Fixing Healthcare… From the Trenches

America’s healthcare system is broken. While we have some of the most advanced technologies in the world, with renowned clinicians to deliver care, access to all of this remains challenging and the increasing costs are unsustainable. Healthcare in America has devolved into a bureaucratic nightmare where the words “authorization” and “third-party” seem to take precedence, and the REAL reasons for high costs have little to do with the actual delivery of care.

About Instructor

Alejandro Badia

I am a Miami and New York City based upper limb orthopedic surgeon with great interest in disrupting HOW orthopedic care is delivered. I founded OrthoNOW, a network of orthopedic walk-in centers, and currently seeking a strategic partner to replicate this model nationally, and internationally. During the pandemic, I wrote the book "Healthcare from the Trenches" and host a bi-weekly podcast, "Fixing Healthcare....from the Trenches" in order to shed light on the challenges we must overcome to truly reform US healthcare delivery.
