey that we travel on with many others, not just an episode of medical care. Third, our institutions and organizations should adapt as society and our health challenges change. Dr Chad Swanson is a dedicated emergency physician whose passion for advancing health and well-being drives his every endeavor. Armed with a Master's in Public Health, he delves deep into the intricacies of healthcare systems, aiming to effect positive change on a grand scale. Chad's expertise extends beyond the confines of the hospital walls; his published works in esteemed academic journals, such as The Lancet, explore the complexities inherent in healthcare with a keen eye for systemic issues.

As a thought leader in systems change, Chad tirelessly advocates for innovative approaches to healthcare delivery, aiming to ensure equitable access to quality care for all. His visionary outlook propels him forward as he strives to shape a future where health disparities are a thing of the past.

Currently, Chad is channeling his insights and experiences into the creation of a compelling book. Through this project, he aims to shed light on the transformative potential of visionary physicians who dare to challenge the status quo and envision a brighter, healthier world for generations to come. Chad's commitment to his profession and his unwavering dedication to the well-being of others make him a beacon of hope in the field of healthcare.
